Question

Hi , I was advised by my dentist to have 20 veneers to fix my bite and color, I m 46 .I need our opinion of the design and color as I was going to bleach shade but my doctor and the lab advised with the B1 natural color for my design and teeth I enjoyed as I have a big smile .I had a smooth process a month ago, but still have some sensitivity specially in front teeth with cold and hot food, please advise is it normal? I got my night guard and using proper toothpaste and wash .Thank you

I think your dentist did a great job.  I like the shade selection and the overall appearance of them looks nice.  Sensitivity can be normal for the first month or two, but I usually recommend Motrin over the counter to help reduce sensitivity with my patients.I hope this helps,Dr. Sarah Thompson

Emery Cole, DMD, FAGD · Answer

I like the result but the question is DO YOU like the result?  Your teeth and lips complement the smile very nicely and B1 is a great light natural shade.You had a noticeable open bite and the upper 4 front teeth had to be adjusted more aggressively to bring your front teeth "in".  They may remain sensitive for several months, hopefully getting better with time but never worse.  Even if more treatment is needed for sensitivity, it should not effect your beautiful smile.

Wow.  They look great in the pictures!  A dramatic improvement.  B1 is a very pretty color for most people and will look natural as you get into your 50's and 60's.  Going to "white" is a common mistake that rookie cosmetic dentists make.  Stick with the B1, very pretty.Sensitivity is normal at first.  Stay away from really cold or hot foods and drinks.  Usually this subsides within after a month or two.  Make sure to let your dentist know as it may be related to your bite.  Checking your new bite on a T-Scan is very helpful to determine whether it is balanced or not.  Also use a desensitizing toothpaste like ProNamel (you can get this over the counter).  Bottom line is it looks by the pictures like your dentist hit a homerun. Congratulations.

Hi:
Overall the color and the design of the veneers look good.  A full face picture would also help.  There are times there is sensitivity with veneers for up to 6-8 weeks depending on how much tooth structure was removed providing the bite is ok and clenching or grinding pressure is being controlled with a night guard.
Best,
Dr. Maddahi

Not sure why you are having sensitivity from veneers unless the dentist prepared the teeth into dentin. As for color and shape, what is most important is what you think. I always make preliminary veneers before going to the final ones to test the patient's reaction and preferences.
