What happens if a veneer pops off or chips?
Porcelain is incredibly strong, but it can still chip or fracture under the right pressure. If you have a veneer emergency, here is what you need to do.
If the veneer falls off in one piece, save it in a secure container. Your dentist can often clean it and bond it right back onto your tooth. Do not use household glue to fix it yourself, as this can permanently ruin the tooth.
If it chips, porcelain cannot be easily patched chairside like a natural tooth. A noticeable fracture usually means the individual veneer will need a full replacement.
Call us immediately, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth, and stick to soft foods until your appointment.
