Whether you have temporary or permanent veneers, our team recommends keeping things simple in the first few days following placement. Stick to soft foods, like soups and yogurts, because they don't require much chewing. You can slowly build up to harder food items as your gums recover. Remember, just like your natural teeth, some types of foods can cause problems with your veneers. Avoiding foods that could chip, crack, or otherwise harm your veneers is essential.
