Is my local dentist’s cheap veneer treatment too good to be true?

Monday, January 23rd, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Patel

I recently saw a deal on the net for Parkdent Clinic in Kensington, 4 veneers for £939. I thought the deal sounded too good to be true but to be honest I know very little about cosmetic dentistry. I have an appointment with this clinic on Friday but have been giving my teeth a lot of thought these past few days and I realise that I need to do some research before I go jumping into getting my teeth done because it’s a a cheap deal. The quality of the veneers is more important to me although I don’t have a lot to spend.

My 2 front teeth have a gap and the teeth either side are under-developed. I would like to replace these with veneers. £939 sounds like a great deal but is this not too good to be true? Are porcelain veneers the best option for me?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, 

A.

Is it likely that the cost of porcelain veneers will rise?

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
Q.

I have broken and worn front teeth either from grinding or acid erosion over the years, and I am considering porcelain veneers. Given that the treatment is expensive, and that the veneers only last 5 to 10 years, is the cost of replacements likely to be comparable to the initial treatment ? My fear is that although I might be able to find the funds for the initial treatment, i could end up being locked into unaffordable treatments into my old age ?

How do I find the best cosmetic dentist for veneer treatment?

Friday, December 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi there, I am really interested about getting veneers on my top teeth, having had braces and asthma when I was younger they are discolored and have moved in shape.
I live in Milton Keynes but my question to you, is how do you know the best place to go to get them? I don’t want a fake looking smile, which makes me really scared but I look at images on the internet and a few of my friends and most look amazing. Could you recommend anyone to me? and what price should I be looking at paying.

Many Thanks

Will using a home whitening kit when wearing veneers loosen them?

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011
Q.

Dear Mr Patel, I have six porcelein veneers fitted four on top centre and two lower centre. When whitening with home kit could this potentially loosen my porcelein veneers. The reason I ask it may be purely co-incidental but recently I have had two of them fall out within a month of each other they were fitted in 2000. I am considering having crowns fitted the next time one of my veneers breaks or falls out would it be a more benefical way in the long term I was advised if I keep getting my veneers replaced my original tooth with shorten and I may eventually end up with not having enough tooth for the veneer to stick onto. I would very much appreciate your thoughts on both my concerns. Kindest regards, 

A.

I am experiencing pain under one of my new veneers, should I be worried?

Monday, November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I had two porcelain veneers on my canine teeth a month ago. I had a problem with the bite but the dentist did some filing at it all seemed well. However the last 10 days I have been getting pain in one of the veneers, which is sore to touch and also alot of pain moving around that side of my jaw. I went to the dentist and she said i need a root canal she didnt do any X-rays.

Do you think the pain may settle down? The pain comes and goes.

Also wondering why it only started a few weeks after treatment too.

Many thanks

I have had veneers for 4 years but am now suffering from gingivitis, what can I do?

Friday, November 4th, 2011
Q.

i had veneers placed on my top 8 teeth almost 4 years ago as a cosmetic solution to missing teeth and gaps. I did not need any veneers on my lower teeth as only my upper teeth were visible when i smiled. Now, less than 4 years on, when i smile you can see my lower teeth which means i no longer have that elusive hollywood smile, and i am experiencing gingival problems only on the area where my veneers have been placed so that my gums are visible on top and in between my veneers. My dentist says i need to have my veneers removed and only if advised after a suitable period of time can they be replaced. But what does this mean? I know a lot of tooth structure was removed in order for me to have veneers, i don’t want to have my veneers removed as i have hardly any teeth remaining underneath. and if it is unadvisable to have my veneers replaced does this mean i will forever have no teeth? Please help as i’m losing my mind here over this!

The two crowns fitted to my front teeth are too big, is there anything I can do?

Thursday, October 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi I had veneers fitted 15 years ago to close quite a large gap I had in my front teeth. I never thought of having a brace fitted at the time & thought this would be a quick fix to solve the problem. My dentist suggested I had crowns fitted as the veneers were continuously falling out. My front teeth look too big compared to the rest of my teeth & I am very self consious about this. I was wondering if there was any way these could be made to look smaller, or is there nothing I can do about this due to having crowns fitted. If this could be done would it be very expensive to correct.

A.
