Every day when you look in the mirror, you see a set of glistening, perfectly aligned, perfectly uniform teeth gleaming back at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, veneers do have a flaw\u2014if you aren\u2019t careful, they can break or fall off. If that happens to you, you might not know what to do. Here\u2019s a guide to the actions you should take if you lose a veneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do I Do If My Veneers Fall Off?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your veneer falls off, the first thing you should do is to make sure you aren\u2019t injured. If you are, you should rinse out your mouth to clean it. Be careful not to bite down on your veneer, or to swallow it. Then, if there\u2019s any bleeding, you should apply pressure to the area until it stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to secure the veneer and put it in a safe place. Even if the veneer is broken, it\u2019s better to save it in case your dentist can repair it. Finally, you should call your dentist as soon as possible. They\u2019ll schedule you for an emergency appointment and try and see you as quickly as they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s after normal office hours, you should see if your dentist has an emergency after-hours number\u2014they\u2019ll usually leave this on their front desk\u2019s voicemail. If there isn\u2019t one, just leave a detailed message with the front desk. They\u2019ll give you a call back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can Be Done if I Lose My Veneer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What will be done for a lost veneer depends on a few factors. If the veneer itself is intact and your tooth is in good condition, your dentist may be able to simply put it back where it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, veneers are expected to last around twenty years. After that point, wear and tear may have caused the veneer to weaken too significantly for it to be put back on. In that case, it could certainly be possible that the veneer itself will have to be replaced. This is also the case if your veneer has broken, or if your tooth has decayed significantly since the veneer was originally placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Dentex Dental of Philadelphia, we want to take the guesswork out of going to the dentist.
