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: 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
