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.

Have I Made A Mistake Shaving So Much Of My Tooth Off?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I went in this morning to get molds done for veneers (10) for smile enhancement; brighter smile and a front chipped tooth about 1 month ago (composite placed to reshape 2 front teeth back in 2004) . So, I chose to do this because I also used to drink a lot if acidic drinks and I thought getting veneers would help preserve my original teeth. The Dr. ended up shaving a lot more tooth than I expected and I feel awful and think I’ve made a bad decision. The Dr. said I had abscessed teeth, but when I looked up what that meant, I never had any pus-filled pockets or any other signs of the definition. He says everything will be fine, that they use e-max with a 7 year warranty and my teeth will look great once they are placed on. Do you any advice? I regret letting him shave off so much tooth, but it was too late after I realized how much was being removed. Any re-assurance would be great, but I’ll take any advice you can provide me. Thanks.

How can I treat my oversized front teeth?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi
My two front teeth are longer than the two teeth on either side of them, this is made worse in that the two teeth either side are quite small. I think this makes me look like i’ve got squirrel teeth, how can i correct this? Can the front two teeth be filed down? What’s the best way to level them out? my own dentist said i should have 4 caps/veneers over all of them, but is this really the best treatment? Thank you!

Can I have veneers or crowns for all of my front teeth?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have one tooth at the top, front of my mouth which is fairly pushed back into my mouth. As well as this I have fillings in a few of my front teeth due to decay, however they as well as other teeth are now very stained. I do have a slight overbite which doesn’t bother me at all and all my other teeth are fine. I was just wondering would I be able to get veneers or crowns for all of my front teeth? Even though I have this one bent tooth. I’m really unhappy with my teeth and sad its come to this but so desperate to get a nice set of front teeth!!How much should I expect to pay for this type of treatment? Thank you for any advice in advance!

Would a dental veneer cover my yellow tooth?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hi I had a consultation last year over my two front teeth and the one to the left of them, I had knocked my two front teeth years before and chipped both and had them filled with white fillings, which are still on them today, one tooth died and I had root canal but since then it has gone yellow, and my two front teeth over time have pushed back, also the tooth next to them went forwards and twisted over time. My question is would a veneer cover the yellow and could I have a veneer over the white fillings? As I really don’t want to have drastic filling and drilling down of my two front teeth! My second question is what are the risks of the Inman brace? As it moves your teeth quickly can you get fractures or damage to the roots of my teeth?

Can you please provide me with as much information as you can about Lumineer treatment?

Monday, August 20th, 2012
Q.

Hello i have been looking to find a dentist that is able to fit one veneer to my front tooth. It has given me many years of insecurities and I am eager to do something about it now. The only problem i have is due awful experiences as a child i can no longer have injections in the mouth. I have opted for sedation via another dentist than my own but i have just discovered lumineers and your clinic has come up that it offers such a service. Could i have as much information as you can possibly give about this e.t.c pain? what is involved and how much this would cost? thank you

Q.

hi, i am considering getting veneers as i have lost all my confidence because of my teeth. i have been told some are cheaper than others, could you please give me some advice on this as i do not earn a huge amount of money every month. i have also heard of instant veneers which i have been told are more straight forward to have done, is this true? i live in Leicestershire so where would be the nearest place for me to get them done? also, do any places let you pay monthly or would i have to get a loan from my bank? any information would be much appreciated. thank you

How can I reverse the veneers I have because they are too big?

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
Q.

I had veneers fitted to my 2 front teeth to narrow my gap 10 years ago the only problem is i’ve always felt that my front teeth look massive in comparison to the rest of my teeth and it makes me embarrassed to smile as people notice how big they are, would I be able to get them reveneered so the teeth are smaller or am I stuck with big teeth?

I’m not sure why the dentist just veneered the front two and left the incisors either side the same size, so don’t know if an option would be to veneer the incisors either side so they are slightly bigger and make the two big teeth slightly smaller, i always feel like people notice how big they are and it does nothing for my confidence. I don’t mind having a small gap just the big teeth that goes with it. Do you think it is something i could look at getting fixed or just learn to live with big teeth. The two front teeth measure 0.5mm and the incsiors at either side are roughly 0.3mm, the first thing you notice when i smile is two tombstone teeth which is not a nice look lol. I bope there is something that can be done to make the teeth smaller

How can I correct my stained and chipped teeth?

Friday, June 1st, 2012
Q.

Hello,
I knocked out my two front teeth around 10 years ago when I was 11 years old. I have had braces fitted twice which alined the rest of my teeth however the front two are chipped due to my accident and one is shorter then the other, I would like a professional oppinion as to whether there is anything i can do to get my teeth looking ‘perfect’. I had to undergo procedures every 1-3 months for root treatment for around 2 years on the front teeth but during this time they began to disintergrate in the small gap that is now between them and have gone slightly darker. I have had my teeth whitened several times which does not seem to last long even though i have a healthy diet and do not smoke or drink things such as coffee or red wine as suggested by my dentist. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Kind regards.
