Has anyone had their teeth done either veneers or composite. I had an accident a few years ago and i chipped my 2 top front teeth, i had route canals done but they have both come loose (which my dentist did warn me about, it was never going to be long term because of the damage to my teeth). I'm now looking into getting either veneers or composite bonding, has anyone had this done in the uk or abroad? I know its expensive so I'm hoping to do it on finance if it comes to more than what I've saved. Any recommended dentists? Anything i should specifically ask when looking at different dental clinics? I've become so paranoid about my teeth I really want them done but just don't know where to start looking.

I've had composite bonding on a top front tooth and another next to it. Both were chipped and uneven. Cost me £90 per tooth which I thought was very reasonable - way cheaper than porcelain veneers. I also had my teeth whitened before getting them done for an overall better look.
I'm really happy with them, it's given me loads of confidence back. only thing I would say is composite doesn't look exactly like real tooth enamel - it's a little duller but no one except me would really notice the difference. and also it's prone to staining quicker.
When I was looking to get mine done I looked on a few local dentists websites to see examples of their work, then went for a couple of consultations before settling on the dentist I used.

I had my teeth crowned in Goa, India about 2.5. years ago and my husband had his done last year. We both had the same number done - 20 - and it cost us 2 thousand 3 hundred pounds each and must say it is the best thing I have spent that amount of money on. It would have cost us loads more money in UK. When we were in Budapest last year there were quite a few UK ladies staying in the same hotel and when we got talking to them all of them were there for dental work and some of them had had previous work and were there with friends or to have more work done.
If your root canals are loose then surely sticking something on top of them wont work? Surely it would be implants that you would need? or a bridge of some type?
where are you located? I can recommend a place in Liverpool for composite bonding for a chipped tooth. Was a gorgeous clinic and there was no hard sell for other services despite my teeth being crooked, they didn’t pressure me into rectifying that and said everyone’s smile should be individual. I agree with the previous poster that it can look a bit duller than natural teeth but now I rinse after I have coffee etc. Think I paid just under £300 a couple of years ago
Im down south but am willing to travel, theres so many celeb endorsed dentist which im just so unsure about. Generally my teeth are pretty strong and good condition its literally just my 2 top front ones that need work doing.
I popped in for a consultation with my normal dentist and he said its definitely a possibility i would be able to have them done either a veneer or a crown but it isn't something they will be doing for a while due to covid and a huge backlog they arent offering any cosmetics until they are up to date, he said the tooth is in good condition other than the chip . So I'm just looking into different options. Ill definitely have a few consultations with different dentists to see what they think.

check ollieanddarsh in Liverpool on Instagram- they don’t give freebies etc to celebs but they do have some high profile clientele. Definitely recommend. I think now they’re also doing zoom or skype consultations so don’t need any unnecessary journeys up North first
I'm British but live in the Czech republic. The dental practice i've been here to was very good so might be another location to consider.
