Hi, I agree, I would do professional whitening first and then see how that looks! Can I ask where in DHC you went?

reshaping my veneers

washytashy
hello again ^^ so I went back to the doctor bcoz my veneers were so long, and he shaved it, and I kinda like it, but im thinking of making it straight but with a bit of texture like the fangs what do you guys think ? and i want it to make it thinner for me, he shaved my natural teeth bcoz i have diabetic and he had to or it will be infected ? i don't think its necessary it still depress me, and my teeth are so sensitive. I'm thinking to do the lower teeth as well what do you advice ? i'm worried coz he will shave it as well either way i had to permanently use the veneer since he filed the upper already, my lower teeth doesn't show much, but since i'm crazy and do crazy facial expression they sometimes noticeable, but either way the purpose of the veneers is to be confident about your smile, so im hesitated i want to same time don't, plz advice

thank you

I think your veneers look great! I can understand why you may feel they are too big as they are a lot bigger than your natural teeth were. The good thing about the size of them is that they can be adjusted and reshaped and you'd be surprised at how minor adjustments could make all the difference. This is harder to do if you're starting with very small veneers. Maybe you need to visit a different cosmetic dentist for an opinion? Perhaps get somebody else to reshape them? I certainly don't think they need to be removed. I think they look nice already and with some adjustments, I'm sure you could get a smile you'd be thrilled with! I feel your pain though. :( It can be very scary and frustrating going through this process. Teeth are something you can't really hide. They're out there for the world to see every time you speak and smile!

yeah to me i see teeth plays a big role in beauty, I think my veneers now is fine, im just wondering shall i keep it or go for a straight teeth with a fang coz fangs make it look nice as well, and shall i do the lower teeth or no need, thank you for replaying to me

Personally, I would steer away from fangs haha. That's just me! I prefer something more natural. I just had my veneers and crowns done over the last 2 weeks. I had my lowers inserted this morning. In my case, my natural teeth were quite discoloured and I wanted them all to be really white so that they matched when I spoke. I had 10 veneers on just the top for 8 years though and I was really happy with those! I just decided to upgrade and get my bottom ones done this time to match. It all depends on how much of your bottom teeth you show when you smile and speak. Have you tried whitening?

when i smile it doesn't show, but when i talk possible. but when i go crazy yes hehehe, and whitening while i have my veneers not yet . but unlike veneers whitening affect could go

Yeah, whitening is certainly not permanent and it only does so much. People used to notice how nice my top teeth were and after talking to me for a while, they'd notice that my bottom ones didn't match. That's why when I got them redone, I did top and bottom. But it's a lot of work and expense so it all depends on whether you think it's worth it. I wanted really white teeth and I wanted them all to match so I did 10 on top and bottom. I went with BL2 but my dentist used a white cement to block out some of the colour of natural teeth. :)

I just posted a review today with photos of my experience. I'm still sore from all of the poking and prodding but it was so worth it! I'm very happy with how they've turned out. :)

iv always dreamed for nice white teeth, like i said my lower teeth it doesn't show, but the purpose of veneers is to be confident, i am more confident than before, but still not bcoz of the difference between upper and lower as you can see in the pics, and yes its expensive, but i did 8 upper, and if i did lower i have to do 8 as well, i need advices, coz im 50-50 if should i or shouldnt, coz the doc filed my teeth and it became sensitive and uncomfortable.

im very happy for you then ^^ enjoy it gonna check yours

Ahhh yes, it is uncomfortable. If you let your dentist know when you start to become sensitive again though, they should give you more anaesthetic. I had to do this today. My dentist is a perfectionist, which is great, but he spent about 3.5 hours just inserting my lower teeth today and I needed more anaesthetic because it became really uncomfortable. But if you let the dentist know, he/she should be able to make you comfortable again. I know they are sensitive afterwards also but it only lasts a short while. I took some panadeine extra (has codeine in it) and this helped A LOT for me. Now, 12 hours later, I feel perfectly fine. The temporary discomfort is totally worth it. If youo can afford it, I say go for it. :)

Hello everyone,

I would like to share my story, I have diabetic, so it means they have to be extra careful, and from the beginning I told him I don't want shaving, and he kept insisting that he has to shave, and said wont shave much, but he actually did it, and a lot, i was beyond frustrated, but he placed the temp veneers which lasts a week, the look was nice, and loved it, but god i was in pain, heck I lost weight, next visit it was for veneers, the shade was bleached 020 we thought it would be natural white, but surprisingly it looked grayish, so ofc i rejected it, and told him do like the temp exactly, but he failed , then he asked for a pic, and i did sent him and in whats app -email more than once, so the sec visit the actual veneers he placed it and this time i asked for bleached 010 shade which is the whitest, the shape was awful but how can i know if i was numbed, i was in sever pain, and he ignored it, the teeth i feel like they are way big and bulky, and that shade is not 010 coz i can see shades of yellow certain places but its fine with me it looked natural like that, but the shaving and the shape is my concern what can i do help, and advice please, sorry for my english, and the long replay ( one pic of the desired smile- 3 of my natural teeth- 2 of the temp veneers 6 of the permanent veneers )
