I had 4 veneers installed 16 months ago. One has come off 8 times. It was lost and a replaced free of charge the fourth time it came off. It just came off again this weekend. Is the original dentist still responsible to recement the veneer and replace it if it is lost? If so, how long is he responsible? Even if his agreement says one year, shouldn't he still be responsible due to the ongoing issues? It came off the first time less than a month after the initial treatment. The other 3 are fine.

Answer: Veneer has come off 8 times in less than a year and a half!
Obviously something is wrong with that particular tooth and veneer since the others the dentist placed are fine! But to answer your questions you presented, the dentist has no repsonsibility to replace a veneer or even recement a veneer without charging you. If you have an agreement in place that says one year, that is what he will stand by. He might have a moral responsibility, but not a legal one. Why not go to another dentist for a consultation regarding the problem you are having with that veneer? Another professional opinion might be helpful. Also you have two choices here, continue to go back to the same dentist and have it fall out, or find another one who can do it correctly or tell you exactly what is going on with that particular tooth. Sometimes the frustration is not worth it! I am so sorry this has happened to you...veneers are expensive and you want to have them work and look beautiful and you have had nothing but aggravation.

Answer: Porcelain Veneer has Come Off 8 Times
Another possibility is that the tooth in question just does not have adequate enamel to bond to. In that case, you would need a full coverage crown.
