I have two temporary veneers and am waiting for permanent ones. One temporary has already popped off twice. I have read that I will never be able to eat corn on the cobb, bite into an apple, bite into a sandwich or basically bite into anything that isn’t super soft....like a soggy French fry once I have my veneers. Is this true? I think I have made the worst decision of my life. My dentist said NOTHING about the eating restrictions before starting the process. I am sooooo depressed.

Answer: Eat eat eat Temporary veneers are made up of acrylic (weak plastic) so of course that can break or pop off. Permanent veneers you should be able to eat whatever but with care. Corn on a cobb, burgers and sandwiches should be fine. If you Dentist binds your veneers in correctly.

Answer: Porcelain Veneers and Eating Hi Wookie77,Porcelain veneers are a beautiful, long term restoration if done right. When you are in provisional temps, very often the cement we use cannot withstand biting into foods. When you get your veneers on they will use a bonding type of cement that is very strong. That will enable you to eat most anything. I do tell my patients not to eat corn on the cob. I then say, I"I have veneers on my teeth and I carefully eat corn on the cob and have for years." I inform everyone and then let them make their own decision. Hamburgers, sandwiches, meats, fruits should be no problem for you. As someone said here - only put food in your mouth, no crunching ice, or opening bottles, or doing something unnatural with your teeth! With that pre-caution, you can really enjoy your new smile!
