Are there any alternatives to dental veneers which are affordable?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I had a porcelain veneer put in last year but some of it has now chipped off. As the enamel from that tooth has been ground down is there any alternative to veneers which are affordable? (My dentist has said that a crown would not be possible on that tooth due to there not being enough original tooth left)

I’m not happy with my dental veneers, what can I do? Please help!

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi I have had my teeth whitened, gums sculptured and 4 veneers on my top teeth, the total cost is £3000, although so far I’ve only paid one finance installment. The veneers were fitted today and I’m really unhappy with the result, the teeth are too big and too long, they are not of even length and are not regular in their shape or appearance. I don’t know what to do and although I appreciate it may be difficult for you to comment on the result, can you advise me as to the best way to proceed. I know the veneers were made in just 3 working days (due to a mistake made by the dentist) and I wonder if that has effected the quality of the veneers I’ve ended up with. I don’t know whether to trust the dentist to try again or whether I should refuse to pay and get a different dentist to replace the veneers. Please help, i’m so upset!! I can email you before and after photos if that will help you to answer.,

Can you provide finance plans for the treatment I require?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am 21 and have always been told I only needed braces for cosmetic reasons, regrettably I refused treatment as I didn’t want to “follow the crowd” then when I turned 18 I was told I needed the treatment. I have been looking at different solutions and have just discovered Invisalign, is this something you practice? I have also looked at Porcelain Veneers as a potential solution. I was wondering if there is financial help available? such as payment plans? I would love to have the confidence to smile properly, but would definately need some help and advice… can you help?,
