Why are my veneers becoming so discolored when they have only recently been fitted?

Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Q.

Hi,

I have 8 porcelain veneers which i have had for around 7 months now. They cost ALOT of money as I’m sure u know, however over the past 3 months i have noticed them to start and discolor slightly…. they are nearly the same colour as my teeth previously (which weren’t to bad just not bright white) obviously i am upset about this as i haven’t had them on even a year yet!! just half a year! i went to my local dentist last week (this wasn’t where i got my veneers done) and asked him why he thought they were discoloring so soon and he said there may have been a slight problem when bonding, therefore liquids are getting behind my veneers and leaking through :s? does this sound possible? he said i may need them replacing as they will get worse!! do you think my cosmetic dentist will re-charge me so soon after having them done when it is no fault of my own??

Thank you for taking time to read this.

What procedures are available to repair or cover filled teeth or replace them?

Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Q.

Hi there,

I am 26 years of age and I have thought about getting porcelain veneers for my 8 smile teeth. I also have quite weak teeth and most are heavily filled. I am getting fed up having to have my teeth re-filled on a seemingly continual basis. I wanted some advice on what procedures are available to repair or cover filled teeth or replace them. I understand that I will loose the sensation in my teeth if I under go cosmetic work on them but that really doesn’t concern me. Thanks very much for any advice that you can give me. An Idea of costs involved for the various procedures available would also greatly help.

Is it normal to have no sensation in my teeth and bruised nostrils following preparation for veneers?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

Hi

I’m having veneers done. I had 6 of my top front teeth prepared last week and I now have temporarys in my mouth.

I feel like they are still numb. Its concerning me a lot. I tap on them and can’t feel a thing. If I tap on my other teeth I can feel the sensation. I also feel no sensitivity whatsoever in my prepped teeth.

It’s literally like when you’d wear a gum shield and tap on your teeth through them. That’s the sensation I have.

Is this normal? and will I get the feeling back?

Also, when I flare my nostrils they feel bruised.

A.
You could have some bruising f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
