My Veneers Have Altered My Bite. Can They Be Leveled?

Monday, September 8th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I recently had veneers on 5 of my front teeth, and am very disappointed and have no faith in the dentist who did them. Two of my teeth already had old veneers on them and the dentist had a great deal of trouble getting these off. I think he may have shaved off too much tooth. I queried the colour (A1) which is far too white. One of the incisors is longer than the other so my bite is now wrong. The incisors also jut out more than before and feel very uncomfortable.
Can the incisors be leveled? I went as a private patient and paid £2.500. Can you offer any advice on how to correct this?

After Doing Some Research On Veneers, I Want To Know If They Will Look Too Bulky?

Thursday, October 10th, 2013
Q.

I chipped my front tooth that had composite bonding. I was told to get 8 veneers. I have a slight overbite. I already had the prep work done and am on my 2nd dentist. I have the temporaries and there is a large space between the back of my top teeth and the front of my bottom teeth. You can stick your fingernail under them. I have been doing research online and saw if you have an overbite the veneers will look bulky. Is it too late to get composite bonding so I won’t have to worry?

I Have Temporary Veneers That Are Affecting My Speech, Will The Permanent Veneers Resolve This Problem?

Tuesday, October 1st, 2013
Q.

I am having two veneers on my two front teeth replaced. Originally my temporary veneers were thick and too long and I had a problem with pronouncing letters and also they dug into my lower lip. The temporaries have now been thinned and shortened and that has removed the problem except that now my speech feels lazy. My priority has always been speech over look of teeth so I am concerned now there is another issue.

My dentist and I both agree that the temps are now too short and that the permanent veneers will be longer.

Do you think that the current shorter length of the temp veneers could be the cause of the lazy speech and that it will therefore resolve when the permanent ones are slightly longer? Also, to the left of front teeth I have an old bridge which is has always stuck out beyond adjacent front tooth at the bottom of the tooth. My dentist has matched the position of the veneers to this bridge which means my teeth will be positioned further forward . Do you think that having teeth in a more forward position could be the cause of lazy speech? Thanks.

It could well be the case that… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I Am Happy With My Veneers And Now One Has Fallen Off. What Are My Options?

Wednesday, August 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I need to tell you that the second veneer on one of my front teeth has fallen off! My dentist has said that there is not enough tooth left to resurface and has recommended that I have my front teeth crowned. He has now given me a quote of about £500 per tooth. I am not able to afford this at the moment and wondered if there was another solution. As at the moment one of my front teeth is not looking very attractive. I have had veneers on my front teeth for quite a long time and the other tooth still has the original veneer. I have never really been happy with the shape of the veneers as they have made my teeth look too wide and uneven. Look forward to hearing your advice. Thank you

very much Dr Patel.

How can I reverse the veneers I have because they are too big?

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
Q.

I had veneers fitted to my 2 front teeth to narrow my gap 10 years ago the only problem is i’ve always felt that my front teeth look massive in comparison to the rest of my teeth and it makes me embarrassed to smile as people notice how big they are, would I be able to get them reveneered so the teeth are smaller or am I stuck with big teeth?

I’m not sure why the dentist just veneered the front two and left the incisors either side the same size, so don’t know if an option would be to veneer the incisors either side so they are slightly bigger and make the two big teeth slightly smaller, i always feel like people notice how big they are and it does nothing for my confidence. I don’t mind having a small gap just the big teeth that goes with it. Do you think it is something i could look at getting fixed or just learn to live with big teeth. The two front teeth measure 0.5mm and the incsiors at either side are roughly 0.3mm, the first thing you notice when i smile is two tombstone teeth which is not a nice look lol. I bope there is something that can be done to make the teeth smaller
