Don't try to fix it: Veneers are fragile and any attempt to recement can crack the veneer.

Why wait?: No, there is nothing you can use at home that will successfully stick a veneer back on. Why are you waiting a couple of weeks? Give your dentist a call, they can probably get you in within a day of two. The longer you wait the higher the probability that the veneer will have to be remade, not just put back on.

See dentist sooner: There is a reason your veneer came off. Putting it back on will not address that reason. If you see your dentist asap, then at least you may be able to get a temporary until you can restore the tooth.

Don't try: Bad idea. You will ruin the site and /or veneer if you try. You will then need a new one. Get to the dentist ASAP or you will regret it. Make time to take care of this for yourself. Good Luck.

Fixodent plus: You can buy Fixodent OTC in any pharmacy. However, this solution would only be for temporary cosmetic reasons and not functional reasons. You would need to avoid using your front tooth to chew or bite foods. Good luck.
