Help, Do my Veneers Look Fake? ( photo)

I am taking a more positive approach than my colleagues have with my answer to your question.  If I were you, I would have my lower teeth whitened to match your new veneers and possibly place one veneer on #24, your front tooth which would make for a very nice smile.  Your doctor either used non prep veneers or was conservative and  did not drill away a ton of your tooth structure. That is why you are feeling larger and thicker teeth than before. If they are non prep you can easily correct this by taking them off and doing regular veneers that would feel less bulky.  I would whiten the lower teeth and possiblty do one lower  veneer and I think you will find that you will have a beautiful smile!

I take it that you are not happy with your veneers or you would not have been writing to Real Self.  If you are not pleased, you should definitely talk to your dentist about this and discuss what options can be done to meet your expectations. 

 

Good luck.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  You have veneers done and its sounds like your expectations have not been met.  Making esthetic looking veneers is an art by itself.  The dentist needs to select a qualified laboratory to do the ceramics in order to make great looking veneers.  If you are not happy then speak with your dentist about the options you have.  I wish you luck in making your decision.

 The most important part of the process of doing any aesthetic work is to listen to the patient's needs. it seems you are very unhappy , and you need to be happy. Your smile is, without question, one of your most important attributes. A winning, bright, white, straight smile can provide you with endless amounts of confidence. Studies have shown that people with pleasant smiles are more likely to get ahead in the business world, and feeling confident is always a plus when it comes to your personal life. You deserve to feel comfortable with your smile. You deserve a smile that is strong and attractive. Do not be afraid to share your thoughts with your dentist, you can also consult in person!

It's hard to make invisible, natural porcelain veneers. It takes, skill, artistry, an amazing lab and good communication throughout the process..

There are two important answers to "Do my veneers look fake?"

One- what do YOU think? I've had patients leave Denver, then move back years later. One came in with the hugest veneers I have ever seen. He loved them and thought they looked great. So if you like them, and you feel happy and love to smile, nothing else matters.

Two-Get an opinion from a few people who will tell you the truth. If you don't like the look AND they don't think it looks like you, then it may not be a great result. 

If you are still concerned, make a list of what concerns you. Be as specific as possible. Ask to meet with the dentist and present your concerns. A great cosmetic dentist will listen and then try to make improvements. If you get excuses or resistance, then you may have to seek out a cosmetic dentist and discuss your concerns. A great cosmetic dentist will make sure he knows what you are expecting, and make sure that YOU know what to expect as well. When your veneers go on, there really shouldn't be any surprises.
