I’ve had veneers for 20 years, but some keep falling off recently. Is the process faulty or is the porcelain contaminated?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Q.
I have 6 veneers on my front top teeth. I had them placed over 20 years ago and have never had any problems. Last year one fell of and was successfully replaced. About a month later one of my large front ones fell off and has been replaced 3 times. Two others came off after that and they seem to have been successfully replaced. My question is can the porcelain from the one which keeps falling off be contaminated in some way or is it more likely to be either the bonding or the process which is at fault?,
A.
Its very difficult to rebond a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I’m worried that I have paid for a certain type of material, but have got another. What can I do?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I’ve had 3 crowns fitted the first was metal based layered with porcelain – this was ok but I had a dark gum line. So I decided to have the next 2 crowns ‘all ceramic’ to avoid this dark line, but the dark gum line is even worse with the ceramic crowns. After reading up about crowns on the web and something a stand in dentist said at my practice I’m wondering if I’ve paid for ceramic but got the cheaper metal and porcelain crowns. Please advise.,
A.
It doesn’t sound right that th… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
