Q.
I had 6 cerinate veneers put on my upper teeth 2 years ago. They were fine for the first year but since then my gums have started to pull away from my teeth. I don’t have gum disease and they don’t bleed but I have started to get noticable gaps in my front teeth which are ruining the look of my veneers. My dentist used a special tool to ensure that there were no rough edges around my veneers earlier this year but I’m afraid that most of the damage has already been done and I can only assume this recession is a result of a reaction to the bonding material or something. What can I do to ensure that my gums do not recede any further? I also have some staining along the edges of my veneers (a horrible yellow colour) I am seeing my dentist next month, will he be able to get rid of this staining and is there anything I can do at home to reduce it? Is it possible to have veneers removed and not replace them and still look respectable? My dentist only made the surface of my teeth very slightly rough before placing the veneers. Would my gum line look odd? If I decide to have my veneers replaced (I don’t really want to have to do this for financial reasons plus I have only had them two years and I had hoped they would last longer) how much would it cost at your practice? and how difficult will it be to remove the old ones? Please reply I really need advice. Thank you.
