I have had 6 veneers put on and 1 by 1 they are popping off!!! My bite has been checked and rechecked. Also, I wear a night guard EVERY night. My dentist, who is as frustrated as I am, used Kerr glue brand, but I was wondering if there is a better success rate with a different brand. Please help me,,,,,It's embarrassing losing a veneer in public. Thanks!

Answer: Veneers popping off There is not 1 simple answer to this question and many variables need to be addressed.1. The amount of enamel that remains on your tooth after porcelain veneer preparation. Only a skilled cosmetic dentist can answer and address this. Sometimes when all other factors are addressed, it may be necessary to do a conservative porcelain crown instead of a veneer2. If you wear your nightguard you still may be clenching or grinding during the day. The bite (occlusion) must be evaluated and addressed properly3. When the veneers come off and are rebonded, it is often difficult to completely remove all the old adhesive from the inside of the veneer and the tooth. This must be done to insure proper rebonding. As well as chemically treat the inside of the veneer again with a porcelain etchant, and etch and prime the remaining tooth structure with the proper solutions.Steven M. Goldy, DDS

Answer: Really has nothing to do with the glue. Sounds like a bond failure This could be a number of things. Kerr is a reputable company. Honestly, most bonded adhesive cements are pretty comparable, so it's probably not the cement. Could be a bond failure with the first layer of adhesive called the "bonding agent." This basically turns something organic (like a tooth) into a hybridized system that can be bonded to (cement). The bonding process - before the cement - is the most technique-sensitive portion.
