The veneer on my two front teeth came off

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hello. I need some advice regarding a chipped front tooth on the right side. I chipped it some time ago and i went to see my dentist and he said he could fit a veneer for me. He fitted one on the chipped tooth and one on another front tooth because another overlaps it and he said he wanted to make them look at lot straighter. The veneers came off about a week later because he said the two front teeth are not the same size as each other and overlap. One of them keeps pushing the veneer off the fron tooth and he said it is major works and i should ask him about that later because he is not sure what to do. I am really depressed about it and i hate my image because of it. Could you give me some advice about what could be done. I am also a single mum who relys on NHS dental care so what else will they offer apart fronm veneers. Thanks

Which one is better Veneer or Crown?

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Patel I am about to have a crown fitted on a front tooth but am concerned whether this is best treatment. My front tooth is halved horizontally due to childhood accident but is still strong and the nerve still alive. My dentist recommends a crown (though originally proposed a veneer). The reason I’m getting dental work is that original cap (only fitted to bottom half of tooth) has now discoloured as I’m 38 and had original Crown at 10 yrs old. So it’s an aesthetic replacement. My teeth are in excellent condition and are very strong. What would you recommend? Veneer or Crown? My concern is weakening the tooth by filing away for a crown when I know the top half is strong and nerve alive. Regards

A.

My NHS dental crowns are too white what can I do

Monday, July 14th, 2008
Q.
I go to a local dentist where I have been going for a long time and my dentist no longer treats adults, just children\’s braces. i therefore changed to a dentist at that practice, but did not know him. I have had 3 new crowns at the front and a veneer (privately) plus teeth whitening. I was told that the two teeth (old NHS crowns) either side of the front two had metal posts and they may show through the porcelain, but it shouldn’t be a problem. This treatment was carried out about march time at a cost of £1200 plus teeth whitening. The crown were a bit too white for my own colour and I was asked to repeat the teeth whitening for another week. They still do not match, the two crowns on the metal posts are a grey colour and I do not feel entirely happy with them. Where do I stand regarding this or having a second opinion. The dentist who carried out the work is very nice, so I feel at a loss as to what to do next.
