It is advised that you visit a dentist right away in order to protect the integrity of your tooth, which will become visible in the event that the veneer falls off.
Because there has been a small amount of enamel removed, your tooth may feel sensitive. Having said that, not all broken veneers are emergencies since the underlying tooth is not in grave or immediate danger.
However, we recognise that a broken veneer needs to be fixed quickly and effectively for aesthetic reasons so you can carry on with your daily activities.
We especially suggest visiting the dentist if:
- The veneer has chipped, cracked, crazed, or broken in most places.
- Part of the veneer has cracked and broken off.
- The veneer has come off (completely de-bonded).
COMMON CAUSES OF BROKEN VENEERS
- Repercussions of inadequate placement or design.
- You’ve bitten into hard foods with too much force, causing your teeth to grind.
- Trauma or an abrupt blow to the face.
- Due to dental decay present beneath the veneer.
- Veneers need to be replaced because they are getting old.
HOW BROKEN VENEERS ARE TREATED
In many cases, veneers cannot be repaired. Therefore, if polishing or re-cementing a fractured veneer is not an option, the damaged veneer needs to be replaced.
Temporary solutions can involve composite bonding or temporary placements while your new veneer is being made—a process that can take as little as 24 hours.
STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A BROKEN VENEER
-
first, be sure to carefully take out any remaining veneer from your mouth. then, store the pieces somewhere safe, like in tissue wraps. we might be able to reattach the veneer if it is still intact.
-
examine the sharpness of your teeth; if it is irritating your tongue, cheeks, or gums, make sure to get them in sooner. you can also buy dental wax to temporarily relieve the irritation.
-
limit the amount of biting pressure, chewing, and exposure of your teeth during the time it takes to get to your appointment.
-
limit your exposure to hot or cold liquids or air after the enamel has been removed as this may cause sensitivity.
