I had veneers placed on my top six teeth two years ago

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
Q.
I had veneers placed on my top six teeth two years ago. They were fine for the first year but since then my gums have been pulling away from the edges of them. I have no gum disease and they do not bleed. My dentist used a special tool to ensure that edges of my veneers were not rough and irritating my gums but this hasn’t made any difference. The gum between my right front tooth and the tooth next to it has the worst recession and I can see the edge of the veneer. It also makes it look like the veneer on the tooth next to my front tooth is sticking out alot. What can I do about my gums? and would you recommend that I have a larger veneer placed on the tooth with the biggest gap? I also have stains along the gum line of my veneers. They are an unattractive yellow colour – I am seeing my dentist next month, will he be able to remove these stains? if not what do I do?

I am 56yrs old and have been ashamed of my protruding upper and lower teeth

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am 56yrs old and have been ashamed of my slightly protruding upper and lower teeth for so long. I also suffer with a degree of gum disease and teeth whitening has not worked for me. Is there a treatment (not braces / Invisalign) which allows the upper and lower sets to be better aligned / positioned which does not impair the bite and for veneers or other treatment to improve the look and colour?

You could have veneers/ crowns… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

my 4 veneers do not fit straight

Sunday, August 17th, 2008
Q.
I had veneers fitted.the 4 front ones i am due to go back as one was not fitted perfectly straight and dentist had to trim the bottom off as it was longer than other front one. he is going to replace it, but it has caused the smaller one next to it not to fit right. when i chew on that side i can feel the teeth sort of clicking. does this mean they are not fitted correctly and should i have them both replaced? also should i be able to see and feel a roughness around the top of the teeth where they meet the gum, like they are not on properly or its the cement that holds them on. is this normal?
