My Front Porcelain Veneer Chipped in Half, I Have the Broken Piece, Can It Be Glued Back?

While the piece of the veneer CAN be bonded back in place, it likely won't last long and will eventually stain.  For a short term solution, that may work, but in the long run you will want to get it replaced.

A porcelain veneer that breaks in half can be repaired, especially if you have the broken piece. Matching the shade of the luting cement (glue) can also be done. However, you should be aware that staining along the fracture line often creates a problem ahead and you should consider remaking the veneer for a better long lasting finish.

However, I would no guarrantee how long it will last. I have done a few of these and some have lasted 2-3 years, at which time the veneer had to be re-done. Others are still going strong after 3 yrs. If you want to avoid another breakage (usually happens on a friday night or when you are on a trip) then consider having it re-done.

The piece must be intact and fit perfectly back in. Also it must be re-bonded following all the original steps.

I'm in Miami Beach and charge around $275 to re-bond a veneer. (whole or piece since it the same amount of work).

Good luck
