How to Bond a Falling Tooth Veneer?
Falling Tooth Veneer
Dental veneers are one of the treatment methods used in oral and dental health. Various problems that occur in the teeth can be easily eliminated by making veneers, but falls may occur depending on the use.

A tooth crown that has fallen off is not a situation that you can glue on your own at home. It may be best to seek the help of a specialist dentist.

When the cleaning process is finished, you need to place the dental veneer, on which you apply temporary adhesive, firmly on the tooth. After placing the veneer in place, you can ensure that it is fixed by pressing with your teeth. You should remember that this method is temporary and the veneer should be bonded correctly by a dentist.
What is Tooth Veneer?
A dental crown is a thin layer placed over the teeth. They are usually made of porcelain or composite resin materials. Dental veneers are used to correct problems with the shape, size, colour or functionality of the teeth. This procedure, which can be applied by dentists, is part of aesthetic dentistry applications.
Veneers are specially designed by the dentist for the patient and the tooth. This long-lasting treatment method is generally preferred for permanent solutions. The application process consists of several stages. After the preparation of the tooth, the treatment ends with the placement of temporary and permanent veneers on the teeth. Dental veneers can be preferred by many people who want to achieve an aesthetic smile or solve dental problems.
Causes of Tooth Veneer Falling off
Dental veneers are used in dental treatment. It can be preferred for both aesthetic and treatment purposes. The reasons that cause the veneer to fall off may be the following:
- Inadequate Bonding: Dental veneers bonded with the help of special adhesives applied to the tooth surface may fall off if the adhesive is not strong. If a good connection is not provided during application, the veneer may fall off over time.
- Poor Veneer Application: When the veneer application is not performed properly by the dentist, the risk of the veneer falling increases. In cases such as problems that may occur in the preparation of the tooth to be veneered and the dental veneer impression is not taken well, the veneer may not settle exactly in place. This may cause the veneer to fall off.
- Tooth Damage: Decay, fracture or other damage to the tooth to be veneered may prevent the veneer from fitting properly and cause it to fall off.
- Eating and Chewing Habits: Frequent consumption of excessively hard and sticky foods can cause the dental veneer to strain and fall off.
- Teeth Clenching and Grinding (Buriksizm): The problem of clenching or grinding teeth at night can cause the crown to fall off.
- Age of the Veneer: When the dental veneer is used for a long time, yellowing may occur. Over time, veneers whose holding power decreases may fall off.
- Accidents and Impacts: As a result of impacts and accidents to the mouth area, the dental veneer may be damaged and fall off.

When the coating, which provides protection against tooth decay and other damages, falls off, the teeth may become open to decay and infections.

Factors Causing Damage to Dental Veneers

Disorders such as bruxism, ie tooth grinding disease, can cause damage to your veneers. People who prefer dental veneers should also evaluate their eating and drinking habits.
