Depressed and Upset After Veneers

I actually joined this site to gather some information on porcelain veneers for my two front teeth I had chipped when I was much younger. Here's my review http://www.realself.com/review/porcelain-veneers-depressed-and-upset-after-veneers . I really regret the decision. Not only due I regret having so much healthy enamel drilled away so brutally, but they are not comfortable. Porcelain will never feel like tooth enamel. My front two teeth were also painful and sensitive for quite a while following the procedure. In my opinion they are just not worth the future risks. They can chip, crack and leave one very susceptible to decay and root canals. I wish I never heard of veneers. I'm completely in agreement with what you said, I'd do anything to get my old teeth back. Cosmetic or not!! I just don't care!!

You are truly a beautiful, brave and remarkable woman. Thank you for warning others. I don't think any of us can even begin to imagine the horror and trauma of everything you have been through. If you don't mind my asking, why did you decide to replace your teeth with porcelain veneers? Was it purely cosmetic or for functional purposes as well?

Also I chose the wrong dentist who prepped my front two teeth more like he was giving me crowns, which I'm happy you've warned others about. True veneers require slight reduction in tooth structure,

I'm glad that you have written about this procedure accurately and pragmatically. Your last paragraph is very true, I did NOT look at my teeth in the mirror every day or think about about how much I hated them. I was for the most part fine with my teeth. I just wanted the chips in my front two teeth to be corrected. I guess I was better suited for something like bonding which is irreversible. Great review.

When I gently apply pressure to the veneer the upper right corner hurts however no other point on the veneer hurts if pressure is applied.
