The search for composite teeth (instead of veneers) in Florida

[Ratfancy]

Twenty years ago (in Florida) I had two composite veneers put on my eye teeth for cosmetic reasons. I have an open bite so there is no pressure on my front upper teeth. One veneer is still there and the other fell off recently. So I want it replaced. I visited my dentist who wanted to do $12,000 of work on 4 upper front teeth. So I went to a cosmetic dentist who quoted $7,000 for veneers. I paid about $250 for both composite veneers about 20 years ago. All I want is the same thing!! But dentists say they won't do that - old procedure, blah blah. I guess they don't want their reputations tarnished by veneers that might discolor or won't last forever. Any advice for me?

Go to another dentist that is willing to do the resin veneers. Stay away from practices that specialize in cosmetic procedures only. You will have to phone around.

What are resin veneers? I know what composite veneers are, but resin?

Resin is just another name for composite.
