Do you have issues with your smile that need to be corrected? If so, veneers may be the fix you\u2019ve been looking for. Made from dental-grade porcelain, these thin shells cover up the entire front surface of one\u2019s pearly whties and can correct cracks, chips, discoloration, misshapen teeth, and gaps. Before you have your permanent veneers placed, your dentist will give you temporary ones. But why do you need them? Read on to learn why temporary veneers<\/a> are necessary before you have your permanent ones placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Temporary Veneers Are Placed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During your initial appointment with your dentist, they will clean your teeth and prepare them by removing a small amount of enamel. This allows your veneers to sit flush on your teeth. Temporary veneers are placed on the prepared teeth while you wait for your permanent ones, which will usually be ready in around two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your temporary veneers can be made from a range of materials, including resin, dental wax, and acrylic composite. They may not match the color of your teeth exactly and won\u2019t be as durable as permanent ones. Additionally, your dentist will only use enough dental cement to keep them adhered to your teeth for a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You Need Temporary Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering: why do you need to get temporary veneers? There are several ways that they benefit patients. For one, temporary veneers protect your teeth from experiencing pain or sensitivity from cold, hot, acidic, and sweet foods and drinks while you wait to have your permanent ones placed. Additionally, your teeth will likely look strange after your dentist finishes preparing them. Temporary veneers make them look normal. They will also give you a sneak peek of what your permanent ones will look like so you can ask your dentist to make adjustments if necessary before your permanent ones are placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
