I already have porceline veneers on my top 4 front teeth

Q. Hi, I already have porceline veneers on my top 4 front teeth. I’ve had these for 14 years now and had very little problems with them. However, last year 1 fell off and I was fortunate enough to be able to have it fixed back on. I’m growing increasingly aware that I will need to have them all replaced at some point. My dentist has told me that I will need to have more of my teeth filed away to have another new set put on. I’m worried that eventually I wont have enough tooth to sand down and will have to go down another route with my front teeth. This terrifies me as I am very nervous at the dentist anyway. I’ve heard and now read about lumineers and wondered if they may be an option for me when I come to need these ones replaced. At least then I would hopefully not have to have any more of my tooth filed away. It also sounds like it’s a lot less uncomfortable! Can you let me know if lumineers are a possibility for me please. Many Thanks

A. The present veneers have to be removed before any type of new porcelain veneers are made – including lumineers.
