Veneers can truly transform your smile, taking gapped, broken, and misaligned teeth and making them appear full, symmetrical, bright, and even. Even with the proper care, these restorations can still accidentally become detached from your tooth, leaving your prepared natural tooth exposed and forcing you to go about your day with a less-than-beautiful smile. In this situation, it\u2019s important to be prepared. Read on to learn how you should handle a veneer<\/a> falling off a tooth and what you can do to prevent it from happening in the future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Steps to Take After a Veneer Falls Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Call your cosmetic dentist.<\/strong> Schedule an urgent appointment with your cosmetic dentist as soon as possible so they can protect your exposed tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Collect your detached veneer.<\/strong> Pick up any broken or detached veneers and store them in a clean container to bring to your appointment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Protect your exposed tooth.<\/strong> If you can\u2019t get in to see your dentist right away, you can place dental wax over your tooth as a temporary solution to minimize sensitivity and protect it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Receive treatment.<\/strong> Once you arrive at your dentist\u2019s office, they\u2019ll be able to place a temporary veneer as they send out an impression to craft a new permanent one with. If they\u2019re able to salvage your original veneer, they may be able to restore your smile during your appointment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
