Denver Porcelain Veneers doctors

You have the right suspicion.

Patients wind up in my office all the time because they are disappointed with the veneers they have had in other offices. If you are on an extreme budget AND you have terrible teeth, then maybe it's worth the gamble to make a major improvement in your smile.

Otherwise, like any other cosmetic procedure. Think carefully about what you want to change and improve. Think carefully and communicate with your cosmetic dentist about what you are expecting BEFORE you begin. My hunch is that these steps will be bypassed for this discounted fee.

Porcelain veneers CAN be removed. Though the process of making veneers is actually designed to make them stay adhered for many years. In general, veneers can be a treatment that lasts 5 to even 20 years.

The problem you are describing is that you are disappointed with your veneers. This is a difficult place to be. First, start with a calm, objective conversation with your dentist. Explain without emotions and accusations, what concerns you have about how your porcelain veneers turned out. Then stop and listen. Try to find a workable solution. There may be some difficult choices.

You are in a place where there are no easy solutions. I would not make any decisions lightly about having your veneers removed. I would do that only as a last option.

If you don't seem to be working toward a productive solution with your dentist, you may want to get a second opinion from a cosmetic dentist. It's very important for him to know your list of what you expect before you start. It's also important that you listen to his list of what to expect. Great cosmetic dentistry is hard to do, takes lots of practice and education, and takes a fantastic ceramist-which can be expensive.

A good cosmetic dentist will help build your confidence at each step of the process. 

Some root canal teeth turn dark inside. Internal bleaching is a way to lighten the color of a dead tooth from the inside. It can take multiple sessions and you can achieve a substantial improvement.

After more than 20 years as a cosmetic dentist in Denver, I have done less and less internal whitening. While many teeth can be lightened to a nice result, this type of whitening also has a lot of fading and these teeth tend to get gray again fairly quickly. 

The beauty of porcelain veneers comes from their ability to let a lot of the natural light come through your tooth and the veneer. In your situation, the cosmetic dentist and the lab will want to block more of that internal color and make your veneer so it is not susceptible to the internal color changes.

At this point in your care, I would not worry about doing any more internal whitening.

You have nice looking teeth, so the veneers will make for a very nice result. Make sure that you and your cosmetic dentist really look at everything that shows in your full smile. Right now I understand that you are really focused on the two lateral dark teeth. When those are changed you will probably notice your front teeth more. Since your two front teeth are not exactly even, make sure that you and he have discussed what the final result will look like.
