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: New veneers Gum line is an important thing to consider , your high smile , shows the gum , and those veneers look long , gum countouring and making them milimeters higher will help you to have a more aesthetical layout.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Want to love your #Veneers #DrSoftTouch Hello there,It is not uncommon for some patients to take a few weeks or so to fall in love with their veneers. That being said, the way they look is a matter of preference. Is it the shape you don't love? Or the shade? If you're unhappy, you should speak with your dentist. It's always important to look at before and after photos when selecting your dentist. They will give a good idea about what you can expect. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Answer: I don't like my new veneers. There is a lot that is right with your veneers. The question about not liking them may not actually be the veneers but that they end abruptly at canines and lead to a dark buccal corridor. I usually discuss 4 or 8 veneers as better than six. You could have the dentist temoporarily build the bicuspids in composite to fill the smile.There is also a relatively large lateral compared to the central. There is no easy way to correct this issue but it is possible to reshape to change how light reflacts to make them look narrower.Were these no prep veneers, this can often lead to overcontour issues.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOThinkBetterLife.com

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.

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.
