My Brand New Porcelain Veneers Seem To Be A Different Shade To My Other Teeth. Will My NHS Dentist Replace Them For Free?

Friday, October 4th, 2013
Q.

I had porcelain veneers fitted 1 day ago on my two front teeth only. Before having them fitted I whitened them and let them rest. Before bonding them the dentist did show me the teeth in the mirror but due to having a shaky jaw it was difficult for me to see. The veneers are an excellent shape and fit, however the colour is slightly darker than the teeth next to them. It’s hardy noticeable to anyone else but it’s all I can see, I’ve spent £1500 with the whitening and the veneers and so expected them to be perfect. I had them done as I’m getting married and wanted a better smile. The treatment was done at an NHS dentist, do you think the dentist will replace them for free? Thank you.

Will Composite Bonding Improve The Look Of My Smile?

Wednesday, June 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi, my lateral incisors are very small and pointy and my canine teeth are very big. This makes me have a very weird smile. What treatments do you have to fix this? And roughly how much does it cost? I was thinking maybe composite bonding for better shape lateral incisors. I don’t know what procedure can be used to make my canines look nicer. I want to have a beautiful smile without feeling self conscious…. I don’t know what else to say

Would Bonding And Veneers Be My Best Options For Filling The Gaps?

Thursday, May 16th, 2013
Q.

I have a 2 mm gap between my front teeth and then less than 1 mm on either side of that, everything else is straight and normal. What would be the best treatment in this case? I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on braces or Invisalign for something so small. I read something about bonding and veneers, but I’m not sure if those are real options. I’m not an expert though, I’m sure you’ve had more patients in my position. So if you could offer any advice then that would be truly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank You!

Q.

Good afternoon. I have a problem, my teeth are very healthy and they have a perfect form, but the colour, it is just far away from white. My teeth are genetically yellow. I brush them 5 times in one day, but…nothing. What is better laser whitening or Sapphire Whitenting? Can I achieve a perfect white teeth with whitening or better solution are veeners? How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last? Can they lose their white colour too? I am so sceptical about veneers :S Thank you so much. Have a nice day! 🙂

How much would six veneers be for my wedding?

Monday, January 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi I was wondering of an estimate price for 6 veneers on my top 6 teeth as I would like them done for my wedding.
I don’t like my teeth at the top because I have quite small teeth, there not even on each side, I have quite a large gap between 2 teeth and they are discoloured.
Oviously I want to smile on my wedding photos and love it.

Also would like to know is there any side affects of having them done and do you have to have them done again and if so how long after?

Thankyou

How to I sort out my badly done porcelain veneers?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012
Q.

I foolishly rushed into getting 6 porcelain veneers a few years a go. It was at the height of this dental holiday nonsense. I had been in an accident, I was young, and I was desperate to get my smile repaired. I stupidly jumped in to it without looking at what could go wrong.

Anyway, they took away most of my teeth to fit them. I was shocked to when i realised they had done this. They subsequently moved (the veneers)- and i’ve never been happy with them. In-fact far from improving my confidence they have left me very insecure.

I\m really upset, a brace would have been the way to go, but now this is not an option as i don’t have my original teeth.

My question then is, is there anyway that i can have my smile repaired so it looks natural? i actually want it to look just normal, maybe even not perfectly straight. Just a normal smile so i’m not thinking, oh my god i must look like one of those fake simon cowell people everytime i open my mouth.

PLease help. i just need to know there is a solution, it’s really upset me.

And also, how do i know who to go with??

My veneers keep falling off, what permanent solutions are available for me?

Friday, August 31st, 2012
Q.

hello i have two composite veneers on my two front teeth as they broke in half a while back. i have been having a problem as every time they have fallen out iv asked to have something a bit more permanent and i have had this problem since i was 18 and it’s getting too much! i am now 24 and i am just wondering if there is some reason my army dentist wont give me something that will last longer? he told me to never use my front teeth or they would come out and not being able to eat with front teeth is quite difficult with certain foods. he can’t expect me not to use my front teeth can he? also they discolour very fast witch is not a good look at all. thank you for your time and i look forward to hearing back from you.

How good is the quality of CEREC crowns?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there dr Patel, I recently had my front top right crown replaced because it was a metal – ceramic and a shadow was visible at the top.However I am not happy with the new crown which is all ceramic but the colour is not quite right.
Do you only do CEREC crowns or do you use ceramic/porcelain also . I am very keen to have a good match and my current normal teeth have been whitened and are fairly translucent. Are CEREC teeth as good looking as a good porcelain tooth. I am really upset with the work that has recently been done and I want to have the best possible work done. Thank you for your time.
