For example, you will need to avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sticky foods, including caramel, taffy, and other similar consistencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark-colored beverages that can easily stain your teeth, including tea, soda, coffee, and berries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hard foods that can cause your temporaries to fall off, including raw vegetables, popcorn, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tough meat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you are encouraged to follow a soft food diet while you wait for your permanent veneers. You can enjoy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Mashed potatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soft bread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soft fruits (bananas)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pasta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicken<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can You Eat with Permanent Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it is time to place your permanent veneers, your dentist will use a stronger, more durable cement to attach your restorations. This high-grade bonding agent will help provide greater peace of mind as you live with your new smile, allowing you to eat many of the foods you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since porcelain is highly durable, it is unlikely to be damaged as easily as other materials; however, they are not indestructible. If you\u2019re not careful, you can break or chip one of your veneers, which may require early replacement. To avoid this, make sure that you are mindful of what you choose to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While enjoying life with your new veneers, be careful about eating or drinking the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Dark beverages, including coffee, soda, tea, red wine, etc., should be enjoyed in moderation and followed up with water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hard foods, including popcorn and nuts, can crack or chip a veneer, causing it to fall off or require replacement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alcohol can weaken the bonding agent used to attach your veneers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sugary foods can cause dental decay and weaken the enamel, making it harder for your veneer to remain in place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still enjoy many of your favorite foods and beverages while wearing veneers. Just continue to be mindful of your consumption so that your new teeth last longer and remain just as beautiful as the day you received them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Grand Dental \u2013 Sycamore<br><\/strong>Veneers remain among the most popular cosmetic services at our dental office in Sycamore.
