veneers on front four teeth

[A1]

Hi,
I would like to request some advise on veneers. Almost a year ago, I had an accident and lost the bottom half of my two front teeth. I have had temporary filings put on them. But they are not very secure and have discoloured.

I had braces for 2 years, but due to the temporary filings, I cannot wear my retainer, therefore the next tooth in has, started to go back. I would like to get veneers, on the front four teeth. I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Thank you for your question.

Once the shape of teeth has been changed with the addition of fillings or veneers you need to have a new retainer made to stop the teeth from moving as the old retainer is unlikely to fit.

In this case, you have new composite or porcelain veneers fitted to improve the aesthetics and then have a new retainer made to keep your teeth in that position.
