    Default Veneers on NHS to change tooth colour

    Hi all....i'm new to this forum and looking for some advice,

    I hadn't been to the dentist for 3 years....shame i know!!... however i had a painful wisdom tooth and decided i better go, whilst there i was given antibotics and told that having not been to dentist in 3 years my teeth were really good and only needed a filling replaced and possible veneers on front 2 teeth to improve colour.

    However i am an excempt nhs patient and now after looking at the previous posters i am worried that the veneers wont be able to be done with the excemption that i have. I am assuming my dentist knew this before suggesting them, surely now she wouldn't be able to say i can't have them done??

    What other options to i have to improve colour if the dentist changes mind and says i can't have them unless i pay!!!!

    Thanx I x

    I would recommend you share your concerns with your dentist to clarify things.

    Stained, discoloured teeth can be improved with:
    - micro-abrasion
    - white fillings
    - veneers
    - crowns
    - teeth whitening (done only privately)

    Obviously it is difficult to say what is the best treatment for you without doing a full check-up.

    Remember that private veneers and crowns are made of more hugh quality materials and are more natural looking that the NHS ones.

    Best of Luck
