Front veneer has a divot. Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

I just had too mouth outfitted with Cabrera. I was surprised that my front one has an indentation. Dr. Said it was how to make it even with the other front tooth as it is slightly higher...this isn't sitting well with me and feels like a mistake. Would appreciate some balidatio.

Hello there,I'm sorry to hear that you don't love your recent dental work. I agree that this is not a good result, and if this occurred in my office, the restoration would be remade not cemented. The best advice I can give is to stay positive and speak with your dentist about your concerns. Having to remake a case can be frustrating for both you and your dentist, but keep the lines of communication open.  I always recommend looking at before and after photos of actual patients of the dentist you are considering before selecting that dentist. This will give you a pretty good indication of what you can expect. Good luck and I hope this helps.

The image you posted shows what in my office would be an unacceptable esthetic result.  I would not have cemented these restorations.  If you were a patient in my office I would have sent the porcelain back to the lab to be remade properly.  If you have this dentist remake the veneers, you need to approve the results before cementation.  However, I recommend you seek a second opinion from a different dentist.
