Q. Good morning Dr Bohara I hope this is a fairly simple question to answer….can veneers be replaced? I had 8 veneers fitted to my front teeth approximately 6 years ago and have been very pleased with them. However on a recent visit to my hygienist she slightly chipped a small part from the top of one of the veneers. My dentist has made a repair but the compound? has not stayed in so at the moment I feel there is an unsightly black piece evident when I smile. My dentist has suggested that it might be easier to replace the veneer with a crown as it is sometimes difficult replacing the veneer, is this correct, as I would much prefer to have a replacement veneer? I have read that veneers usually last 5 – 10 years, so what do other patients do when they have problems such as mine? I would appreciate your comments. Many thanks
