One side of my veneers had fallen off, can it be bonded back together with less cost?

Q. Hello, I had veneers put in 2 years ago and had a broken front one replaced free of charge last year. Unfortunately one of the side ones has now cracked and half of it has fallen off. I have contacted my dentist and asked about ‘fixing’ it back on but he is saying a brand new veneer at £600.00 is the only option. Can Veneers not be bonded back together is it is a clean break? Maybe I’m just getting fed up of spending more on top of the original £10,000! thanks

A. The joinbetween the two halves will always be detectable. As you spent a lot on the appearance of your teeth, I guess this would annoy you in the long term. At current fracture rates You should look into if any changes need to be made to your bite. Possibly wear a night time guard. It is worth asking for a reduced fee on the replacement.
