I had my front four upper teeth procedure 5 days ago and I am currently wearing the temps. I realize that the temps are basically one large piece of plastic which will have limitations but (1) The inside back of the Temps seem rough and don't meet my gum line. Will the Perm even have a 'back' to them or will they cover mainly the front of the tooth? Will the thickness and shape be the exact sames. I really like the look but it often feels like when you were a kid and placed chewing gum over your teeth.

Answer: Veneer Temps Your veneers will probably have a back to them. This "wraparound" is often times important for esthetics and stability. We typically try to make the temps look similar to the final outcome to act as a prototype for the permanent veneers. I'm sure you'll be happy when your case is complete!

Answer: Temporary Veneers The look, feel, and fit of temporary veneers can vary greatly from dentist to dentist. You're correct that the temporary veneers are resin (like plastic) and they are almost always splinted together which can give a bulky feel. The margin (where the veneer and tooth meet) is often open with temporary veneers because the fit is not exact. Some veneers cover some of the back of the tooth. Usually the permanent veneers are smooth, polished, and life-like so don't be too concerned about how the temps feel. Make sure you like the feel of the final veneers before final cementation.
