im getting veneers on my upper four front teeth. can i still wear my retainers even though the veneers are on or will the retainer damage the veneers? oh yeah! and will i be able to bite into a burger with the four veneers on my front teeth?
Veneers and retainers?
You will probably need to get impressions for a new retainer, or maybe your dentist can adjust the one you have to the way your veneers will be sitting. And yes you will be able to bite into a hamburger. I wouldn't bite into a candy apple though :-O. Make sure you have before and after photos!

Have my dental veneers moved in my mouth?
Hi,
I could do with abit of advice.
3 months ago, I had 4 veneers and a crown done on my upper teeth which I was happy with at the time. I went back a couple of weeks later as I thought they had changed colour.
My dentist advised me, that doesn't happen with poreclain veneers and put it down to me being paranoid.
I purchased some supersmile which was great and found they looked brighter than they did before.
In the last couple of weeks I've noticed that 2 of the 4 veneers (the front 2) look darker than the other 2. I don't understand why that would be, if they were all made together and are supposedly of the same colour shade, in the same light they should look the same.
I've also noticed in the last couple of weeks, my bite has changed slightly.
I dont know whether I've been grinding them while I've been sleeping but I can see the
difference when I smile. They were straight when I had them first done, now my front 2 teeth are not aligned and also another has started to lean outwards on the side.
I have booked myself to go back to the Dentist next week as I would like another veneer
doing on another tooth, however I'm going to have to raise my concerns regarding the ones
she's already done.
Have the veneers shifted or has my teeth?
What can the dentist do to fix it? Can they get the veneers off to realign them or
would I have to spend another £2K to get them done again, which I won't be happy about doing!
I know I'm going to see her next week but a heads up on some of the questions I've got
may prepare me.
thanks

The only thing I can think of with your veneers changing colour is that some of them are thicker than the others, therefore more colour from your orginal tooth is showing through the thinner ones and maker it appear darker. As your dentist said, veneers will not change colour, so it would be your real tooth. As for them moving, thats kinda big deal because they obviously shouldn't do that! You shouldn't have to pay for them again though, as your dentist should reattach them or suggest another plan depending on the situation. Just be firm with what you want and don't back down or be afraid. You paid good money for these teeth and are entitled to get your moneys worth! Good Luck!!!

Veneers reassurance?
Hi,
I had 5 veneers done on my upper front teeth a couple of months ago. I make extra sure I keep them in tip top condition, even if one of them has now misaligned and am going back to see my dentist on Friday, anyway that's a different issue!
I have a question in regards to colour. I use Supersmile to keep them looking as good as possible but am paranoid sometimes they aren't bright enough as they used to be and have doubts they are good quality?
In certain light they look yellow and dark, or is this me being paranoid? I can take a photo with my digital camera in the same light and they look ok and white? is the camera deceiving tho? In natural light in the daytime they look white and in the dark like in a club they are bright. Is this the way veneers should be with different types of light?
Should I have gone to a diff dentist for more expensive veneers?is this why the cost varies so much? They cost between £200 and £800 here in the UK, i paid £200 per veneer
Veneers reassurance?
I don't know prices in UK but as with almost anything in life, you get what you pay for. If you searched out for the cheapest ones, well that person has a lower price for one of two reasons, or both reasons. #1 they are not confident/good at doing veneers. #2 they are using a cheap lab, cheap lab=less talented lab tech, and/or using cheap materials.
Reply:The difference is not the dentist but on the matrial used. You should have opted for a more stable material such as porcelain. Resins, especially self curing ones get easily discolored.
Unlike them, porcelain has 3 layers of base, opaquer, and metal to equalize any change in color.
Hope this helps.

Veneers (sorry if i have mis spelt it)?
I was just wondering.. can veneers be used for any gaps.. no matter how small or large they are? Or are there some instances where veneers cant be used? I have a gap in my teeth and was hoping to use veneers to close it but it is abit of a sticky situation because when I bite a tooth from the bottom is obstructing where I think the veneer is meant to go. Hope this makes sense!
Veneers (sorry if i have mis spelt it)?
This is a very tricky situation because the bottom teeth are obstructing the place of the intended veneer. Veneer is not a very strong material, it is either made of porcelain or composite. If the force generate by the lower teeth is great, it may fracture the veneer. Visit your dentist and see what he can do, he may need to do crowns instead. Porcelain crown will work well in your case, but more tooth structure will be ground away. It will be a waste depending on your point of view. Either way , you have to think very carefully and whether the treatment will be successful depends heavily on the expertise of your dentist. See a prosthodonist instead, they have better knowledge on this situation than a general practitioner, but they cost more.
Reply:i dont really understand ur question, but they can be used to close gaps, if ur gap is really big they may only be able to make it smaller (other wise ull look like u have horse teeth. As far as your other tooth overlapping, they can file it down.

