Following your veneers treatment, you’ll want to slowly incorporate new foods into your diet as you adjust to your new smile. After a few weeks, you can enjoy the foods you love without any restrictions unless specified by Dr. Hausten.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 15 years or longer. To get the most out of your treatment, we recommend following a few guidelines, including:
Avoid biting into hard foods such as carrots and apples
Refrain from consuming foods and beverages that are known to cause staining such as red wine and coffee
Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rinse between meals
Address any issues with teeth grinding
Don’t use your teeth as tools
Wear a mouthguard
In addition to following our guidelines, you’ll also want to schedule biannual visits at our Wheaton location so we can examine your oral health and the integrity of your veneers.
