Is it a safe procedure to have veneers and crowns replace? and how many times can it be replaced

Q. Hi, Could you advise please, if it is a safe procedure to have veneers and crowns replaced? How many times can veneers usually be replaced before the health of the teeth/nerves is put at risk? Thank you Dr.

A. Veneers / Crown do need to be replaced it really depends on how much healthy tooth has to be removed to place your veneers and most importantly how well you look after them.

    I have had 2 sets of veneers taken off my dentist and lab made mistake each time. I decided to see a dentist with the cerec machine because I thought it would be better to see the results in 3d. I find the quality and appearance are not great and i want to see a top cosmetic dentist to sort it out! My worries are that with the cerec machine they have to cut the tooth to fit there veneers and not sure if that will leave enough tooth to get them re done. Since having them put on I have had to have 2 root canals. Can you please advise me on the risks of doi g them again?

    Forgot to ask….. Since having the cerec veneers I have been experiencing tenderness in my sinus area and awful jaw and neck ache, what could this be?

    Hi, I am a 59 year old healthy female with no prior history of serious dental problems. I lost a molar that had cracked and abcessed. I wanted to replace it with an implant. My dentist used Alloplastic grafting material in preparation for an implant. Just one tooth – a molar. Since it was first put in my mouth 3 months ago, I have gotten more ill each and every day. Headache, nausea, throbbing in the area of the dental work, constant need to sleep or lie down. Could the material used for grafting be the cause of illness?

    Very unlikely, but if concerned I would recommend you see your dentist for an examination

    I am a 54 year old female and am on income support. My upper and lower back teeth are nearly all crowns and I have a bridge in the front upper section of my gums. I am told the enamel is now exrtemely thin and I have ground them all down in my sleep. Guess there is not much hope left for them – do you need anyone to practice on as I do not suppose things can get any worse for me now and I would be very grateful.
