UNHAPPY With Veneers - Chicago, IL

ORIGINAL POST

Very unhappy with the results, I had upper 6 done...

$1,400

Very unhappy with the results, I had upper 6 done 2 weeks a go It's the 2nd time and still didn't get the look I want, I asked him if I have to pay more i do not mind you only get this done once in your lifetime I wanted done right.

I am so confused, Not sure if these are even Veneers so inexpensive for 6. My own smile looked a lot better and natural. These are bulky not white like he said they would be and spaces in between the tooth.

Called office left a massage to go back and haven't heard back.

That does seem like a really inexpensive price for veneers. Did the dentist "prep" your teeth (shave them down) before placing the veneers?

Hello Megan- Thank you for replying to my comment above, Yes, he did prep and shave them down, I'm going back to talk to him, Ive heard that its really hard to remove veneers do you know anything about that? also you could damage the root of your teeth, don't know if that's true. I'm really concerned he's been my dentist for 10 years and he was the one to recommend veneers and I said sure thinking my smile will change dramatically but it didn't. I think I look worst then before. Any idea what I should do? I'm thinking to go get second opinion but I don't know if any of the dentist would want to do any work with me after I remove the one I have now. Thanks again!! Hope

Hi Hope,

I'm sorry for the late reply, I just saw this.

Here is a Q&A that will help answer your questions about replacing the veneers:

How Do Dental Veneers Get Replaced?

I would definitely encourage you to get a second opinion. It certainly wouldn't hurt to hear another dentist's take on what can be done.

I paid $1200+ per tooth

My Dentist charges $1,200 per tooth also, he said he gave me a big discount from what I have to pay out of my pocket and some of the work he's doing the insurance is paying... don't know how he is claiming it this is cosmetic the insurance usually don't pay for cosmetic.

where are you located?

I think your teeth look great...I have a few veneers and they are very bulky but not much I can do, I dont even notice the spaces in your teeth until you point them out.

I'm sorry. This has made me really check out and ask a lot of questions.

Does your dentist have training to do cosmetic work? I honestly wouldn't pay another penny to him. If he said these look good and cemented them then he doesn't know any better. The lab he uses is probably not that good either. These looked like some sort of pressed ceramic work with very little artistry. The veneers are bulking and they lack transparency and they do not look anything like your natural teeth or shade. I also question the dental lab's work because you point out how a tooth is crooked and the gaps...as well it looks like your central's smile line is off. I'd try to get a refund (but highly doubt that's going to be possible) and find a cosmetic dentist that knows what he's doing.
