composite veneers or porcleain veneers on bottom teeth?

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Q.
I had some porcelain veneers done 4yrs ago on my top front teeth, which still look like new now. I went to see my new dentist at same practice to enquire about porcelain veneers for bottom teeth, but was informed that I wouldn’t be able to have them so was told I would have to have composite veneers. I had them done just prior to xmas 2007 and already the composite on 2 are badly worn. I was informed procedure would take approx 30mins per tooth, yet I had 6 done in 90mins! I would appreciate your views and advice on this matter. Have I been misinformed? If so, is there anything I can do about it?

Can dental bonding be redone for gaps and chipped tooth

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Q.
I had a small space between my 2 front teeth and a little chip on my front tooth, but had those recently fixed with bonding. I was told it lasts generally 7-10 years because of staining/breakage. I was wondering though if only partial staining occurs or if the chipped part of the tooth returns, is the whole bonding procedure redone? If so, how does a dentist know where the original bonding was? (so that they don\’t cut into the actual tooth or miss taking off some of the bonding) I would appreciate information about this, thanks.

A.

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Q.
I’ve had a broken front tooth that has recently had to be re-filled. The first repair lasted about 18 years. 18 months ago I had to have it re-done and just recently it was done again but lasted under a week. I have been back today for it to be done again. I would like something more permanent and wonder what you would suggest is my best option. I look forward to hearing from you.
