Veneers, Temporary Restorations in General Dentistry

You have just had some teeth prepared for ceramic veneers. The teeth have received
plastic temporary restorations to cover the prepared tooth structure while the new
veneers are made. The following information will help you to understand the
procedure:
1. Temporary veneers do not resemble the final restorations.
2. Temporary veneers are attached only slightly to the underlying teeth so they can be removed easily. Be careful to chew only on your teeth without temporary veneers on them.
3. If a temporary veneer comes off, call us and we will replace it immediately. If you are in a situation that will not allow you to come in, go to a pharmacy and buy some FIXODENT (denture adhesive) and place the veneer back in place. You must still see us as soon as possible.
4. Prepared teeth may be sensitive to hot, cold, and sweets. When the final restorations are placed, the teeth will not have these sensations.
5. Your gums will be slightly irritated for a few days. Avoid heavy brushing of the temporary veneers. Do not use floss between the temporary veneers because you may pull them off.
6. Your final ceramic veneers will be as close to the beauty and function of natural teeth as possible. We will have them for you in a few days.
