Crowns fitted to my teeth are causing problem

Monday, October 26th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have recently had 4 crowns fitted to my front teeth. They were fixed with temporary cement at first and all of them fell off within a couple of weeks. Since being fitted with permanent cement they have been in place for a couple of months but they feel like they are moving. I have previously had veneers and they sometimes used to give a clicking sensation which i was used to yet with the crowns it is much more often. I am worried that the crowns are not fitted properly (especially as they fell off) and my own tooth may become damaged. My dentist says there is nothing wrong and not to worry. Can you please provide some advice?

Q.
I have a partial denture for my upper left and right lateral incisors, but am interested in looking at implants, as this would be a more permanent solution.I admit I have not looked after my teeh very well in the past but I am determined to this time but dont fancy wearing dentures long term – my NHS dentist has mentioned veneers or bridges but not sure about that either. Many thanks.

Is its normal for a veneer to be slightly wide than other teeth?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
I had a veneer on one of my top front teeth as it was dead and discoloured. I wasn’t showed te colour or size of the veneer before it was fitted. as it turned out the colour isnt perfect but much better than it was, the problem i have is the size. i went back the day after it was fitted unhappy as the tooth was much wider than my other front tooth and was very noticable. My dentist shaved it down the one side saying that is as much as he could do without damaging the veneer. It was better but the tooth still stands out as sticking out and slightly too wide.Is this normal for a veneer? i was under the impression the tooth is shaved down so that veneer fits into place without sticking out? many thanks
