Is there a temporary fix to treat my front tooth that lost a porcelain veneer?

August 15, 2018
Asked By:sureina in San Francisco, CA

My laminate (porcelain veneer on the 3rd front to the right, been 4 years) fell off and lost. It doesn't really hurt but mildly aches when contacting cold foods or wind. My dentist is outside of USA so I wanna get a temporary treatment before visiting him after 6 months due to current financial situation. I looked up TempTooth, InstaMorph and Zinc Oxide Eugenol Cement but not sure about them. Is it best to get bonding by a dentist? How long can it last? Does it stay well even when eating?

Veneers done well will last 15 years plus. They appeared in the literature in the early 80's and so have not been around for 50 years yet. I have been placing them since 1988 and I have some that are still in place at 30 years. The only change is the esthetics but functionally they are...
