Veneers in Tijuana · Day 7 of 7
Day 7 after veneers in Tijuana
Last check before home. Take the clinic's written aftercare and warranty paperwork with you.
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.
