I recently got 8 upper veneers and like them...I just don't love them. I keep trying to figure out what is bothering me, but I can't put my finger on it. Any ideas?

Answer: Begin with the end in mind Your case will be VERY difficult to "fix" without clear expectations, or at least knowing what you want improved. Much alteration will be permanent, so if you don't like the changes, there is no going back (unless a complete redo at full fee is done).It may help to know what was improved from the start, and perhaps "more" is all you need? There are specific parts to a "perfect" smile, so as long as those factors are good, then it may be that you just need to get used to the new smile.I have pt approval at each step, and right before final bonding of porcelain, the signature is next to a line saying that after seating, if the case must be redone it includes a fee. I stand behind my work. If for some reason the case needs to be redone at no fee (only happended once in 20 years) we have a mandatory waiting period. Usually once the patient gets used to it, they LOVE the new smile.

Answer: Veneers The best solution to your problem is to sit down with your dentist and discuss specifically what your concerns are. Is it the color, shape, thickness or contours that concern you. Each individual has an idea of what they expect their cosmetic outcome to be and it sounds as if your ideals weren't met. The corrections may be as minor as simply reshaping the veneers that you currently have or they may need to be remade. If you do decide to remake them you need to scrutinize the next set befored they are bonded into place. I hope this helps.
