I am FINALLY removing my 25 year old bonds and replacing with veneers after having a wonderful Crown Lengthening procedure. I want the TOP of the line and my dentist is wonderful.

I would recommend returning to your dentist to have adjustments made to your temporaries so they are more cosmetic for you. The temporaries I make for my patients are pretty cosmetic, but not all temporaries are. Be sure you ask your dentist to let you see the permanent veneers in your mouth bef...
