Clearly there is some sort of bonding problem. 6 veneers, 3 of which have failed within a week of application. At this point, I don't know if it's something I'm doing (in my sleep perhaps?) or if the UV-cured cement the dentist is using is somehow contaminated or what. I've lost all confidence in the veneers that have yet to come loose. I didn't really expect them to last 50 years but I did kinda expect them to last more than 5 days...

pics before and after?

wow, I remember they were like $100 each way back when, and I thought it was expensive then. I might need one as one of my front teeth is off color a bit, and I don't think I can just get one as it might not match the rest of my teeth...
