Hi there, i am soon to have veneers on my four front top teeth to reduce the large gaps that have developed since i had severe peritonitis last year. I had been hopeful that i could have this work done on or part on the NHS as i already suffer from severe depression and anxiety and these gaps have left me more reclusive and avoiding social situations. I explained this to my dentist but he said as the work was cosmetic i would have to pay the full amount myself and hasn’t applied or contacted the NSH on my behalf. I have made an appointment at my doctors to seek his advice too. Also i was originally asked if i could have a brace to close the gaps but the dentist said because of the past gum disease my teeth/gums might not to be strong enough to have a brace. He also originally said that there was no point just putting veneers on if my teeth were going to keep moving apart. He took xrays a few weeks ago and hasnt took me what the results were, ie if since my last xray the teeth have continued to move apart. Please can you advise my on the way to go forward with this, Thanks
