Oh no \u2013 your veneer fell off! Panic might be your first instinct but, rest assured, it happens! You\u2019re not the first patient to find themselves in this predicament, and you surely won\u2019t be the last. While this situation is not considered a dental emergency, there are still steps you should take that involve your dentist. Read on as your Annapolis cosmetic dentist shares what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Veneers Fall Off?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmandentalcare.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">dental veneer<\/a> is adhered to the front-facing portion of your tooth using special cement. However, since it\u2019s supposed to be replaced every few years, the adhesive is not permanently binding. So, even though veneers <em>are<\/em> durable, they can fall off if they encounter excessive amounts of pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other reasons why your veneer fell off may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>An old veneer. <\/strong>Over time, the adhesive that keeps your veneer attached to the tooth weakens, causing it to fall off.<\/li><li><strong>It wasn\u2019t bonded properly. <\/strong>If your veneer keeps coming off, that can indicate that it simply wasn\u2019t properly bonded. Consider seeing a different dentist if it becomes a reoccurring issue.<\/li><li><strong>Tooth decay. <\/strong>Since veneers adhere to natural teeth, each underlying tooth needs to remain healthy, or else oral health issues like decay can cause a veneer to fall off.<\/li><li><strong>Negligence. <\/strong>Avoid chewing on hard things like ice or candies, as it increases your chances of a veneer breaking or falling off.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do If Your Veneer Fell Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did your veneer fall off? Here\u2019s what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Put Your Veneer in a Sealable Container<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your veneer in a clean container to protect it while you wait to see your dentist. If it\u2019s broken, collect as many pieces as you can and place them in the container. Your dentist may be able to reattach it, so keep it safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Your Dentist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you must contact your cosmetic dentist as soon as possible to protect the newly exposed tooth. They\u2019ll provide you with instructions on how to keep your tooth safe \u2013 make sure you follow their advice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a Temporary Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not attempt to reattach the veneer on your own. Always wait for instructions from your dentist before trying to resolve the situation on your own! You may experience increased tooth sensitivity or enamel roughness on your exposed tooth. If necessary, apply dental wax onto the surface of your tooth to act as a barrier in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repair or Replace Your Veneers Right Away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the state of your veneer, your dentist may be able to reattach it. It can even be repaired with composite resin if it\u2019s slightly damaged. However, that is not ideal because the material isn\u2019t as durable as porcelain. In most cases, it may be best to simply order a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your veneer falls off, don\u2019t panic \u2013 your dentist can fix it quickly. Luckily, proper dental care can help you avoid these accidents and enjoy a flawless smile for life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Goodman Dental Care, we offer comprehensive, personalized, high-quality services beyond what can be found anywhere else.
