my veneer is too thick can I get lumineers and invisaline
Q. I had a root canal about 4 years ago on my front tooth from a back break. i had a veneer, or thats what they said it was. but now i noticed the veneer doesn’t match at all to my other tooth, my gums are purple and the veneer is too thick, it’s just really noticeable. i was wondering if i should get lumineers put on both my front teeth so they will match, but i was wondering if it would be tooth think and be noticeable. also if i could still get invisaline, will it pull the lumineers off? i just want to be able to smile and not feel so conscious of my teeth. i’m a teen and i’m always close to people and like to hang around a lot of people. thank you
A. Thank you for your question
The best thing to do is to have a consultation with a private dentist who is used to carrying out different types of veneers and crowns. If the tooth has had root canal treatment it may need a crown. Also if the gums look purple and the veneer is really thick you may have gum problems above the tooth.
Lumineers are not always suitable and you may require extra work. If your parents can’t take you to a private dentist you could phone NHS direct to help you find an NHS dentist in your area. The number is 0845 4647. Braces may help you and you will have to have a consultation with an orthodontist, the dentist you find will be able to refer you
Kind regards
