Swimming is not prohibited. You may experience some sensitivity, if the water is really cold, but it shouldn't last very long. The temporary glue that's used to hold on the temporaries can also weaken with swimming. I would recommend possibly wearing a mouth guard to keep to make sure you don't lose your temps. I hope this helps and you can follow me on RealSelf if you have more questions.
You can swim, but I would recommend having a thin, hard bleaching tray made to fit over your veneers to be used while you are swimming. We often make these for patients to wear at night to prevent dislodgemennt of temporary veneers. Your dentist should easily be able to do this for you.
Temporary veneers are an important part of the veneer process and allow you to test drive the final result. However, they could easily become dislodged if not cared for properly. I tell my patients here in Las Vegas to avoid crunchy, sticky, and chewy foods while wearing temporary veneers. Swimming is not restricted!

Hello Ellie, Thank you for posting your photos! You appear to be an excellent candidate for veneers. While it is possible to veneer only your two front teeth, I would recommend veneering the top four front teeth to give you the best esthetic result. It's important to select an experienced cos...
I noticed plaque and gingival inflammation in your photographs. You need to get your gums healthy before proceeding with any cosmetic treatment. Adding 5mm to the length of your front upper teeth will give you a deep overbite, and adding this much length will make them very...
Hello there,A new dental veneer should not be cracked. I would recommend returning to your dentist for a complete evaluation. If your veneer has a crack in it, the best option would be to replace it. Patching the veneer is not a long term solution. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me ...
Hey,Great question. I know there are several dentists who do veneers for patients with edge to edge bite, but I personally avoid doing that. I feel the chances of the veneer chipping off or breaking are much greater with such a bite. I would rather you consider orthodontic treatment or full...
