Hi all, I have 8 porcelain veneers on my top teeth. I am unhappy with my never ending bite issues (tried it all, adjustments, mouth guard) and shade (current is B2). I've heard that you can only redo them so many times because each time more enamel must be removed. This is worrying me. What does this mean for me if I choose to redo them? That the bond won't be strong? That they will fall off? Is this now a risk? Finally, what do you think of my current veneers? Are they well done? Thanks

Answer: Redoing veneers It is true that every time restorations are redone there is the risk of more tooth structure being removed. It is possible that the bond will not be as strong but it also traumatic to the tooth and can cause the need for root canals in the future. From the pictures posted it is impossible to determine the quality of your current veneers. i suggest getting a consultation by one or more reputable dentists who have experience in not just cosmetics but who understand how your bite is supposed to fit together. It is very important to have a comfortable and healthy bite as part of the new outcome of your case.

Answer: Redoing veneers a good idea? If they are removed carefully under magnification, only a slight amount of additional tooth structure will be lost. A lot depends on how they were first prepped. The veneers look okay, but not outstanding. You should be able to get a better result with an experienced cosmetic dentist.
