Are There Any Dental Putties That Are Safe on Veneers? For Halloween Fangs Etc?

Question

I have a porcelain veneer on my lateral incisor, and I've got fake fangs for a costume. The putty that came with them advised that it not be used on veneers, however I can't close my mouth if I put said fangs on my canines. Are there any mild adhesives (only for use for a few hours) that won't cause damage but will stay in place? Or would thermo fit be better?

Madeleinne Zapantis, DMD · Answer

I would stay away from any adhesives on that veneered tooth.  It's unlikely that all adhesives will damage the surface texture of the veneer, but why risk it?  The thermo fit (I'm assuming a vacuum formed) will work nicely with no risk to your veneer.  The smooth texture of veneers are vulnerable to abrasives, acids and some adhesives, some of which can also stain the veneer.  For this reason it is best to stay away from it.  Have a fun and safe Halloween!
