Is my veneer bonded correctly to my tooth? (photo)

Question

had my veneers 3 mnt. 1 had pink tinge @ bottom in a few days. dentist said not to worry. decided to shine a light at the bottom of my tooth, visible there's an issue. more black than pink. @ back it feels raised off veneer in the middle. apt not til 25 Aug & on holiday 4 sept so concerned if they remove i will not have new ones fitted in time. Also concerned they will ignore. pls tell me what u think it could be & what it will entail to b fixed.as new I am not willing to pay for replacements.

I agree with the other dentists on your question - it is very possible there is a problem with the bonding.
There is a possibility however that your tooth is 'blushing'. This is where the preparation of the tooth went very close to the pulp and there is shine through of the pulp. The position of the pulp varies greatly and in some areas it can be a lot bigger (and so closer to the surface of the tooth). Sometimes this is linked to sensitivity immediately, at other times a while later.
I hope that your problem is due to an adhesive / bonding issue because a blushing pulp often ends in a root canal treatment. Try taking anti-inflammatory medications in the first instance to help and good luck.

Hi:
There seems to be an issue in the bonding process or not enough tooth structure was removed at the time of the preparation.  Most likely the veneer has to be replaced.
Best,
Dr. Maddahi

There's some sort of imperfection going on with that front tooth. If this was not visible at the veneer try-in then is an issue with the bond. Very easy to replace and you would have a temporary in the interim. Good luck!

That veneer need to be changed.  It  looks like the bonding material has failed, or maybe the bonding material was not  placed evenly to the veneer before placement.  your doctor should replace that at no charge.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that has to be redone. Either there was a bonding failure, failure in the veneer or moisture when placed but it must be redone.  Your dentist should replace at no charge
