Are you ready to invest in your dream smile<\/a> with veneers? You\u2019re making an excellent investment because they can last for a decade or longer with the right aftercare. In as few as 2 appointments, you can have the results you want to smile confidently. Although you\u2019re excited to get started, you might be a little apprehensive about 1 step in your treatment plan. You\u2019re going to need temporary veneers for a couple of weeks. Here\u2019s what you need to know to safeguard your smile while waiting for your permanent veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some Enamel Will Be Removed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A small amount of your enamel is removed during the preparation process of your treatment. It\u2019s necessary to ensure your veneers bond securely to your teeth and sit flush. Unfortunately, your enamel can\u2019t regenerate after it\u2019s gone, but etching their surfaces doesn\u2019t harm the health of your teeth. While they will be perfectly healthy, your enamel will be thinner than before, which means your underlying dentin and pulp are vulnerable if your teeth aren\u2019t protected by temporary veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Only a Temporary Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although you might not have expected to need temporary restorations, it\u2019s only one small step in your journey to an attractive smile. They will provide your teeth with the protection they need to reduce the risk of tooth sensitivity or decay while waiting for your new smile to be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Feel Different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After receiving your temporary veneers, don\u2019t be alarmed if they feel a bit odd. They will be thicker than your real veneers, which will be customized to meet your exact specifications. Rest assured, your permanent restorations will fit smoothly and look natural despite the results you see with your temporary veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Aren\u2019t as Durable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the veneers won\u2019t be needed long-term, they won\u2019t be as strong as those made of porcelain. It\u2019s not uncommon for a temporary veneer to fall off or crack. You can lessen the risk of an unexpected complication by avoiding foods that are hard, sticky, or chewy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Require Daily Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although both your permanent and temporary veneers aren\u2019t subject to tooth decay, your underlying teeth can still be compromised. It\u2019s important to commit to your oral hygiene routine before and after you receive your veneers. It\u2019s best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching their surfaces. Brush your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes each session. Don\u2019t forget to floss between each tooth daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy a Flawless Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let temporary veneers stand in your way of a stunning smile. In no time at all, they\u2019ll feel natural while you anticipate the placement of your final veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
