Dear doctors, PLEASE HELP!! I am desperate! I had veneers done on the upper teeth but something is off. I did ask for wider smile and more teeth show. The color is too white, they seen too big. Can drilling of part of my teeth fix this? I want my cute smile back, not this artificial smile, I hate it. Please tell me if you think the drilling of the teeth would resolve this? Many thanks!!

Answer: Redo Unfortunately outside of redoing them all, you won’t have another option to address all of your complaints. The brightness or whiteness of the veneers won’t change if you just grind on them to make them shorter. The issue here is I’m not quite sure you knew what you were getting yourself into. Your veneers don’t necessarily look that bad but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Only what you think it matters. I don’t believe doing anything to this set will or can make you happy. You’ll need to have them redone with your teeth ground down (traditional veneer prep). Your veneers are most likely a “minimal prep” veneers. Also, get feldspathic porcelain veneers and not monolithic pressed veneers.

Answer: Porcelain Veneers Hello,Porcelain veneers should, like all aesthetic procedures, be very similar to a natural smile, bright, alienated and straight. That is why when deciding to perform an aesthetic procedure you should investigate well and choose the most experts in the market and taking into account the video testimony of the patients of said doctor.in your case, there are two options, or you remove your veneers and you make new ones or that the doctor polishes your veneers until you give them the shape you want.
