Many people choose them because with just one treatment, they can cover a wide range of dental flaws. However, before you can sport your final results, there will be a bit of a buffer where you wear temporary shells. This may seem like it\u2019s getting in the way of your aesthetic grin, but here\u2019s why they are an important part of your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Off, What Are Temporary Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason you need temporary veneers is because of the process involved in getting this cosmetic service. It&#8217;s split between two appointments, the first being preparing your teeth. Your dentist will remove a thin layer of your enamel and then take a dental impression. This will help your results sit flush as it&#8217;s sent to a dental lab. A skilled technician will use it while they craft your final shells out of porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say you can&#8217;t rush perfection, and this process is no different! It takes about two weeks until this set is sculpted to fit your smile, both in shape and color. As this happens, you&#8217;ll be wearing the short-lived veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are made from acrylic or resin in pre-selected sizes and shapes. Most patients say they feel a bit bulky, but they are a great chance to try out your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Temporary Veneers a Necessary Step?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, you may wonder what&#8217;ll happen if you don&#8217;t get temporary veneers. In short, a whole lot! Since your teeth were prepared, your enamel is a bit thinner than before. Bacteria can more easily erode it and cause cavities or other problems. Instead, these shells help protect your teeth until your final set is ready. They act as a barrier, so plaque can\u2019t easily reach your natural dental structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are also getting this treatment to get the perfect smile you love. However, prepared teeth often look a bit odd. Instead of feeling self-conscious about them during the next couple of weeks between your appointments, temporary veneers help give you an aesthetic smile. Since they look like your results, you can even talk to your dentist about any concerns you have about the shape and size. That way, adjustments can be made if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may not have known the importance of temporary veneers, keep the things above in mind. They are a vital step in your journey to a grin that you feel your best in. Don&#8217;t think of them as getting in the way, but helping you enjoy the process to the results you adore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpsmilecenter.com\/about-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Dan Passidomo<\/a> earned his dental degree from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry.
