Are there any better methods than veneers? are implants the strongest solution available?

Q. I had 4 porcelain veneers fitted approx 4 years ago and not fitted all that well I thought but never had it done before so could not make any comparisons. One cracked from top to bottom yesterday and now one half has fallen off. Not a good look and my dentist left the practise at end of March, no replacement dentist and others fully booked. Are there any better methods than veneers? Why can’t layers of an enamel-like substance be fixed on? Are implants the only strongest solution available now? Mention average costs please.

A. Hi many thanks for your email, it is unfortunate the veneer has fractured. i still think that veneers are a good solution and are strong. my advice would be to have the veneer replaced with porcelain again and ask the dentist to investigate the reason why the veneer fractured.

hope this is helpful.
