I severely chipped my two top front teeth. I just had permanent veneers put on both teeth. The front left veneer covers much of the tooth next to it which was not the case when I had my temporary veneers. This makes my tooth look way too big. Is it possible to shave down the veneer (on the side) so its not covering the tooth next to it? Possibly shave the veneer then add bonding?

Answer: Veneer issues Sorry to hear about your concerns for the veneers that you had placed. There is room for improving these veneers esthetically. The veneers need to be removed and remade. In my office we do a lot of planning for the veneers with a waxup from the laboratory so you know what the teeth look like. I would also suggest making sure you are happy with the results that you have before they are permanently bonded into place. Veneers are done to make your smile esthetically pleasing, unfortunately these do not and need to be remade. Good luck and if I can be of any assistance being in Philadelphia myself please call my office

Answer: Over-sized veneer I agree with you. There is room for improving these veneers esthetically. The veneers need to be removed and remade. Next time I would also suggest looking at them before they are bonded. It is much easier to make corrections to veneers before they are bonded. Veneers should blend with all of your other teeth, not call your attention to them. They are meant to enhance your smile. These do not.
