Dr Filed my Front Teeth Without Asking. I Am So Unhappy W/ This Permanent Change. Why?

I have never heard of a dentist filing down or reducing enamel on a tooth without consulting the patient. When your teeth are filed down, he is reucing the enamel.  If the front teeth were too long, it would have made more sense if he added and contoured the side teeth to match. I am so so sorry this happened to you. Dentists usually do not do any procedure without consulting the patient. Did he explain afterward if not before why he was doing this? I would go back and get an explanation from him. Of course you can have your front teeth bonded and made longer again, but you should not have to pay for EITHER PROCEDURE.

Sound like there's more to this story than you are reporting! Did you have a discussion with the Dentist as to why he filed your front teeth? Was there a structural or esthetic problem? Does the dentist expect to get paid for his time and effort? If so, he should thoroughly explain his actions. Even if he did it "free", he should explain his actions.
