Veneers in Tijuana · Day 6 of 7
Day 6 after veneers in Tijuana
If your veneers are in, you are free to enjoy almost everything. Ask the dentist to check your bite before you fly.
Today's rules
Biting and food texture
Do not bite straight into hard or crunchy food such as apples, carrots, hard bread or tough meat. Cut it up and chew with your back teeth.

Hot and cold
Teeth are often more sensitive to heat and cold after preparation and fitting. Sip frozen drinks and hot coffee carefully.

Snorkel and mouthpieces
With final veneers, a snorkel is usually fine if you grip it gently. Ask your dentist.

Confirm with your surgeon. These are general activity limits from published aftercare guidance. Your clinic's written instructions always come first, and they may be stricter or looser for your procedure.
