Should I replace veneers with crowns as they keep cracking?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Q.
I am on my 5th set of veneers. I have the top front four teeth veneered. I started with NHS but they kept chipping and falling off. My dentist then talked meinto private veneers and I am still having problems with then chipping and cracking. Last night my front veneer chipped again and looks awful. My dentist has not charged me for replacing up until now and I guess he wont believe it when he get’s my call first thing Monday morning. Is it time to replace the veneers with crowns?,

Can I have veneers to treat tooth gap?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Q.
was wondering if you could advice on how to fix my broken smile? I have aprox 2mm gap between my central incisors and i am missing the left lateral incisor. Xray revealed that my central incisors roots are short, so braces and a bridge was ruled out. My dentist suggested squaring off my cuspid but I think that would look like a cheap bodged job. if I’m to go with veneers, would I have to have all my upper teeth done?? as it would be very expensive and I’ve only recently graduated.. also would this effect the problem with my central incisors roots? as i am scared of them now falling out… but I am so embarrassed of the gap just to live with it. also, I have a blood disorder and have found any serious dental work needed has been referred to the hospital. thank you,

Can I have veneers for darkened teeth?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Q.
Dear Mr. Moore, I am writing to you in hope that you can somehow help me. Two months ago I was doing teeth whitening and the results were OK except two teeth (tooth number 4 and number 6 on the left upper jaw). Tooth number 4 is a tooth without nerve (which was taken out 20 years ago) and it was very dark. Tooth number 6 was yellow since it had a filling since I was a child (I am 37 now). My dentist recommended to put porcelain veneers for these two teeth and I accepted. Unfortunately he was not trained well and he scraped almost one third of tooth or even more. So he was not able to put veneers (and also veneers were not made properly) and instead he put the white filling on the front side of these teeth. I am very unhappy with this solution but since I am in Belgrade, Serbia, it seems like dentists here are not so advanced and they are recommending to leave it like this. I have to say that this look OK but I am not happy with this solution and I know that it is just a temporary solution. I know that you can’t tell me without seeing it but I need your advice is it possible to put veneers on these two teeth and can they look naturally as my own teeth? And if not what other options I have? I use to live in London and I would be able to come for a treatment in UK so if this can be done properly in UK I would come for a treatment. Could you please give me advice what to do. Many thanks and kind regards,,

What treatment can I have to fix space on either side of upper teeth?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Q.
Thank you for taking my question, I had braces and my jaw realigned; this caused a spce on both sides of my upper teeth leaving me with dracula looking fangs. My teeth are too wide to add bonding and the doctors say I will look like Barney. Right now I am embarrased to smile because my teeth are a natural yellow with gaps between my incisors, what can I do without going vaneers?
