I had gotten composite veneers over 2 months ago and I had originally disliked how they came out. The dentist said he was going to be conservative and try not to drill. At first they were real bulky compared to my other teeth so I had came back and he polished them with a circular tool till they were flat. Now I have gray stains and pin holes in them. Could they be removed without damage to the underlying tooth & enamel. Would they be back to the way they were without any additional treatment?
Answer: Kathy Frazar Yes the dentist should be able to remove these composite bondings without injury to your underlyng teeth..Then you can decide if you want something else done.

Answer: Veneers Yes you can have these removed , but one has to be very careful not damaging the tooth under neath. Porcelain veneers may be a better option for you. Discuss with your dentist.

Answer: Unhappy with Recent Veneers It is very difficult to promise a patient NO alteration to a tooth that will receive a veneer. What can happen in these cases is an undesired esthetic result. I'm wondering if you had any type of temporary veneers placed so you could see what the shape of the final veneers would be? In looking at the photos you've shown, the shape of your two front teeth is very rectangular, but in order to fill the space around your peg laterals the veneers were made triangular in shape. My recommendation would have been to treat the four front teeth for a more pleasing overall appearance. After discussions with you prior to treatment about your desired esthetic outcome, I would have my dental laboratory technician create a mold for a trial smile. There would be some adjustment to the shape of the underlying teeth to allow the ceramist to give you the desired result, and then your temporary veneers would allow you to see and feel what you could expect. We can then make changes to the shape of the temporaries to your satisfaction, and the ceramist would duplicate those changes in your final veneers.To answer your initial question, I have sometimes been able to use a laser to dissolve the bonding between the veneer and tooth with little to no change to the underlying tooth. Otherwise, very careful separation of the veneer from the tooth may be possible by other means.Good luck!

Answer: Returning teeth to original condition Thank you for your question and it is a very relevant one. Although composite is often called minimally invasive, when it is bonded on properly it adheres really strongly to the underlying enamel.
