What to do as veneers are cracking?

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Q.
My son has empress veneers on eight of his teeth (top front) He had other veneers before this that were awful and bulky. These veneers are beautiful but now they are cracking. His dentist is telling him that his bottom teeth are not straight and rubbing the top. The veneers he had before never cracked, So we are so skeptical about this whole process now and of course wish we never did it. Can you offer any advice?,

Have dental veneers darkened over time?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
I had a complete restoration, Empress Crowns, with several veneers on the front lower teeth. The color I picked was the 2nd to the whitest on the color panel. I always wanted to have really white teeth and my smile was narrow…that is why I got the work done. Now, 7 years later, my teeth look almost 2 shades darker. I was told that the porcelain would not change color. What is happening and what can I do about it? My new dentist indicated that as I age, my real teeth are getting darker. My original dentist never mentioned any such thing. I thought I would always have a bright white smile.,
A.
The porcelain probably has dar… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Worried to loose tooth due to my grinding habit can I have veneers?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Hello I grind my teeth a lot in my sleep and sometimes during the day when I am nervous or stressed. My dentist gave me a hard retainer which did not work. He then gave me a softer one which I chewed through. I now sleep with the hard one in and the soft one on top of that, and it helps but not completely. I am now starting to chew through them both. I have a lot of headaches, mainly tension ones, and I often wake up with tension in my neck and shoulders. I have also started to notice that my teeth have become much more sensitive and I am worrying that I am slowly grinding my teeth away and exposing nerves! I was wondering if I do (fingers crossed I don’t), would I be able to get veneers? Also would i get them free or would I pay? And if I did would they be made of something strong enough to put up with my grinding? Thanks!

Uneven shaped teeth needs to be analysed for the correct treatment.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Between the ages of 17 – 19 I had traditional braces. I am now 29 and find that my teeth have relapsed over time as my dentist warned they might. I wear a nightly retainer (which is a replacement if one I had and broke) but my teeth aren’t as they were when I first had my brace removed. The main issues are: a small ‘Madonnaesque’ gap between my front two teeth and the teeth wither side of those are rather short. I was wondering between veneers, invisalign and lumineers what I could consider to correct the problem. I want something that will completely close the gap without too much damage to my teeth which are white and in very good condition.

If the teeth are poorly shaped… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