Help me appriciated Thanx Guys!!(HONEST AWNSERS)
Veneers!questions?
The real veneers will and should look perfect. If not tell your dentist BEFORE he cements the final veneers. and ask for them to be changed, which will take another 2 weeks. (has to be resent to the dental lab for the changes)
You have temps because a dental lab has to make the final veneers, which takes 2-3 weeks.
You want them to take a few week so that they can and will look perfect. The veneers are a very complex procedure using porclean and a porclean oven to make them. The actual procedure is very precise and complex, but trust me you want it done this way and not done the same day.
If you need more info you can email me at docfrankie@hotmail.com
Reply:They need to removed tooth structure from the front of your tooth to make room for the porcelain veneers. Be happy that you only have to wait two weeks for your veneers; at my office you have to wait a month! Sorry that you don't like your temporaries but they are only there for a short amount of time. Usually, the temps look a bit like your teeth before they were prepped for the veneers.
Reply:They have to be made by technicians in a dental laboratory. Remember the goo the dentist put in your mouth? This was to get an impression of your teeth so they could make an exact replica of your teeth for use in the lab. The "real" veneers are custom made, just for you, and this takes a while.
If you could just take some "off the rack" and glue them in, they'd be a lot cheaper.
Reply:I just got my veneers a week ago and was in my temps for 3 weeks. I really liked my temps and they did not cause any sensitivity or fear for them falling out! (keep in mind I am one of those VERY sensitive-teeth people). Honestly, the temps were better looking than my natural teeth so I was pretty happy with them......altho I did notice around week 2 that they seemed a little opaque (solid......not translucent.....such as plastic is). They put u in temps so u can adjust the temps as you want your veneers to be and then they take that mold of them and the mold is what the ceramiscist works from. VERY IMPORTANT and useful steps I think. And, when my veneers came in I did NOT like them and my doctor sent them back gladly to have the lab make another set. The second set now live in my mouth and I LOVE them :) They match my natural teeth EXACTLY it's quite amazing. Anyhow, hang in there......consider your temps 60% of what your veneers will be. And if the veneers don't look "right", SEND EM BACK!! Your dentist should be glad to do it :) Best of luck and congrats on your new beautiful veneers!

