It\u2019s fun to imagine how great your teeth could look in the near future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with great research comes a great many questions. A popular one for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdann.ca\/veneers.html\">dental veneers<\/a> is \u201cwhat are <em>temporary <\/em>veneers for?\u201d Keep reading, and you\u2019ll have your curiosity satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dental Veneer Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer your question, it\u2019s helpful to review what the dental veneer process entails. Remember that you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Discuss your health history and smile goals with your dentist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have your enamel filed down just a little bit to make room for the cosmetics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the dental lab to finish fabricating your custom veneers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Return to your dentist\u2019s office to have this custom set placed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teeth\u2019s enamel layer helps protect them from bacteria, infection, and conditions like cavities and gum disease. As the layer thins, your risk for developing these oral issues increases. Rest assured, your final veneers will replace your enamel as an effective shield, but what about the week or two where you\u2019ll be waiting on the lab technicians?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection for Your Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s essentially what temporary veneers are for. Since they\u2019re not intended to be your permanent set, they\u2019re not as durable, but they will protect your teeth while the lab technicians craft your cosmetics. They\u2019re a crucial part of the process \u2013 which means there are a few things you\u2019ll have to be mindful of in order to avoid a sticky situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What It\u2019s Like to Have Temporary Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your temporary veneers likely won\u2019t fit the way your permanent set will. They tend to be thicker, which can cause some discomfort while eating \u2013 at least until you get used to them. Temporary veneers also don\u2019t have gaps between them; your dentist will likely instruct you to avoid flossing your treated teeth so that you don\u2019t dislodge your dental shields! Hard, sticky, and crunchy foods could also damage the veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry too much if you forget some of these notes. Your dentist will go over your treatment instructions and will gladly help if you ever need to call them for a reminder or for clarification. They\u2019re almost as excited as you are to see your new smile, so never hesitate to contact your professional dental care provider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdann.ca\/meet-dr-dann.html\">Dr. Kevin Dann<\/a> is a proud member of the Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics, which is a professional affiliation that focuses on dental cosmetics like veneers.
