Porcelain veneers are a durable and beautiful way to enhance your smile, but like any dental restoration, they aren’t indestructible. While it’s not common, a veneer can occasionally loosen or fall off due to trauma, biting hard foods, grinding, or weakened bonding. If this happens, don’t panic. Acting quickly and carefully can protect your tooth and help your dentist restore your smile.

Here’s what to do if your veneer falls off.

Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of your smile by correcting issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to create a natural, attractive look. Many patients wonder if getting veneers will require them to change their diet. While veneers are durable and designed to function like natural teeth, a few dietary adjustments can help protect them and extend their lifespan.
