For Emergency Treatments

Broken Veneer

After finding your ideal smile with veneers, the last thing you want is to be dealing with is a broken veneer. Unfortunately, veneers can become broken or damaged or even come loose and break off. If this should happen, then our emergency care team at Square Mile Dental Centre will be able to care for you in your hour of need. If possible, youโ€™re advised to keep hold of the broken veneer and bring it into the practice with you.

In some cases, weโ€™ll be able to repair the veneer with composite bonding, but this will depend on the extent of the damage as well as the age of the veneer, any wear that is present, and the veneer type. Not all veneers can be saved in this way however, and we may well have to make and apply a brand-new veneer for you. If this is the case, we will fit you for a temporary veneer while your new veneer is being made by our dental laboratory partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you be able to reattach my veneer?

If the veneer in question has simply become debonded from the tooth, then we may well be able to reattach it for you. If there is any damage present however, then we will have to take further action. This could involve using composite bonding to mend a small chip or fracture, or may involve replacement of the veneer itself.

Will it hurt?

Losing a veneer can cause some pain or discomfort in the patient, but weโ€™ll do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and pain-free during your emergency appointment with us.

What causes veneer loss?

Veneers are highly durable these days, but they do not last forever. Your veneer may have become damaged due to simple wear and tear, or poor care may have had an impact on the veneer, leading to it becoming damaged or worn down. Alternatively, accidents and especially injuries to the face or jaw area might result in a broken or lost veneer.

What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?

Depending on the damage present, you may have to return to the practice for follow-up appointments in order to have a new veneer applied.
