If you've recently had your veneers applied, then you know that they can add significant beauty and appeal to your smile. However, if your veneers are shifting, it can be a cause for concern, and it is essential to know what to do in this situation. If you're experiencing shifts with your veneers, there are solutions available. In this blog post, we'll provide valuable tips on what to do if your veneers are shifting.
Veneers are a popular dental restoration solution for many people. These thin shells are made of tooth-colored material, such as composite resin or porcelain, and are attached to the front of your teeth’ surface. Veneers can wear off over and shift gradually.
If you suspect that your veneers are starting to shift out of place, don’t worry! There are several things you can do to address this problem. They include:
The first thing you should do is make an appointment with a dentist near you. They will be able to assess the situation correctly, give some advice and work with you to determine a suitable solution for both of you. This could include making additional veneer adjustments to replace them.
If your dentist suggests it, dental bonding could be an option to help re-secure your veneers and make sure they stay in place. This is a procedure where a biocompatible material is applied over the veneer and hardened using a special light. The resulting bonded material helps keep the veneer secure.
It is essential to take extra care of your veneers. Ensure you brush them twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Otherwise, they may become loose over time due to excessive wear and tear.
Avoid habits like chewing on ice or hard candy. These habits won't do you any favors when keeping your veneers in place! Consider wearing a mouth gu if you play sports or grind your teeth at night guard. This will help protect your veneers from impact.
