I Am Happy With My Veneers And Now One Has Fallen Off. What Are My Options?

Wednesday, August 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I need to tell you that the second veneer on one of my front teeth has fallen off! My dentist has said that there is not enough tooth left to resurface and has recommended that I have my front teeth crowned. He has now given me a quote of about £500 per tooth. I am not able to afford this at the moment and wondered if there was another solution. As at the moment one of my front teeth is not looking very attractive. I have had veneers on my front teeth for quite a long time and the other tooth still has the original veneer. I have never really been happy with the shape of the veneers as they have made my teeth look too wide and uneven. Look forward to hearing your advice. Thank you

very much Dr Patel.

I’m 71 Years Old And Want To Know If I Am Eligible To Have Veneers Done Through The NHS?

Tuesday, August 20th, 2013
Q.

Throughout my life I have had my teeth looked after by visiting my local dentist. In the past I have had heart surgery (valve replacement )
and I am on the prescription drug, Warfarin for the rest of my life. It is a worry to me that if I needed teeth extractions, I would have to go to the dental hospital, in case of any excessive bleeding. I am unsure of my course of action as I believe that would be a problem for me as I would probably need to stop taking Warfarin during the time of any dental treatment. I am 71 years old and receive pension credit. Do you have any information on that would help know if I would I be able to have my veneers done free of charge?

Worried to loose tooth due to my grinding habit can I have veneers?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Hello I grind my teeth a lot in my sleep and sometimes during the day when I am nervous or stressed. My dentist gave me a hard retainer which did not work. He then gave me a softer one which I chewed through. I now sleep with the hard one in and the soft one on top of that, and it helps but not completely. I am now starting to chew through them both. I have a lot of headaches, mainly tension ones, and I often wake up with tension in my neck and shoulders. I have also started to notice that my teeth have become much more sensitive and I am worrying that I am slowly grinding my teeth away and exposing nerves! I was wondering if I do (fingers crossed I don’t), would I be able to get veneers? Also would i get them free or would I pay? And if I did would they be made of something strong enough to put up with my grinding? Thanks!

Uneven shaped teeth needs to be analysed for the correct treatment.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Between the ages of 17 – 19 I had traditional braces. I am now 29 and find that my teeth have relapsed over time as my dentist warned they might. I wear a nightly retainer (which is a replacement if one I had and broke) but my teeth aren’t as they were when I first had my brace removed. The main issues are: a small ‘Madonnaesque’ gap between my front two teeth and the teeth wither side of those are rather short. I was wondering between veneers, invisalign and lumineers what I could consider to correct the problem. I want something that will completely close the gap without too much damage to my teeth which are white and in very good condition.

Would there be any problem in fixing refitted crown which is sticking out?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I hope you can help me, i have recently had acrown and a veneer fitted on my two front teeth, my crown came out after only a week. my dentist has put it back in with a stronger cement however has pushed it froward when putting it in. now it sticks out further than my other teeth. my dentist has said she can take it out but will have to numb it and there is the chance the root might crack or the crown. do you have any advise on what to do. Thanks

Confused as I cannot find a reason for my smelly and rotting teeth.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I had a veneer on my lateral incisor around 4 years ago. Last year I noticed that the tooth was discoloured around the gum line and had a bad smell/taste and feeling of pressure – never pain. After several courses of antibotics my Dentist performed root treatment, twice as it was unsuccessful the first time. My tooth still smells and tastes bad and my dentist is baffled – any ideas? I think perhaps there is a gap between the veneer and my tooth and that the front shell of my tooth is rotting, could that be the case – is there anything can be done? Thanks
