Can Old Veneers Be Removed Or Filed Down? Mine Are Too Thick And Don’t Match The Rest Of My Mouth.

Thursday, October 24th, 2013
Q.

Can old veneers be removed?
Many years ago I had them fitted and they have always looked too thick. I would like to know if they can be filed down to look slimmer.

I have never had the nerves or the money to do anything about this as I used to suffer from panic attacks and could not face the thought of going to the dentist.

It would be more affordable to me if the teeth I have now could sort of be modernised, like skimmed down so I don’t look as though my teeth are so thick.

They don’t seem to suit the rest of my teeth.

At the time I paid £500 pounds for them at a dentist in Manchester.

I had the teeth done as a result of domestic violence and one tooth was chipped but the other was perfectly okay.

However the dentist said I should have the two of them done for a better result?

I would appreciate your help and guidance.

Kindest regards.

Could cosmetic bonding help smooth my chipped veneer?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

I had a veneer six years ago to replace one that broke. The veneer looked very good when fitted colour etc, but immediately upon eating found that the bottom teeth hit the underside of the veneer. Returning to the dentist they then took away some of the back of the veneer, which made eating ok again.
Six months later after eating a piece of hard bread the tooth cracked at one side. Again returning to the dentist they smoothed down the tooth, it was now slightly shorter and rounder.
I did contact the dentist 2 years later who said they would replace it, as I preferred the original veneer, (unfortunately they couldn�t find the original mould) but thought the same thing could happen again so I decided to leave it.
However never being entirely happy with this tooth I wondered what your thoughts were, and if cosmetic bonding to fill in the slightly chipped look and to make the tooth slightly longer would work?
The tooth next to the veneer has been aligned slightly with composite bonding that was done at the same time the original veneer was fitted by the dentist.
Thank you.

My veneers feel rough after being filed down. Can anything be done to correct this problem?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
I had 4 porcelain crowns fitted that were too long. My dentist filed them down and they are now the correct size, but they feel really rough. Will this rougness go away in time or is there anything else that the dentist can do to correct this problem. I had all this treatment done privately and as you can imagine am disappointed as I paid £900 per crown.,
