What to do with chipped dental veneer?

Q. Hi, I am 36, I had 6 front veneers on the nhs when I was 19. They are now of course falling apart and chipping. My dentist has given me many patch up jobs with fillings to hide the gaps. I am 33 weeks pregnant and today, one of my front teeth veneers chipped. I wondered if I would be able to ask my dentist to just replace the front 6 veneers for me? I think if I have just one replaced it will look odd. Would he charge me? I don’t think I would be able to get credit accepted! Also I found it very painful the first time and wonder if I should wait till after I have the baby? Many thanks,
A. You would have to speak to your dentist about that I am not sure if all 6 could be replaced if they are still healthy.  However I agree that if one needs to be replaced it can be better to have them all redone.
