Lost Veneer
Lost Veneer? Emergency Dental Care in Edinburgh City Centre
Losing a dental veneer can be distressing and inconvenient, especially when it happens unexpectedly. Veneers not only enhance your smile’s appearance but also protect your teeth from damage. If you’ve lost a veneer, you’ll need prompt care from an experienced emergency dentist to restore both your confidence and dental health.
At Frederick Street Dental Care, located conveniently in the heart of Edinburgh city centre, we offer emergency dental care services every day of the week. Our highly qualified emergency dentists use advanced emergency dental technology to provide immediate solutions for your lost veneer, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life and quickly restoring your confident smile.
Why is Losing a Veneer a Dental Emergency?
Dental veneers, thin porcelain or composite resin shells, are custom-designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, improving their appearance, colour, and shape. When a veneer becomes loose or falls off entirely, it exposes your natural tooth, making it vulnerable to:
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods
- Increased risk of tooth decay or damage
- Unsightly appearance affecting your self-confidence
- Possible damage to underlying tooth structure
- Increased tooth sensitivity or discomfort
Prompt emergency treatment is essential to protect the exposed tooth and prevent further complications. Acting swiftly can help save your tooth from additional damage and restore your smile rapidly.

Common Reasons Veneers Fall Off or Get Lost
A veneer may fall off for several reasons, including:
- Wear and Tear: Over time, veneers can weaken or loosen due to everyday activities like chewing or biting into hard foods.
- Poor Adhesion: A veneer may become dislodged if the bonding material wasn’t properly applied initially.
- Decay and Gum Disease: Underlying tooth decay or gum disease can compromise the tooth structure, causing the veneer to detach.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Regularly grinding or clenching teeth can put excess pressure on veneers, leading to their dislodgement or damage.
- Trauma or Accidents: Veneers may become detached due to accidents, sports injuries, or unexpected trauma to the teeth
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
Immediate Assessment and Diagnosis
On arrival, our Edinburgh emergency dentist will promptly assess the affected area using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to identify any underlying issues that caused the veneer loss.
Personalised Veneer Repair or Replacement Plan
Based on your assessment, we’ll recommend the most suitable treatment option:
- Rebonding: If your veneer is intact and undamaged, we may be able to clean and securely rebond it in place quickly.
- Temporary Veneers: If your veneer is lost or damaged beyond repair, we’ll create a temporary veneer to protect your tooth until a permanent replacement is prepared.
- Permanent Veneer Replacement: We use advanced dental technology to create a custom veneer, carefully matched to your existing teeth, restoring aesthetics and functionality seamlessly.
Pain-Free and Comfortable Procedure
We prioritise your comfort, using local anaesthetic and gentle techniques to ensure a comfortable and stress-free procedure. For anxious patients, sedation options are also available.
