What can my dentist do for a veneer that is loose but hasn’t come off yet?

Question

The top of the veneer on my front left tooth seems to be detached and I’m not sure what to expect from my dentist. Can they reseal the top part? If the veneer isn’t broken, can it be removed and replaced on the tooth?

Kerem Turgut Atasoy, DDS, PhD · Answer

If the restoration is separated from the tooth, it may be possible to reuse it, but not if it is broken. If it is possible to remove and reapply the restoration without damage, this is the ideal scenario. Otherwise, the restoration may need to be redone.

Juan (Sebastian) Munoz, DDS · Answer

If a veneer isn’t properly bonded, it’ll have to be replaced. An improper seal will allow bacteria and fluids to get under the veneer and cause failure. A picture would be helpful.
