I had a lateral incisor veneer refixed after it came off 4 weeks ago but it doesnt feel right especially when talking or eating. Its sensitive, feels "loose" making clicking and cracking noises, which sometimes hurt. The gum is also inflammed. It felt like a natural tooth before and now all i do is worry it will fall off again! What can i do to fix this? The dentist says it looks fine. I am at the point of having the whole tooth removed. I got this for confidence and now regret it.

First a radiograph would be better than a photo. Ask your dentist if a gap is present sometime a tooth colored filling will be all that is needed, if not the veneer can be replaced. Don't confuse open margins or gap with gum recession. Good Luck
