My Dentist Thinks I Should Replace My Veneers. What Would You Recommend?

Q.

Hi,

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’ve Just Got Veneers 5 Months Ago And I’m Hearing A Popping Sound. Have You Ever Heard Of This Problem Before?

Q.

Hi Dr Mark, I have several new veneers – top front. They were fitted 5 months ago and I’m hearing little sounds and getting a slight feeling like pressure in those veneered teeth before I hear the sound. Almost like a pop. My dentist checked my jaw and also tried to see if the veneers were loose but they are stuck on. They were x-rayed too and the only thing was a black area under one veneer which the dentist said was probably a thicker bit of the cement. The noise is definitely from my veneered teeth and I didn’t have it with my old veneers only my new ones. I notice the sounds mainly after I’ve had soup or coffee or brushed my teeth but not only then. It’s really puzzling and my dentist is at the point where he has run out of ideas for what is causing this. Have you ever heard of this kind of problem with veneers?
