Would I be able to get veneers on the NHS?

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I have had caps on one of my teeth (top front teeth) on 2 occasions as my the bottom of my tooth was chipped quite badly playing football when younger, but they keep falling off. My teeth are also very sensitive, I have used toothpaste for this for atleast the last year but it hasn’t helped.

I have spoken to some people about this when teeth is the topic of conversation and on a few occasions veneers have been mentioned. I’m not in a position where I have the funds to pay for private veneers after a quick search on Google, but have seen that veneers through the NHS are rather inexpensive.

Given my brief description of my situation, would veneers at NHS prices ever be granted? I am willing to try other solutions also. I have an appointment next week with my dentist, but just thought I would ask here first to see if it would even be worth mentioning.

Thanks for your time.

Can I wear a temporary veneer and retainers at the same time?

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi,

I just had a temporary veneer cap in today as my tooth was badly stained.

Does the temporary veneer cap should look slightly bigger and thicker than the original tooth?

I do have retainers from my fixed braces that i still wear to keep my teeth in place, can i still wear them retainers or is it best to leave it as it may not fit my original teeth which was moulded?

What precautions should i take as I have had this temporary cap?

When I do have the permenant veneers done which will be on the 15th June, will they look at normal natural as my original tooth? as in not thicker and bigger than this temporary veneer cap i have on at this moment.
