Veneers<\/a> are one of the most comprehensive cosmetic solutions available, but in addition to their beauty and their ability to conceal multiple flaws at once, they are also highly durable and can last for several years! That said, they aren\u2019t immune to coming loose or falling off entirely. Whether it happens while eating, brushing, or out of nowhere, it can be a stressful experience until you see your dentist. Here’s how you should handle this situation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Steps to Take If Your Veneer Falls Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your veneer comes off, try to stay calm and follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Locate the veneer \u2013 <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve found it, keep it in a safe, clean container since your dentist may be able to reattach it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Protect the exposed tooth \u2013 <\/strong>The tooth underneath may feel sensitive, so avoid extreme temperatures and hard foods until it’s repaired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Cover any sharp edges \u2013 <\/strong>If the exposed tooth feels rough or sharp, dental wax can help prevent irritation to your cheek or tongue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Call your dentist promptly \u2013 <\/strong>The sooner you schedule an appointment, the sooner your veneer can be reattached or replaced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Your dentist will first examine the exposed tooth to check for any damage or decay. If the veneer itself is undamaged, it may be possible to simply reattach it. However, if it’s cracked, chipped, or too worn to reuse, a new veneer will need to be crafted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
