    Default venner keeps coming off, should i keep paying?

    Hi,
    I had a porcelin veneer put on my front tooth about a year ago and since then it has come off about 4 times. When i have found it i have simply had it recemented, however when i haven't i have had to pay to have a new one made. The veneer has just come off again and i'm wondering whether i have to keep paying for a new one to be fixed or if the dentist should be fitting the bill for giving me a faulty product.

    thanks in advance.

    i guess it depends why the veneer is coming off, and if its only fallen off after 4 years then i would think you would be paying for it, some dentists offer a 5 year guarantee for veneers and crowns. Also you may have a bite (occlusion) or tooth grinding problem that needs to be address. I would express you concerns to your dentist.

    4 x in one year

    I think you should cut your losses and see someone else. We guarantee 3 yrs unconditionally and 5 yrs if you have been a regular attender
