Why Won’t My NHS Dentist Provide My 14-Year-Old With Dental Veneers?

Wednesday, July 31st, 2013
Q.

My 14 year old daughter has very dark brown markings and fluoride markings on all her teeth due to being infected as a child by fluoride in the water. She has already had 2 composites placed on her front 2 teeth in 2007 and has just completed finished her fixed orthodontics. Our dentist has said she isn’t allowed to get veneers on all her teeth on the NHS but the orthodontist has said she must have these dealt with and veneers is the only option. She has tried many other treatments for years which haven’t worked. Where do i stand legally regarding having veneers fitted on all her badly affected teeth on the NHS? Surely they can do something about this, it isn’t her fault that her teeth look like this. Thank you for your time.

The Bracket On My Brace Has Come Away Should I Be Really Worried?

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013
Q.

I have just had a metal brace fitted & less than 2 hours after fitting, I felt a small twang & on looking noticed that the bracket fixed to the one tooth that I have a porcelain veneer on (top tooth next to the main front tooth) but, had come away.

At the initial consultation, the orthodontist did say that he wasn’t sure whether the bracket would stick to the veneer or that the veneer might be damaged. I told him that the veneer was in fact 15 years old & I wouldn’t be too upset if I had to have it replaced. My orthodontist is closed on a Tuesday (tomorrow) & I don’t want to worry about this – can you advise?

Can You Improve On The Work Done By My NHS Dentist?

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013
Q.

I had composite veneers fitted over the front of my 2 front teeth by an NHS dentist. I’m not happy with the work done. One is bulky and cracked due to the fact that i have already had it repaired the other has a dent in where the glue is and you can see on both where they end and my old tooth is under. I’m so disappointed, i feel I have lost confidence when i smile. I had composite bonding over both teeth years ago and this was great you could not even tell. they looked so natural. I went to get them redone as it has been 8 years and this dentist said this was the only way they could now be done. I feel my front teeth are a mess with the composite veneers. Could your firm do anything? Maybe composite bond over them? Thank you.

Are Composite Veneers Right For Me?

Thursday, April 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am interested in getting veneers to correct the overcrowding of my teeth. One of my canine teeth is up pretty high. Is this something that veneers can fix? Also, is this something that composite veneers can fix? I am looking for something that is reasonably priced as I would do braces if I could afford it. I have been to a consultation already for braces and they said that I would be a good candidate for the invisalign series of braces, I’d love to get that, but it is just too expensive. Thank You!

How Much Would Composite Veneers For My Front Teeth Cost?

Friday, April 12th, 2013
Q.

I have very thin teeth, they are health. I have no fillings whatsoever. However as they are very thin it makes me feel paranoid. They are starting to look almost cracked along the bottom and I want something that will almost protect them while increasing my confidence in my smile. It’s important to me to look good and be able to smile in front of my friends and family but this is knocking me, I’m such a happy smiley person normally, but this is changing me. What I am looking to get done, would be composite veneers on my top front 6 teeth. How much would this cost roughly and would I be able to pay monthly or would it need paid all at once?
Many thanks.

How Can I Properly Whiten My Stained Composite Veneers?

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
Q.

I have composite veneers over my front four teeth and I am looking to have them whitened (they have stained a little over the time I have had them on)
Are there any forms of whitening/ ingredients I should be staying clear of?
I wanted to complete a course of in-surgery lazer whitening but since having it done before I had my veneers put on, it has been made illegal.
Any advice on what would be the best way to bring my veneers/ teeth to their original colour?

Thank you

My Teeth Are Very Sensitive And Discoloured, Is Whitening Toothpaste My Best Bet?

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013
Q.

I am 62 years old and have lost the enamel off my teeth; I have been informed this is due to eating too much fruit.
I am very embarrassed to talk let alone smile, due to the dark colour of my teeth.
I am due to attend a very important wedding soon and I am so worried about my teeth that I am now considering having them whitened.
I do have sensitive teeth and use Sensodyne toothpaste but I believe the whitening process increases sensitivity and am a little concerned about that.
I would truly appreciate your comments please.

How much would six veneers be for my wedding?

Monday, January 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi I was wondering of an estimate price for 6 veneers on my top 6 teeth as I would like them done for my wedding.
I don’t like my teeth at the top because I have quite small teeth, there not even on each side, I have quite a large gap between 2 teeth and they are discoloured.
Oviously I want to smile on my wedding photos and love it.

Also would like to know is there any side affects of having them done and do you have to have them done again and if so how long after?

Thankyou

Should a veneer be a different colour to my natural teeth?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

Is it normal for a composite veneer done on one tooth to differ in colour from the natural teeth? I had a composite veneer done on one of my front teeth and partly on the other, and the composite veneer looks somewhat artificial and more yellow than my natural teeth.

I was told by an experienced cosmetic dentist that this is normal that composite differs from the natural teeth and that my teeth look natural and that I should not change anything.
In fact he did not want to make the changes I asked because he did not want to drill my teeth and did not see a reason to do it.

But still my teeth don’t look natural to me and I am doubting if I should change anything or leave it as is.

My veneers keep falling off, what permanent solutions are available for me?

Friday, August 31st, 2012
Q.

hello i have two composite veneers on my two front teeth as they broke in half a while back. i have been having a problem as every time they have fallen out iv asked to have something a bit more permanent and i have had this problem since i was 18 and it’s getting too much! i am now 24 and i am just wondering if there is some reason my army dentist wont give me something that will last longer? he told me to never use my front teeth or they would come out and not being able to eat with front teeth is quite difficult with certain foods. he can’t expect me not to use my front teeth can he? also they discolour very fast witch is not a good look at all. thank you for your time and i look forward to hearing back from you.
