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.
