My veneers are loose and I do not like the colour can I have them replaced

Q. I had veneers 2 yrs ago but so far 3 out of 4 have become loose. my underlying teeth are very small about the size of a baby tooth. is this the problem or is it something that happened during preparation. also i am unhappy with the colour, am i going to cause my underlying teeth problems if i have these drilled off and new ones replaced?

A. If you are unhappy with the colour of your existing veneers than the only solution is to have them replaced. When a veneer is replaced the dentist carefully cuts away the existing veneer. Some underlying tooth may be removed in the process. Following this new veneers would be made or perhaps crowns might be a more permanent solution. Only by having a proper examination and assessment is it possible to accurately plan your future treatment. When choosing a dentist to replace them have a look at their previous work on their web site to help you judge their cosmetic skill.
