Persistent pain after getting veneers - advice? (photos)

Question

Hello.. I got 20 porcelain veneers done along with 4 of my molars (2 on each bottom) silver fillings replaced with white. This was done out of the country so i cannot go back. ive done 3 bite corrections but the issue has not resolved. My family dentist put me on antibiotics even though I dont have any signs of infections but she said because i have continuous discomfort. It feels extremely sore and achey especially when i eat. My 4 bottom teeth are also wiggling when i touch it?? please help

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing discomfort and wiggling of your teeth after getting porcelain veneers and fillings done abroad. It sounds like you may have some issues with the fit, alignment, bite, or bonding of your restorations. Antibiotics may not be enough to address the underlying problem, and you may need to see a dentist who can evaluate your bite and adjust or replace your veneers and fillings if necessary. Wiggling teeth can indicate damage to the tooth structure or the supporting bone and gum tissue, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.  It is very possible that your occlusion or bite is heavily hitting on those teeth.  I would advise you to seek professional dental care as soon as possible to prevent further complications and preserve your oral health.

Traveling to another country for Cheaper Cosmetic Dentistry may seem like a good idea but as you can see can be problematic at best.  Constant pain is never a good thing and loose lower anterior teeth rarely indicates anything but serious problems.
Get in to see a reputable cosmetic dentist and get to the bottom of the problem as soon as you can.  Time is of the essence!
