What are temporary veneers? Temporary veneers are the easiest and fastest way to improve your smile in a short amount of time. These thin, plastic shells fit over your natural teeth and look just like real veneers, but they can be easily removed at any time and don’t have any major or long-lasting effects on your oral health or bite. Using these in the meantime will give you the confidence boost you need while your permanent veneers are being made by our expert team of cosmetic dentists!
What are temporary veneers made of?
Porcelain temporary veneers are made from porcelain and then fired, just like porcelain crowns. But instead of a metal framework to hold them in place, they have a thin strip of plastic embedded in them. This strip is what actually attaches to your tooth; you won’t see it because it’s on the inside of your mouth. The framework is meant to protect your gums while you wear them and is discarded once they’re attached to your teeth. Like other dental work, temporary veneers are removable but not reusable; once you get real veneers or crowns, you can’t reuse these premade ones for any other application.
Some people choose temporary veneers as an alternative if they aren’t sure about a long-term solution or need time to save up money for a full-time option. A few dentists will give their patients an initial round of temp veneers and then convert to permanent ones if they come out well during wear tests. Others do straight conversions so there’s no risk that their customer ends up disappointed with short-term results. People who use temporary veneers tell us that one of the best things about them is how comfortable they are while worn and how easy it is to move them around until you find exactly where they feel right before getting them permanently cemented in place.
Temporary veneers can help reduce teeth grinding
Have you ever worn temporary veneers before? If not, you’re missing out on an easy way to reduce or stop teeth grinding. The most popular use of temporary veneers is as a last resort for orthodontic patients whose teeth are a mess. A common misconception is that doctors can just pull your natural teeth and slap on some veneers right away. Unfortunately, there’s no quick fix like that and it doesn’t work like in Hollywood movies. Instead, people will get fitted with temporary veneers which act as a placeholder for actual permanent veneers—and here’s where things get interesting!
For example, if you grind your teeth at night, these won’t be noticeable during dental procedures. In other words, temporary veneers can help doctors create a better smile that looks great 24/7. How cool is that? And even better: Anyone who has had temporary veneers has commented on how comfortable they are compared to metal braces or uncomfortable metal retainers. They may only be made from plastic but they do wonders!
They can improve your smile
While temporary veneers don’t solve any dental problems, they can improve your smile by filling in gaps between teeth, giving you a longer-looking smile. These spacers are especially helpful for people who want to wear their veneers longer than two weeks. Wearing traditional veneers for an extended period of time isn’t recommended because your mouth may acclimate to them, causing you to clench or grind your teeth — and that could damage your natural teeth and gums over time. The gap fillings of temporary veneers can give you a better idea of how long-term veneer wear will affect your everyday life.
For example, if you need space fills but aren’t comfortable with gum recession from wearing normal veneers, you can try wearing temporary fixes while they slowly disappear. This won’t cause permanent tooth structure loss since the material is directly bonded to your teeth without altering existing tooth structure. Another option is wearing translucent intraoral films (TIFs) instead of traditional veneers so only light passes through them; it’s also why many orthodontists prefer TIFs over other types of fixed aligners such as Invisalign.
Even celebrities use them!
Did you know that Angelina Jolie has temporary veneers? She had them made while shooting a movie in 2010. Yes, even celebrities can use temporary veneers to protect their teeth when they’re on set! With so many famous people opting for temporary veneers, you may be wondering if they are right for you. Well, we asked some local celebrity dentists to weigh in on just why they believe these adhesives have become so popular with Hollywood celebrities.
Their tips might help persuade you as well!
As stated above by Dr. [ ] of Dentistry Today, more and more celebrities (and people like us) are embracing custom-made fixed appliances for one simple reason: beauty. These trendy little stars probably want to look great when they step out on award night or hit up club appearances during major music festivals. They also likely want to make sure their face still looks fresh whenever they need to do a magazine photo shoot or run an errand around town without paparazzi catching sight of them and snapping photos left and right.
Temporary veneers have few side effects
temporary veneers typically have little to no side effects; if you do experience a reaction, it should be mild and may include discomfort or sensitivity in your mouth for a few hours. This is normal and typically will dissipate quickly. Temporary veneers are removable: once you’ve had them put on, you can go about your day without worrying about whether they’ll stay in place—they won’t get lost! For those who fear committing to permanent dentures or having more dental work done, temporary veneers may seem like an ideal alternative. Because they aren’t permanent, patients who fear their dentist telling them they need more work done can visit their dentist knowing that they won’t be told that they need anything done at all!
As well, these types of veneers provide flexibility when wearing false teeth. They’re convenient and easy to maintain: even though temporary veneers look real and feel real when you put them on (with some brands being almost indistinguishable from natural teeth), they don’t require much maintenance. All you need to do is take good care of your real teeth while wearing yours so that there isn’t any damage done while they’re inside your mouth; after a year, simply throw yours away and order new ones!
How long do they last?
One of the main advantages of temporary veneers is that they’re relatively easy to replace. This makes them a great choice for anyone who’s not ready to commit to a life-long, permanent dental solution but is in dire need of cosmetic dentistry services. In fact, most temporary veneer users are surprised by how long they last; you can expect at least six months of clear-tooth beauty with no need for replacement. If you want more time, simply make an appointment with your dentist and have him or her check up on your current set every four months. That way, he or she can inspect them and let you know when it’s time for new ones.
Can you eat with them on?
The main purpose of temporary veneers is to protect your teeth from damage while you wait for permanent veneers to be made and fitted. While many people are aware that you can’t eat on them, what most don’t realize is that eating is only one reason why they should avoid eating on them. Another major reason to avoid eating with temporary veneers on is because they can fall off if not worn correctly and can get stuck in between your teeth while chewing or drinking. Although they are just thin pieces of plastic, it takes very little force for a tooth-colored porcelain cover to come loose from its plastic base. When that happens, they could get lodged under your gum line and cause a great deal of pain until removed by your dentist.
Are they permanent?
Temporary veneers are very different from traditional dentures and can be removed without causing harm to your mouth. Unlike regular dentures, they don’t irritate or move around in your mouth when you speak or eat. And because they are bonded onto a thin layer of your own tooth enamel, they are also very durable. So durable that you won’t have to worry about them breaking or cracking during normal use. The main benefit of temporary veneers is their convenience: They last for one to two years before needing replacement, at which point you go back to your dentist for another set.
Where can I get temporary veneers put on my teeth
Finding out where you can get temporary veneers put on your teeth is an important aspect of any dental procedure. As you’re looking for a place to have these done, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all of your options. However, most local offices will be able to do them without much hassle and won’t cost too much either. When considering getting these done, it might be helpful to talk with others who have tried them as well before deciding what’s best for you. While some people may find that they like having them done for cosmetic reasons, others might just want them because their teeth aren’t in great shape or suffer from a case of tooth decay or something similar.
