I needed six new crowns for my upper front teeth, and my dentist recommended porcelain veneers for the teeth behind them. The teeth are worn, so my dentist said veneers would give me a new smile and enhance my facial appearance. Three weeks after work, a veneer fell off. The dentist says she wants to replace the two veneers with crowns because I grind my teeth. She said she made a mistake recommending veneers since I grind my teeth so hard. My dentist never told me about teeth grinding until the veneers fell off. Although she bonded the veneer back on, it\u2019s still a little loose. Do I really need crowns? Should I ask my dentist to give me a discount on the crowns since she recommended the veneers? \u2013 Thanks. Yara from NY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dentist\u2019s tooth preparation or veneer bonding technique may be the cause when porcelain veneers fall out. However, either scenario may reveal that your dentist isn\u2019t highly skilled in cosmetic dentistry. When a dentist identifies a problem after porcelain veneer placement<\/a> that he or she didn\u2019t anticipate, it is time to get a second opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, if you grind your teeth, you can still get porcelain veneers, but your dentist should have seen signs of teeth grinding and recommended a custom mouthguard<\/a> to protect your veneers. Although your dentist suggests teeth grinding is the cause, we suspect her bonding techniques may be the reason your porcelain veneer fell off. So, get a second opinion. Replacing dental veneers with crowns will require significantly reducing healthy tooth structure on your otherwise healthy teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
