After reading some of these questions on here I’m wondering if enough was removed from the surface of the teeth. Can the veneers surface be sanded down to thin them out. They were made by Glidewell.
Answer: Thick veneers It is not the best decision to alter the thickness of veneers as the surface color and glaze will be removed. Remaking them is the best answer. I have a suggestion. Before your dentist cuts them off have him thin them for you to try. This will allow you to live with the thickness for a few days. If you like it then a model can be made for the lab to follow. If they are still too thick thin them again. Do this until you are happy with the contours..... then cut them off and remake them.

Answer: Can Veneers be smoothed down after insertion The simple answer is no, they need to be redone if you are not happy with the look. DId the dentist try them in and show them to you prior to bonding them in. Speak with your dentist about your concerns to see what can be done about it .

Answer: Sorry but they need to be redone! Not seeing you beforehand makes it difficult to pinpoint the problem however this is clearly not what you wanted or expected. Did your dentist try the veneers in your mouth and show you the result before bonding them to your teeth? Many factors can influence the thickness of veneers including under reduction of teeth as well as poor lab quality.Go back to your dentist and discuss it with him or her and see what can be done. If you saw them before they were bonded in place then you are partly responsible and may have to incur further expenses to change them.

Answer: Thinning down veneers Thank you for your question.If your veneers are made of porcelain, then the short answer is no.Porcelain veneers are relatively thin, and although they can be adjusted slightly, the full-surface thinning of them will make them rapidly fail.You need to speak to your dentist to ask about alternative options, and recheck the diagnostic models to see how they were supposed to look.Good luck with getting this sorted -Kind regardsThomas Dey, BDS, MSc
