Q. Several years ago I had two veneers fitted to my front teeth to help give them a straighter look (they sloped backwards) and an upper crown and it much improved the look. However they have fallen off so many times over the years and I dont eat anything that I have to bite down on. My dentist is NHS and says she will fit crowns for me but after the veneer experience I am not sure what to do. Can you advise me. Also the gum line over the crown is now showing the metal post and I would like to avoid that.
