Can I drink coffee after teeth bonding?

I got tooth bonding 3 days ago. I want to drink coffee. Can I drink coffee after teeth bonding?

You should be able to drink coffee. Bonding is usually composite filling material, always remember just like your teeth, stains will affect them and usually they are more porous and have margins which can affect stain absorption. make sure you take care of them.
Yes.
Composite bonding May stain but this tends to happen anyway regardless of how long you wait to drink coffee because they are a mix of plastic and porcelain, Laminates tend to stain less but can do so if the margins are leaking, and crowns rarely stain; especially if they are made of porcelain fused to metal. All Porcelain crowns are also a type of laminate but typically do not stain unless there is a leak of some type.

Yes, you can drink coffee. If the bonding is on your front teeth, you just want to be aware that filling or bonding material is more porous than natural tooth, so it will stain more quickly over time. For my patients who have bondings on their front teeth, I recommend drinking coffee, soda, red wine, etc. through a straw to minimize staining.
