I had 6 veneers abroad but one fell out. They are offering free replacement but I can’t afford to go there again. Can you help?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had 6 veneers done in Hungary but 2 weeks later one of them came off. Now, I have a guarantee with the dentist and they said it would be fixed for free but then there is the cost of going there and getting the temporary one fitted in and then going back for the actually veneers to be fitted. I really don’t have all that money, so i found a dentist that does it for £370 but I’m not sure to what quality! I guess I just wanted to ask, what you think of veneers costing under £600? Thanks,
A.

Could I have the herbst appliance with damon braces to treat overbite?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi I’m going to be 20 in a couple of months time but I have overbite of about 6-7mm. I had braces when I was younger but my treatment was never completed and my teeth have since shifted again and now need a brace to re-straighten them, but my overbite is the problem that concerns me the most as it’s horribly noticable to me. Would the Herbst appliance with Damon braces be the best treatment for me? If so, which orthodontic surgeries offer the Herbst? I live in Kent, so travelling to London wouldn’t be a big problem. Thanks for any help in advance!,
