I recently got veneers on the top 8. I am not happy with them! My dentist seems to think they look great. I would like professional suggestions so I can discuss with him. I don't want to seem like I'm being difficult. Please help!

Answer: Veneers Hi Gabbie! If you are not happy with your veneers, you should go back to your dentist and discuss your concerns with him. But be specific: are you not happy with the color? Is it the shape of the teeth you are unhappy with? Are you unhappy with the length and the size? Were you able to try in the veneers prior to having them permanently cemented? That is a very important step. You should have been able to seen the veneers inside your mouth and give a final approval prior to having them permanently cemented. Either way, I would discuss your concerns with your dentist.

Answer: Veneers The veneers do look very nice!Do they look better than the teeth appeared prior to the veneers?Was there any kind of agreement about the final appearance you had with your dentist prior to the veneers being done? Were the veneers tried in and you given the opportunity to view them prior to them being bonded in place? If so, did you observe the shade and arrangement and agree that all is fine?Is there a third party giving their opinion after the veneers are already bonded in place?If so, have they brought about the concerns you are now expressing?It sounds like you feel good about your new smile, but not great. You are not being difficult if you make an appointment with your dentist for a post-op check and discuss your concerns.If you feel the one lateral looks different than the other one, express that. That may be able to be corrected by pushing the lateral in on the side toward the middle of your mouth. In our office we do that with a retainer.The lower tooth may be in the way, so some adjustment may need to happen to the back of the veneer.If you feel the two laterals are a bit long, they can easily be shortened in the mouth.If you feel the appearance of the two bicuspids are not the same, I would agree with you and have to ask why not?We do not have enough info to make a guess, so you need to discuss this with your dentist.The veneers in your pictures look nice, but some tweeking and refinements may be in order.
