I got non prep porcelain veneers 3 months ago. My lip is quite thick and they were really bulky in my mouth. I can't make a full smile anymore and when I try my lip hurts and swell. Anyway my cosmetic dentist wants me to wait for the swelling to go down before he does anything, but it's hard to have the swelling go down with the teeth pushing my lips. I'm debating having the veneers removed, just the front 6. Is that a complicated procedure? Does it cause damage to my teeth?
Answer: Bulky Veneers This is the main problem with non prep veneers is this issue of looking too bulky and making the lip "stick out". Have them removed by an experienced cosmetic dentist. Traditional veneers should look much more natural for you. Best of luck.

Answer: Porcelain veneers Removing old veneers which are non preparation style can be removed with little damage to your enamel. But it is not an "easy procedure" as the cosmetic dentist has to take his time not to cut off enamel. Your teeth and veneers bonded together so there is really no gap in between. There quite a bit of polishing required afterwards and that's not easy either, in every corner of the tooth. You are looking at $800 to $900, well worth it considering that you are unhappy right now. Hope this helps.

Answer: Cosmetic veneers I am also a bit puzzled with the fact there is a swelling that you sure to associate with your newly placed veneers, but I suppose your dentist and you can sort it out. Removing non-prep veneers is a no-brainer, but sometimes not all of your teeth under "no prep veneers" are left non-prepped. So consult your original cosmetic dentist in that regard and all of your teeth were completely intact I am sure your current dentist who placed these veneers would remove them for you since you do not seem to be happy with the results. And yes, care still has to be exercised while removing those. Hope this helps, and best of luck to you ! Dr. Val Daniyar

Answer: No Prep Porcelain Veneer Concerns The bulky appearance you are unhappy with is a common problem with No-Prep Veneers and that is largely due to case selection. No-Prep Veneers can produce beautiful results if performed on the right patient. Since no tooth structure is altered to make room for porcelain, No-Prep Veneers are best suited for patients with spaces between their natural teeth and good arch alignment. When teeth are crowded or out of alignment adding porcelain to the facing of the tooth will only make it more prominent. If your dentist did not alter your natural teeth the veneers can be carefully removed to expose your natural tooth. You will again be left with the cosmetic concern that initially led you to have the veneers placed. I recommend you have a consultation with a experienced cosmetic dentist to discuss options like removal or converting to traditional veneers.
