My gums have receded to the extent would lumineers be the way forward?

Q. I have 15 year old veneers on 8 teeth and my gums have receded to the extent that the old scraped down teeth is now visible behind the veneers and is ugly and extremely sensitive. Unfortunately I had one replaced by my dentist last year and it looks even worse, he had to shave half of it away so I could close my teeth, not a great job, and I am terrified of the dentist!! Would lumineers be the way forward for me, and how expensive are they? Thank you 🙂

A. Lumineers are a type of very thin veneer more suitable for people who have never had treatment on their front teeth so I don’t know if they would be the best option for you. It sounds like you just need the veneers all replaced with good quality veneers made using an experienced dentist and technician.
