Can Lumineers be Placed Over Existing Veneers?
Q.
Good morning. I currently have six porcelain veneers which were fitted 25 years ago. They need replacing but because my gums have receded considerably, I have a very sensitive mouth and gums. I would like Lumineers without the pain of drilling my current veneers off and preparing the teeth. Can Lumineers be fitted over current veneers or do they have to be removed?

I’m very phobic of dentists and would really like to be given a general anaesthetic for all my dental work, is this possible?

Hi, thank you for your question. Placing Lumineers over the top of your existing veneers is not likely to be an option but even if it was, your teeth would end up looking far too big and bulky. Your existing veneers can be removed very carefully and this will bring you the best results as long as you choose someone experienced or with established skills and qualifications.
