My veneer

So I was just lightly (seriously … I was barely biting down) rolling the end of a pen around on the edge of my teeth (kind of a nervous habit I do when I’m in meetings), when I heard a funny sound. I raced to the washroom. It turns out my front veneer has cracked. :( It hasn’t fallen out, and you can’t tell that it’s cracked when you look at my teeth (I asked a couple of my co-workers to look) … but a tiny corner kind of partially lifts off.

I called my regular dentist (in my home town), and their office is closed until Saturday. So I’m trying to call local dentist offices around here … hopefully there’s someone who can just slap some more cement on the back of it and I can be on my way.

Not happy.

***EDIT***
I made an appointment tomorrow afternoon to see a dentist kind of by my house. I think it’s the same dentist BF goes to. Hopefully this is a quick fix, because I do not want to be paying another $1,000 to get a whole new veneer put in place. Although, I guess if I do have to get a whole new veneer, I would go back to my regular dentist, since they were the ones who put the veneer in, and she knew it was very thin to begin with (she broke the first veneer in half, which delayed the process by a couple of days) … so I’m sure they would at least compensate some of the cost … but this is the kind of thing they should be doing for free. A veneer should be stronger than that.

BTW, when I first got the veneer in place, the insurance company rejected the claim for it to be covered under medical. They said it was strictly a cosmetic procedure. Which, I guess it is? But it still totally sucked having to pay $1,000 for one stupid tooth.
