When you get porcelain veneers, are there any food restrictions?

Example, would you not be able to bite into certain foods anymore (like apples, carrots, etc.)?

When you get porcelain veneers, are there any food restrictions?
I have 12 crowns, pretty much the same as veneers.





I do avoid biting hard things with my front teeth


(they are crowns) I broke my original front teeth on a dried apricot, not even hard. And broke one of the front crowns on something like an apple and had to have it replaced. So I cut hard things to bite size.
Reply:no fork biting


you won't be able to bite your nails as well... veneers are not as sharp as your natural teeth


other that that just treat them as teeth
Reply:Porcelain veneers are just shells on your teeth. You do have to modify your eating habits so you don't fracture the veneer.
Reply:Only for the ones that require extra biting/chewing force; rest is just a cake walk. Go get your new smile and enjoy.
Reply:First, porcelain is a sort of glass. It can break. Next, a veneer is not a complete covering of an existing tooth. It is more like an outer top shell that is cemented on- the best analogy I can think of at the moment is: a veneer is similar to an artificial finger nail. The strength is not there as it would be with a full coverage crown. Yes, you will need to exercise caution when eating certain foods. If you can manage the discipline to do this, you shouldn't have any worries. If it does pop off, you may have it re-cemented provided there is no damage to it or your natural tooth. A lot of folks have veneers and are very satisfied with them. Good luck!
