can amalgam filling be covered over by a porcelain veneer and how much it costs

Q. Hi I have 8 quite large amalgam fillings which I find unsightly and embarrasing when I laugh. I can’t face the trauma of having them replaced – I’m not a good patient. Can they be covered over by a porcelain veneer? I’m not bothered how much it costs I just want to cover them up. Thank you

A. The procedure to cover them over could be as traumatic to you as having them replaced.  I would recommend finding a good dentist who works with nervous patients so you can have them replaced and not be scared of the process.  You can always have treatment carried out under sedation.
