Sometimes the dentist in awe is the dentist with no knowledge

Lance Timmerman, DMD answers: Sensitivity and pain after veneer preparation

I got my gap bonded 8 years ago. The dentist who did it shaved off too much of my tooth. I went to another dentist who I still see. She was in awe at the amount of tooth removed. After repeated bonding, my dentist said we need to go to veneers. Now I have my temp on but had to go get a new impression and I have never had so much pain in my life. The teeth are very sensitive. Do I need a root canal? Please let me know what you think.

Many dentists don't know how to do cosmetic dentistry, so when a fantastic case stares them in the face they don't know how to react. Just because the dentist expressed shock does not mean the original dentist was wrong. It is VERY possible that the new dentist simply doesn't know up from down.

Most dentists have no clue about cosmetics.
