Hi. Thank you very much for your advice. I have tried looking around for another dentist close to home (I live a long way from Birmingham unfortunately) but am having some difficulty. Next to the teeth to be veneered is an implant done recently placed by the same dentist, the plan being to have the veneers/implant crown made and fixed at the same time to ensure similarity and fit. Other dentists are reluctant to take the job on for that reason apparently. However, having been for the actual veneer fitting, the work that I was presented with was totally unsuitable – wrong size, shape, fit and colour, so I refused to have them fitted. They are currently being remade, but I am obviously now very nervous. When the temporary veneers came off, what is left of the teeth underneath appears to be blackening. Would this normally happen? The dentist told me that was just the colour of teeth when the enamel is removed, but they weren’t that colour after the original preparation, this is a more recent change. The dentist is also suddenly very busy during daylight hours and I have had to wait a month for my next appointment during the day (I’m reluctant to go at night because of the colour issue), and so it looks as though this may go on for quite some time. Should I persevere with this dentist until the veneers are acceptable, or would you recommend I persevere to find another dentist further afield? Thank you for your help – it is very much appreciated.

i was wondering if you could please give me a quote for a dental implant for my front tooth. i currently have a crown, but my nhs dentist has said that it will need to be replaced as it keeps coming loose, and the tooth thatis left inside my gum is too soft, and crumbling, no longer holding the crown in! as it is a pricey job, i am ‘shopping’ around to get quotes. thank you
