Hi Dr Hughes. I recently had veneers on 5 of my front teeth, and am very disappointed and have no faith in the dentist who did them. Two of my teeth already had old veneers on them and the dentist had a great deal of trouble getting these off. I think he may have shaved off too much tooth. I queried the colour (A1) which is far too white. One of the incisors is longer than the other so my bite is now wrong. The incisors also jut out more than before and feel very uncomfortable.
Can the incisors be leveled? I went as a private patient and paid £2.500. Can you offer any advice on how to correct this?

My Veneers Have Altered My Bite. Can They Be Leveled?
Monday, September 8th, 2014My Dentist Thinks I Should Replace My Veneers. What Would You Recommend?
Monday, August 11th, 2014Hi,
I had 6 porcelain veneers fitted to my top front 6 teeth 25 years ago. Within the last 12 months 2 have chipped which I had replaced during my last 2 months in the RAF (free dental treatment) but they are not even close to the shade of my other 4. Since leaving the RAF I have joined my local dentist and recently another veneer has pinged off. I saw my dentist and he recommended that I have all 6 replaced in order to colour match and have all my teeth whitened and fillings replaced with white ones. What would you recommend? (I do fully expect my remaining original veneers to start pinging off now as they’ve lasted way beyond what it was advised).
I’m Interested In Getting Veneers, Will Previous Root Canal Treatment Stop Me From Getting Them?
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013Hello, Dr Gambroudes, I have a number of questions for you. I’m really interested in getting veneers for my four top front teeth, they are slightly crooked and the front two have been repaired before after I cracked them at work. I’ve also had root canal treatment on one of the teeth beside the front two, will any of these repairs cause me not to be able to get veneers? My teeth are currently discoloured as well and I really want nice white teeth as I’m really embarrassed by them. Do you have any idea how much it would be for these?
Thanks.
Which Teeth Whitening Procedure Should I Go For?
Friday, May 10th, 2013Good afternoon. I have a problem, my teeth are very healthy and they have a perfect form, but the colour, it is just far away from white. My teeth are genetically yellow. I brush them 5 times in one day, but…nothing. What is better laser whitening or Sapphire Whitenting? Can I achieve a perfect white teeth with whitening or better solution are veeners? How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last? Can they lose their white colour too? I am so sceptical about veneers :S Thank you so much. Have a nice day! 🙂
My Crown Colour Doesn’t Match My Veneer. What Should I Do?
Monday, January 7th, 2013Hello, three years ago I had cosmetic dentistry done on my two front teeth. I had a vaneer on one and a porcelain crown on the other due to damage. I was really happy with the appearance of them, they were slightly whiter than my other teeth but looked good due to my dominant front teeth smile. A few weeks ago I chipped the crown and had to have this crown redone. I once again selected the full porcelain crown. After getting home and checking in the mirror there is an obvious colour difference between the veneer which is whiter and the new crown which has a yellower tone. I am unhappy in myself about this coulour difference. It now looks like the whiter veneer is the odd tooth out. What would be your advice into getting this work rectified or redone? Thanks
Should a veneer be a different colour to my natural teeth?
Tuesday, November 6th, 2012Is it normal for a composite veneer done on one tooth to differ in colour from the natural teeth? I had a composite veneer done on one of my front teeth and partly on the other, and the composite veneer looks somewhat artificial and more yellow than my natural teeth.
I was told by an experienced cosmetic dentist that this is normal that composite differs from the natural teeth and that my teeth look natural and that I should not change anything.
In fact he did not want to make the changes I asked because he did not want to drill my teeth and did not see a reason to do it.
But still my teeth don’t look natural to me and I am doubting if I should change anything or leave it as is.
My veneer needs replacing but I am not happy with the colour my new dentist has provided, what can I do?
Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 Hi,
I recently cracked a veneer on a front incisor and went to my dentist for a replacement.
I have moved house since the original veneer was fitted and can no longer go to the same dentist.
My new dentist took impressions, colour matches etc and gave me a temporary veneer. I paid for half the cost after the first appointment.
Today I went back to have the proper veneer fitted and it was far too white/cream in colour. The dentist seemed a bit at a loss and said he would have to ask them to re-do it. When placed next to my other tooth, the veneer also looked far too thick and opaque – nothing like the veneer that I had lost. My original veneer was exactly the right colour and much more translucent.
I am now worried that the next effort won’t be good enough! The dentist said the lab may be able to colour the veneer or they may have to make another. I’ve lost a bit of confidence and I would like to know what my options are.
With thanks
I am unhappy with the appearance of my new veneer, can I have it changed?
Monday, October 10th, 2011Hi there, I have had a lab made veneer on my front left tooth and I am unhappy with the way it looks because it looks bigger than the front right tooth, If if were to use a cerec dentist would they be able to make it look nice and symetrical, and how much roughly would I expect to pay for this service? I also have some black fillings that I might be interested in getting replaced with cerec fillings again how much would I be expected to pay for this?
Many thanks
How many times can you have veneers replaced?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Hi there doctor ,
I got veneers for my 2 front teeth about a year ago but I’m not too happy about the colour. I’d like to whiten my teeth and replace my veneers to match the new colour of my teeth. Is it possible to replace my veneers? Is there a limit to replacing them? Also, my veneers feel a little shaky sometimes. If they do break off, do I have any other options? I’ve read that veneers can only be replaced twice in a life time at most. Any truth to that?
Thank you for your time
The veneers and crowns my dentist has given me are the wrong colour. What can be done?
Thursday, May 12th, 2011Hi, I am in the middle of some cosmetic work and worried about final result. I have had an implant to lateral incisor to replace old Maryland bridge,( I never had an adult tooth here) and am having 3 veneersto the other incisors. I wasn’t happy at the fitting – the implant crown was fixed on and the veners temporarily set on – to me the colour of the veneers was obviously wrong – everything was made D2 – the colour match of the crown is perfect except that in some lights a grey shadow from the implant post shows through. And the veneers looked too yellow. the dentist and technician insisted that they were all a perfect match. I agee that the crown was a perfect match – except for the problem of the grey shadow – but the veneers were not! The dentist was quite annoyed and said this was what I had chosen. They are now going to remake everything in B2 . I am so worried about the final result – if the veneers had been the same colour as the crown I would have been happy. An additional problem is that the gum at the implant site is very high so when I smile broadly I have one obviously long tooth – my bridge had a pink margin at the top to minimize this. I am so worried abouth the next visit.
