I am going to get some porcelain veneers. But first, I get impressions & temporaries. What are they like?

I am originally scheduled to get impressions and temp teeth on Dec. 3 and then permanent teeth on Dec. 19. Because money is tight, I am thinking of keeping the temp teeth untill January. I am afraid that if I schedule the permanent teeth in January, the temp teeth might be ugly. Then I would be stuck with them until January. Have you ever had temporary teeth? What were they like?

You need to call your doc's office and explain your financial situation so this can be worked out ahead of time. Temporary veneers, while satisfactory looking, are not held on the teeth very well and tend to dislodge. You do not want to have them on over an extended time period like you want.
Reply:The atheistic look of the temporaries depend on the artistic work your Dentist or you Dental Asst. can provide. A Cosmetic Dentist that specializes in this field will do a very good job. Now temporaries are not cemented on perm. there placed on the prepped teeth with temp. cement so this may be a problem with keeping them on as long as your are wanting to. I myself had two upper central and 6 lower anterior veneers and the Dentist I worked for (now retired) did a magnificent job. It was the best thing I ever did. Trust in your Dentist I'm sure he will show you some of his work to reassure you.
Reply:About impressons,





they'll put this plastic gunk stuff on a tray and stick them on your teeth to take molds.


It'll feel kinda weird and it hardens into rubber to take the shape of your teeth.





Or they will just put the gunk in your mouth without the trays.





Most likely, they will make a mess on your face just like they did to me but its all good!





Good luck!
