Can you drink coffee with dental bonding?

I got dental bonding 2 days ago. Can you drink coffee with dental bonding?

Yes, you can.
Of course, you can drink coffee after dental bonding. The restorative material is cured and can resist staining. After your coffee, it is a good idea to wait 30 minutes and brush your teeth. If, unable to brush rinsing your mouth out with water would be helpful.
Yes, but swish around. Also, just like natural teeth stain, so do the bondings.
It depends. Generally, smooth, highly polished composite bonding shouldn't stain. However, it depends on the type of bonding you had completed. If the bonding was used to fully re-surface the front of your tooth/teeth (like a veneer), then if it's smooth, it shouldn't stain.

If bonding was added to only part of your tooth (like when gaps or diastemas between teeth are closed), then the interface between the bonding composite and the tooth can collect stain.

If you are going to drink coffee, just keep a close eye on if you are getting stain spots or lines so you can discontinue the coffee consumption if you need to.
