Thanks Markowitzman. The whole thing about veneers chipping is a worry for me. I have decided I might get a second opinion and see if a brace on my lower teeth might me an alternative option. I'm absolutely petrified of dentists so the thought of any kind of "advanced dentistry" has my stomach in knots. The nine fillings are the most important things to rectify really. The veneers are cosmetic so perhaps if a brace was an option, this might be a better route to go as I wouldn't just be "masking" the problem. Also, I wonder about the maintenance factor with veneers.markowitzman said:veneers can and do chip.
Getting 6 done is advanced dentistry and needs very careful construction and analysis of the bite.
no long term research to support this treatment and is still experimental.......sorry to dampen your enthusiasm for this umop but this technology was hearlded with a blaze of publicity but results are questionable and has not been adopted by any dental schools etc.Consider healozone for your fillings.

Re the fillings I would advise conventional fillings rather than healozone based on current research.
I was actually at the conference that launched it by Prof Ed Lynch and as such have kept abreast of it's development.Have you any experience with this new ozone treatment?
we try not to base our decisions on opinions but on hard science which as per the link given (NICE above) is questionable. Until clear benefit is shown would be cautious about it's use in practice.Is it your opinion that it doesn't work at all?

not really a multicenter double blind randomised controlled trial of at least 5 years duration is the gold standard of evidence-based . Machine about 12k which is not huge in dental equipment terms!The healozone machine is fairly expensive and in direct competition with existing expertise and methods, so it will probably be hard to get a truely independent study.
would be delighted if it was found to work as would make my job much easier!......without long term data it is a shot in the dark.You haven't damped my enthusiasm.