How long do veneers last & is the grinding part painful? If veneers fall off, how will the grinded teeth look?
My cosmetic dentist told me that at my age of 15 (4 months from 16) that veneers are the best solution to the space in between my 2 front teeth (about 2-3.5 mm. of space?) But my parents are worried about the grinding procedure. They have heard that it is painful %26amp; if the veneers fall off, then my grinded teeth will look even more awful %26amp; that they will have to pay AGAIN for new veneers to get my teeth fixed. Also, are there any other solutions to fixing my 2 front teeth (besides braces)? I also wanted veneers because my teeth have gotten stained over the years %26amp; veneers would be a good solution. The before %26amp; after pics look great, but I'm sure the feeling in your mouth is different. Does the feeling take a long time to get used to? What do the temporary veneers look like? Will they look just like my "permanent" veneers but just temporary?
How long do veneers last %26amp; is the grinding part painful? If veneers fall off, how will the grinded teeth look?
I have several veneers on my side front teeth and back. When they shave down your teeth it didn't hurt because they numbed me beforehand. They do run the risk of chipping or having to be replaced over time though. It's best to avoid biting into hard things. Like if you eat an apple, better to cut them up. If you are a night grinder, ask about a night guard. Go to a reputable one. Some veneers are placed on badly and look too big/small or don't match your teeth color. I've had 1 replaced due to this. Once you have them on, spend a good 5 mins or more looking in the mirror saying exaggerated words or letters. Smile and look from the side, front and laugh. That way if anything's off, they can fix it right there. But you should be able to go back and do adjustments at no charge. It took me about a week to get use to. I kept running my tongue over them, lol. Before they match the colors, they may ask you if you would like to do teeth whitening. Because veneer colors are hard to change after they're put on. Other alternatives are Lumineers, bonding or braces. Lumineers, I have two in the front to cover a gap, doesn't require shaving and no numbing. It is pricey though. Mines were $1600 each. There's bonding also. I got those to cover tiny gaps. They ran me about $200-$350 each. They can get stained overtime though. Braces cost me $5000 but even after, gaps formed later on. If it is staining, strips, trays or laser whitening may help. Otc strips cost about $30. I am currently on ones from my dentist and they're $100. Trays were very effective for me and cost $300. You just buy the refills and have the convenience of doing it at home if you see stains appear. Laser runs about $500-$1000. I haven't tried this but seen great results on 2 friends. Prices in So. Ca. Of course, prices vary from dentist to dentist and best to ask what your dentist recommends. =) Be sure to get reg cleanings. Veneers can get slight staining overtime. But not too bad. They did boost my confidence A LOT. I smiled a lot more. Good luck!
Reply:don't do it.
veneers are really really bad!!!!
You'll be wearing dentures by the time you're 30. or sooner.
Reply:Seems like a drastic measure for such minor problems. The gap in your teeth is very small. When you're somewhere between 19-21 or so, your wisdom teeth will come in. These will push your front teeth together. As for the teeth stains, some simple whitening treatments should work.
Just from my own personal experience, when a dentist starts working on healthy teeth, they end up unhealthy and needing more work in the future.
A couple of things to think about:
Because the enamel has to be removed, your tooth may become more sensitive to hot and cold food or drinks.
Yes, veneers can fall off. It's not common but it can happen. Your dentist will probably tell you not bite your nails; chew on pencils, ice, or other hard objects; or otherwise put pressure on your teeth.
Reply:I have veneers, but I am well over 15. This is a cosmetic solution to your problem and may even be more costly than braces. You are only 15, go for the braces. Veneers only last about 10 years and have to be replaced. And yes, your teeth need to go through a grinding procedure to make them fit. And yes it is not painless (though they do give you Novocain). I am still grinding my teeth at night. I have to wear a night guard to protect my veneers, which is another cost. Have your parents spend the money on braces. Then get your teeth whitened. When you get older, you can buy veneers if you are still unsatisfied with the way your teeth look.
Reply:there is another option..you could get crowns...they look good..seen them done..think they are cheaper...and they do last longer..no risk of chipping and breaking them..veneers do look great but there is a big chance on them chipping and breaking or just falling off..many patients who have that done come in because they've fallen off or broke..too much money and agrivation to get new ones..they do look nice but ask about the option of crowns..they will last longer and you wont have to worry as much with them..with veneers you can never bite into anything you would have to slice an apple and eat it that bite into it.but to answer your questions the temporarys look like veneers just temporary, you are right....andthe dentist will give you novicaine so you dont feel anything...if you do dont be afraid to ask for more..you can also get sweet air to calm your nerves during the procedure as well to help you relax more...in either case they grind your teeth down to stubbs...i had this done four time...as long as you are nimb it doesnt hurt, not lying..and i like the sweet air:) at least with crowns you wont have the worry of them falling off as much as you do with veneers..
Reply:I would recommend not getting the veneers. I have heard horror stories and seen terrible results. If you absolutely are dead set on veneers make sure you are going to an excellent and reputable cosmetic dentist. Once you get veneers done you can reverse the process!!! However, by the sounds of it, your teeth are healthy. Stains can be fixed. By strips at your local walmart. If those aren't strong enough, ask you dentist to bleach your teeth to make them whiter. Also, if you are dead-set against braces you might try invisalign. A gap inbetween the front teeth isn't a big deal and could most likely be fixed in a much easier fashion than veneers.

Why veneers won't last?
I've seen from the internet and in here that people say it can last 10, 20 years or more depends if the person take good care of it.
So why they won't last? Is it after many years the veneers material worn down(so it chipped or break)? Or the cement between teeth and veneers not strong enough that after many years it will just pop out or fall off? Anyone know which case occurred the most that the veneers won't last or need to be replace?
Also regarding color, the internet said u can choose the color that match your teeth but I like to know how they do the color? Do they just paint it on the veneers so it match? If I choose it wrong, then can I ask them to change it during the last appointment?
I've chipped teeth and if I do veneers then it will look maybe half or more than half will be veneers. Will it still be strong enough?
I hope someone will understand what I'm saying and can answer me.
Thank you.
Why veneers won't last?
There is no a dental restoration that last a life time, is a prosthetic and the mouth contains a lot of bacteria and a lot chemical changes happen there that over time it will decrease the durability of the dental prosthetic.
However, having a good oral hygiene elongates the life of the veneer in this case.
The veeners are made at a dental laboratory, the dentist has to choose a correct shade (shade guide) for your teeth, usually the dentist chooses the color and then its sent to the lab to be made. You can not change the color, that is why make sure you are comfortable with it the day of your appointment.( Dentist usually choose the best color following the shade of your other teeth).
Veneers usually cover the tooth giving it a very natural appearance, they are made of porcelain most of the time and it looks so real ,they look very good but is up to you to take care of them, keep your cleaning appointments every 6 months so they can keep track of them and improve you oral hygiene at home.
Hope it helps!
Reply:Venner does not change the color, the natural tooth does. Depending on your age, and your habbits teeth stain and if you had veneers done you will need to keep the color checked periodicly and maybe whiten the teeth for them to match the veneers.
