Can I get veneers done on the NHS?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Q.
Hello, Is it wise to get veneers? I am with a private dentist and really want them done as I am only 21 and have awful teeth with a big noticable gap between my two front teeth. I have got to the point where I dont like to smile in public. My dentist tells me I should have the procedure done at such a young age. Would I be able to get it done under the NHS as i feel its causing me psychological trauma?,

I’m unhappy with my new crowns, they’re not at all like imagined they would be. Am I stuck with them?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Q.
I’ve always wanted to have my smile improved and decided that after many years i would look into getting my teeth crowned, i had chipped, discoloured and filled teeth all along the front row. I eventually had the work done but im not happy with the overall result, they’re not like I imagined they would be, they’re more yellow than white, they’re too big and the finish along the gum line is ‘chunky’. Apparently that’s because they were NHS and not private, surely this should not make a difference and I shouldn’t have to accept this. Can they be improved or am i stuck with them ? I’d appreciate your advice.,
