Continue reading to get the full scoop from a local cosmetic dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Purpose of Temporary Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you have a set of porcelain veneers placed, your teeth must be prepped, which involves the removal of a thin layer of enamel. This ensures that the veneers will fit seamlessly into your smile line. Because the enamel plays an integral role in protecting your teeth from the dynamic environment inside your mouth, when a portion of it is removed, your teeth are more susceptible to damage and decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, your dentist will place temporary veneers to protect against an injury or decay that could derail your smile plans. As an added bonus, the temporary veneers will allow you to get an idea of how you\u2019ll look with your permanent smile and to have any necessary adjustments made before your treatment is finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, you typically won\u2019t have to wear the temporary fixtures for longer than a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect When Wearing Temporary Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may experience the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Changes in your dental hygiene regimen <\/strong>\u2013 Usually, there aren\u2019t any gaps between temporary veneers, so you likely won\u2019t be able to floss until the permanent veneers are in place.<\/li><li><strong>Difficulties when chewing <\/strong>\u2013 Because temporary veneers tend to be a little thicker than permanent veneers, there may be difficulty chewing, and in some cases, slight discomfort.<\/li><li><strong>Diet limitations <\/strong>\u2013 You\u2019ll need to avoid eating hard, sticky, chewy or crunchy foods, as they could cause the temporary veneers to dislodge.<\/li><li><strong>Sensitivity to extreme temperatures <\/strong>\u2013 Because your teeth will be partially exposed from having a portion of the enamel removed, you may experience some discomfort when eating or drinking hot or cold foods or beverages. Thus, it\u2019s best to abstain until your permanent veneers are in place.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The minor changes that you\u2019ll have to make will only require a few weeks of your time. Then, your dentist will invite you back to the office to have your permanent veneers bonded into position. When you look into the mirror and see your brand-new smile staring back, you\u2019ll know that it was all worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. David Tillman earned his dental degree from the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston.
