While these thin, durable shells of dental porcelain are incredibly versatile and can last for up to 25 years with the proper maintenance, it\u2019s still crucial to be mindful of what you eat and drink so you can ensure they maintain their new, brilliant appearance for longer. Read on to learn more about certain foods and beverages that are good to avoid if you have veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can You Eat with Temporary Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you receive your permanent restorations,&nbsp; your cosmetic dentist will place temporary veneers over the visible surface of your prepared teeth. These will help give you an idea of what your final results will look like, but it\u2019s important to keep in mind that they weren\u2019t built to withstand as much as your permanent veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to stick to soft meats, vegetables, and starches while you have your temporary veneers. Make sure to stock your pantry and refrigerator with chicken, soft canned foods and soups, bananas, soft bread, eggs, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and pasta. You won\u2019t have to eat these foods forever\u2014typically, your temporary veneers will be removed within about two weeks, once your permanent ones are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can You Eat with Permanent Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike with your temporary veneers, your permanent ones will be crafted from durable porcelain that can withstand the daily wear-and-tear of eating and are less susceptible to becoming damaged. Even though this material is stain-resistant, it\u2019s still a good idea to minimize your intake of foods and drinks that can cause them to discolor faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help them keep their bright appearance and avoid any accidental damage, it\u2019s best to steer clear of foods that are excessively hard or chewy, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages (which can affect the bonding material), and dark liquids like red wine, black tea, and coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Ways to Maintain Your New-and-Improved Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that you won\u2019t have to change your eating habits just because you\u2019re getting porcelain veneers; however, after investing in your new grin, it makes sense to take precautionary measures to preserve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your veneers can\u2019t get cavities, your teeth underneath them still can, so remember to maintain good at-home hygiene by brushing and flossing daily. You\u2019ll also want to continue visiting your dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the proper maintenance and mindful habits, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy your veneers for up to two decades, making them well worth the financial and time investment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Alan DeAngelo is a highly skilled cosmetic dentist with over two decades of experience under his belt.
