I want to get veneers. Can you eat whatever you want with veneers?

You can possibly eat almost everything with lumineers, however there are few things to consider:
1) Depending on the knowledge of the provider in veneers prep and design and the maximization of proper bonding techniques.
2) Veneer vs Lumineer. Lumineers bond stronger on enamel. Veneers tend to bond on dentin which is a much weaker bond.
3) Universal caution to be applied. Avoid incising harsh and crunchy foods; Not much harder past biting on an apple. Don't hold clips, nails, so forth between teeth. Don't bite into hard French bread, so forth.
4) Invest in Therapeutic Splint for nighttime protection which ensures longevity of the Veneers/Lumineers.
Hello.

Actually you need to be careful. Remember veneers are a beautiful piece of porcelain or glass. Care must be taken to take care of them. I would not recommend biting into really hard items such as a thick carrot, or a frozen candy bar. Be sure to ask the dentist that will be prepping your teeth for veneers what you should and should not bite into.
Good luck,

It depends on multiple variables especially tooth structure, construction of the veneer and bruxism.
You have to be careful what you eat when you have veneers. Veneers are coverings placed on the outside of your teeth and are bonded to them. This bond strength has a limit that can be exceeded, causing veneers to separate and come off the teeth.
