In your busy schedule, you can\u2019t waste a single minute, so when your dentist explains that getting veneers<\/a> takes two appointments, you may feel a little frustrated. Why can\u2019t you get them in one day? Why do you have to wear temporary veneers for a while and come back? Here are a few purposes these short-lived veneers serve and why you need them to achieve your perfect smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Purpose #1: Temporary Veneers Serve as Placeholders While Your Custom Ones Are Fabricated.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you can have custom veneers bonded to your teeth, your dentist needs to make accurate impressions of your prepared teeth. Otherwise, there\u2019s no guarantee that these coverings will fit properly and look natural. Trained lab technicians will use your impressions to make a model of your exact teeth and craft veneers that precisely and comfortably attach to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose #2: Your Prepared Teeth Are Vulnerable to Decay Without Protection.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the difference is slight, your reduced teeth don\u2019t only look a tad strange, but they can pose a threat to your oral health. Why? With less enamel to shield them from bacteria, your teeth are more susceptible to cavities and painful sensations. Temporary veneers block bacteria from getting direct access to your front surfaces, keeping your teeth strong and healthy in the weeks before your smile is whole and perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose #3: Temporaries Give You a Preview into How Your Permanent Veneers Might Look.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Temporary veneers are created and designed to fit various people\u2019s teeth; in contrast, custom ones use your precise impressions to personalize your perfect smile to your unique mouth and aesthetic. Even with this distinction, you have a couple of weeks to see what your new veneers may look like. In other words, you can have a small \u201ctest drive\u201d before your custom veneers are bonded into place. However, if your temporary veneers don\u2019t look quite right, don\u2019t fear. They are just stand-ins for the real thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose #4: Temporary Veneers Prevent Your Teeth from Looking Odd.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once teeth have reduced to make room for veneers, you\u2019ll have to wait, but you don\u2019t want to walk around with an incomplete smile in the meantime. After all, that\u2019s why you wanted veneers in the first place, right? To correct flaws, temporary ones go there to preserve your appearance until your veneers are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you may wish you could jump straight into your completely customized veneers, if you want your smile to look natural and seamless and last a long time, you need to cooperate with your dentist as they prepare the order, patiently wear your temporaries, and take excellent care of your mouth before and afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
