However, you don\u2019t simply waltz into the dentist\u2019s office and immediately receive your veneers; patients are typically given a temporary set of veneers to wear for about a week or two prior to their permanent ones being placed. Here\u2019s what you need to know about this step of the process and why these temporary veneers are crucial towards improving your smile.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>They Protect Your Prepared Teeth<\/h2>\n<p>In order for your veneers to sit correctly against your teeth, a small amount of your enamel must be conservatively removed.\u00a0 Since your teeth are being modified in this way to accommodate your veneers, they will need to be protected until your permanent veneers are ready. Temporary veneers ensure that your natural teeth remain safe and sound in the meantime!<\/p>\n<h2>They Serve as A \u201cTest Drive\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Similar to buying a new car, your temporary veneers serve as a trial run for your permanent ones. Your dentist will take a mold of your teeth to use in the creation of your veneers and then fit temporary ones to your teeth. These serve a very important purpose\u2014they allow you to experience how the veneers feel before they\u2019re placed, giving you and your dentist the opportunity to make adjustments as needed. If something needs to be made smaller, larger, whiter, or shaped differently, it can be handled beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Since your veneers will influence everything from how you bite to the way you speak, it\u2019s important that everything is perfectly and precisely calculated before your permanent veneers are fitted. Since veneers are intended to last up to 20 years, ensuring the proper groundwork is laid out for them is wise\u2014temporary veneers encourage this.<\/p>\n<h2>They Preview Your Future Smile<\/h2>\n<p>Since veneers are such a big and life-changing investment, your dentist wants you to be certain that you\u2019re happy with your decision. During the brief period you\u2019re wearing your temporary veneers, you\u2019ll get to experience your future smile\u2019s look and feel\u2014in addition to showing it off to the world! This also aids you in determining if any adjustments need to be made to your permanent veneers.<\/p>\n<p>Veneers are meant to make your smile beautiful, and the temporary ones you\u2019ll receive before your permanent ones play an important role.
