A. We find that eating habits only need to be modified slightly. Anything that involves extensive incisal (front teeth) pressure such as eating an apple, eating corn on the cob, tearing off hard bread, etc., should be modified by such precautions as cutting an apple before eating, cutting the corn off the cob, and tearing up the bread before then chewing with the back teeth. We find that after 15 years, the percentage of veneers that Dentists have placed that have broken has been less than 1%.
