Although there are more options than ever, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belchertown-dentist.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">veneers<\/a> continue to rank among the top cosmetic procedures year after year. You can correct multiple issues simultaneously using a minimally invasive method that can last for decades with the proper care. Besides brushing and flossing, your dentist will recommend changing your diet to get the most from your investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating with Temporary Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting veneers will take a couple of appointments. Your teeth are prepared during your first visit, which involves removing a little enamel. Your dentist will take an impression of your mouth and send it to the dental lab. The lab will craft your veneers to fit your teeth like a glove, but it can take a couple of weeks. Your dentist will apply temporary veneers while you wait to protect your teeth. It also allows you to \u201ctry on\u201d your new smile, but your temporary restorations won\u2019t be as strong as your permanent ones. As a result, your dentist will recommend skipping certain foods, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hard or crunchy foods<\/li><li>Raw fruits and vegetables<\/li><li>Tough meats<\/li><li>Sticky or chewy candy<\/li><li>Toasted or crusty bread<\/li><li>Stain-causing foods and drinks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you might need to give up some of your favorite foods for a few days, there are still many tasty things you can enjoy, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Chicken<\/li><li>Eggs<\/li><li>Soft bread<\/li><li>Soft fruits and vegetables<\/li><li>Pasta<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating With Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your veneers have been sent back to your dentist, you\u2019ll return to their office to have your temporary ones removed. Your final restorations will be more durable than the temporary veneers because they are made of high-grade porcelain, which is more resilient to staining and stronger; however, they aren\u2019t indestructible. Therefore, your dentist will recommend limiting:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Extremely hard foods, which can chip or crack veneers<\/li><li>Dark foods and drinks that can stain your underlying teeth<\/li><li>Tobacco and smoking<\/li><li>Alcoholic drinks because they can weaken the bonding material<\/li><li>Sugary foods and drinks to prevent cavities<\/li><li>Sticky foods that may pull your veneers off or cling to your teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintaining Your New Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides watching what you eat, good oral hygiene is vital to promote the lifespan of your new smile. Use nonabrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth twice daily. Use high-quality floss to clean between each tooth every day. Your dentist will recommend breaking bad oral habits, like chewing on your fingernails or using your teeth to loosen bottle lids. Finally, don\u2019t forget to visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. With a little attention, your dazzling smile will look its best for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Mark D.
