Veneers and cementation: aftercare
Questions or concerns after your visit? Call (516) 430-7730.
- Wait one hour before eating. Eat only very soft, non-sticky foods for 2–3 days, and chew lightly.
- Brush and floss twice a day to avoid infection.
- For the first few days, don't lift the floss when flossing around a veneer. Pull it through instead so the veneer isn't lifted.
- After eating or drinking strongly colored foods such as berries or coffee, brush your teeth to prevent staining.
- Avoid biting your nails or anything hard, as this can chip veneers.
- If you feel severe discomfort from a veneer, call us right away.
- Return for a follow-up exam.
