I was punched in the face, and three veneers came out. Can they be put back in? (photos)

Question

The damage from the punch isn't too bad, the dentin under the veneers isn't damaged at all and the veneers came off cleanly. They didn't break into pieces. Is this reparable, and if so, how costly and difficult would it be?

Joseph F. DelPrete, DMD · Answer

If they are intact, then yes they can be rebonded.  Go to a dentist and have him/her evaluate if the are in one piece

Nirav Patel, MDS, PhD · Answer

thank god, veneers are not broken, r in one piece. you need to re-cement as soon as possible. u have to pay for re-cementation.

Wendy S. Spektor, DDS · Answer

Go see a Cosmetic Dentist soon-  The costs will be less than if you wait! When you go in, ask how much it will cost to have them re-cemented at least for the time being.  A good dentist will know how to put you back together and evaluate them.  Good luck-Get a Essix Bite Protector and wear it to keep them from breaking, especially if your are boxing-:)
