While they typically have a lifespan of\n10-15 years, they\u2019re not infallible. Would you know what to do if your\nporcelain veneer suddenly fell off? Read on for a step-by-step guide on how to navigate\nthis alarming situation and protect your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step One: Collect the Pieces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep your broken or detached porcelain veneer in a hard, clean\ncontainer instead of your mouth to prevent choking on it. If it\u2019s mostly in one\nlarge piece, your dentist may be able to simply put it back in place, so keep\nit somewhere clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Two: Call Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step is to contact your cosmetic dentist in Reno as\nsoon as possible. It\u2019s important to see your dentist right away to protect the\nnewly exposed tooth. While making an appointment with your dentist, they can\ninstruct you over the phone on how to keep your tooth safe. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Be Careful as You Wait for Your Dental Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rest assured, a porcelain veneer that\u2019s fallen out is not a\ndental emergency. Since only a thin layer of enamel was removed to place the\nporcelain veneer, your tooth is not in any immediate or serious danger. You are\nlikely to notice an increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages as\nwell as a rough sensation against your lips and tongue, so use caution while eating\nor drinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Use a Temporary Solution if Needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless directed to by your dentist, do not attempt to\nreattach the veneer on your own, as you could damage the porcelain or your\ntooth. However, if you\u2019re having a difficult time with the thermal sensitivity\nor enamel roughness, you can use dental wax as a temporary solution. Try\nsquishing a thin layer flat onto the surface of your tooth as a barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Your Dentist Will Identify What Caused the Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At your dental appointment, your dentist will first and\nforemost make sure you\u2019re comfortable and not being irritated by any lingering\nshards of your veneer. Then, they\u2019ll determine what caused your veneer to fail.\nCommon culprits include teeth grinding, bad chewing habits, incorrect\nplacement, damage, or decay behind the veneer. These underlying issues must be\naddressed first before moving forward with your porcelain veneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Have Your Porcelain Veneers Repaired or Replaced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the veneer is in good condition and still fits properly,\nyour dentist may be able to disinfect it and reattach it. Chipped, cracked, or\nsplintered porcelain veneers can sometimes be repaired with a composite resin, but\nthis material isn\u2019t as lifelike or durable as dental porcelain and will likely cause\nproblems in the future. In most cases, a porcelain veneer that cannot be\nreattached must be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, it\u2019s rare for porcelain veneers to fall out or\nbreak. By keeping them clean and reducing any unnecessary wear and tear, you\ncan expect to enjoy your flawless smile for more than a decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You can get the dazzling smile you\u2019ve always wanted with\nporcelain veneers from Sage Dental Care in Reno, NV.
