Why Won't my 6 Front Top Veneers Stay On?

They have popped off 1 by 1! I have had them reglued and then remade and new ones put on. My dentist claims that he is using white, top of the line glue! I can not bite anything, even soft foods. If I would have known I really can not bite anything at all, I definitely wouldn't have done this! Help.....Do I take my last veneer that popped off and see another dentist? I really like my dentist, but this is upsetting, since I never know when it will come off in public! .

Porcelain Veneers and Longevity

There can be a number of reasons that your veneers are popping off: 1) The veneers were not properly etched and silanated ( this is what needs to be done to the inside of the veneers prior to bonding in the mouth) 2) Improper tooth conditioning (cleaning the tooth, then etching, and placing a bonding agent) 3) Your bite or the way the teeth and veneers meet together ( most likely not this as I would not think they would all come off with a bite... more

Veneers coming off

This is very unfortunate - veneers usually have a makeover type of feeling for the patient and it doesn't sound like you're getting a realistic experience with your veneers. The problem is either the way the veneers are being bonded, the remaining tooth under the veneers, or the way your teeth fit together. It sounds like you have seen your dentist several times. I have to suggest a second opinion, even if you stay with your dentist, just find out what is going on. See... more

Are you a grinder?

I agree with Dr Neuhaus, for your description I believe it is an occlusion problem, which causes the veneers to come off that often, it means that the own force in your bite is causing it, probably combined that maybe they are not shaped in a way that the veneer can hold your bite pressure. I also agree that maybe you can have better results with crowns. I have a question, are you using a nightguard? are you a grinder? this is important info to find out what is causing them... more

Not every one is a candidate for veneers

You need to go to a neuromuscular dentist r at minimum a cosmetic dentist. Not all dentists are trained equally. veneers pop off mainly for bite issues or if there is not enough enamel to bond veneers to . Get a second opinion but from a dentist who knows his stuff and does not need the money ..... if he/she bad mouth your previous one go to another see video

^ Top Veneers Keep Popping Off

There might not have been adequate enamel on your teeth to bond veneers to. In that case, you would have done better with full crowns. Another problem might be your occlusion (the way your top and bottom teeth meet eachother). Not all dentists are well-educated in occlusion. You might want to seek a second opinion.
