Porcelain veneers<\/a> are a beautiful and functional method to mask imperfections in your smile. These thin, porcelain shells are attached to the front of your teeth to hide flaws as well as enhance your appearance. They\u2019re incredibly durable and can last up to 10 years, but they\u2019re not entirely infallible. It\u2019s possible for them to break or separate from your tooth, which can leave you feeling anxious about what to do next. Keep reading to learn about 5 steps to take if your veneer has come out of place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Gather It Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although they\u2019re chip-resistant, it\u2019s still possible for the ceramic cover to break. Sometimes you\u2019ll need to find and collect multiple smaller fractures, but it\u2019s possible that it\u2019s still in one large piece. Either way, do your best to find what broke off, rinse it gently, and keep it in a clean container. Don\u2019t try to store it in your mouth because this can be a choking hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Call Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not considered a dental emergency when a veneer breaks or falls off, but your dentist will still need to see you as soon as possible to protect your now-exposed tooth. They\u2019ll schedule an appointment for you and may even provide additional care instructions over the phone for you to follow while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #3: Be Cautious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because some enamel must be removed from your tooth to place a veneer, once it\u2019s gone, you might experience some sensitivity to incredibly hot or cold foods and drinks. You might also notice a rough sensation against your lips and tongue where the shell was bonded, so just be careful if you eat anything before you get to the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #4: Don\u2019t Replace It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re having tooth-sensitivity, it can be tempting to try to glue your veneer back into place. You shouldn\u2019t try to replace it yourself, though, because you could potentially damage both it as well as the underlying pearly white. Furthermore, you don\u2019t have the right products to safely reattach it. Glue is toxic to humans, and probably won\u2019t even be effective at keeping your dental work in place. If you\u2019re uncomfortable, place a layer of dental wax over the vulnerable tooth, instead, to smooth over the rough edges for an added layer of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #5: Repair Your Veneer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you get to the dentist, they\u2019ll examine your condition to try to determine why your veneer fell off. There are a number of causes such as grinding your teeth, tooth decay, improper bonding, or negligence. They\u2019ll work with you to address any underlying concerns before repairing or replacing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it rarely happens, now you\u2019ll know what to do if your veneer ever falls out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
