Veneers<\/a> can give you the smile of your dreams, the kind of smile you\u2019re used to only seeing on red carpets. Even better, a good cosmetic dentist can give you those veneers in as little as two appointments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between those two sessions, your dentist will almost certainly have you wear temporary veneers. If you want to know more about why you may need temporary veneers, and what they can do for you, here\u2019s a guide that has everything you\u2019d want to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are Temporary Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are layered over the tooth, and to have them blend in with the rest of your smile, your dentist will have to remove a small amount of your enamel to make room for them. Your dentist will probably remove this enamel at your first appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you won\u2019t be able to get your veneers until weeks later, so your dentist will furnish you with an acrylic set of temporary veneers that can protect your teeth until then. These temporaries will be modeled after the same specifications that were sent to the lab, so they should be a nice trial run for the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are Temporary Veneers Useful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Temporaries do much more than simply protect your teeth for a few weeks. They also give you an opportunity to test out the designs that you and your dentist have made, and to make adjustments before you get the final set. In that way, they\u2019re an important part of the process of designing your cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it Like to Have Temporary Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your temporary veneers are made of a wildly different material than your final set will be, and aren\u2019t crafted as meticulously. You\u2019ll probably feel that when you get them\u2014they won\u2019t be shoddy or uncomfortable, but they will make your teeth feel thicker than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re also secured to your natural teeth with a much weaker cement than your permanent set will be, making them a little fragile. Most dentists will recommend that you switch to a soft food diet while you have your temporaries to prevent them from falling off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The period of wearing these temporaries may last for a few weeks, but your permanent set could last for decades. Thinking about it that way, you\u2019ll be through with this part of the treatment in absolutely no time at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
