I started down the road toward veneers about 3 weeks ago. I cried when I looked in the mirror. The temps looked like dentures. My dentist is really understanding and caring and it gets better every time I go, but I feel like I should be happy with them by now. I'm starting to lose confidence. Ill post pictures from start to where I am currently. Any ideas on what I can do to make them look more natural is appreciated. *They are a shade whiter than I plan on going with

I'm having the same problem. Well, sort of. I had my temps placed over a month ago. I think they look pretty good.. Just a few tiny adjustments were needed. When the finals came, I was devastated and refused them. There were gaps and I wasn't going to accept that. I think you should tell him that maybe it's the shape your not liking. Is your dentist adjusting the temps every time? Mine isn't!! They're putting them on just like the first and I'm so nervous. I have no clue what the final result will be. Where r u in the process?

I am about a week away from going in to pick my shade. They will have one veneer in two shades and I'll try them on. After that my dentist will do an impression to send off to the lab. That is, if I'm satisfied. Which Im not! My dentist has been very understanding and has seen me several times. Making adjustments every visit. Even at my kid's dental cleanings! I'm just getting frustrated. Why don't they see what I'm seeing?!

Look at the job my dentist did to me. Go to him.

I see a couple of things- they appear really thick, which makes them look wide, since now they stick out more. Also it looks like your midline between the two front teeth is a little canted to the left. What are the issues that you see?

I think the two front need shortening from the bottoms to fall at the length of the ones on each sides of those two. They are too long for your mouth. They actually fall over your bottom lip so tell your dentist they need to be shortened to fit inside your mouth better.

They do look unnatural and I think your observations are correct. I noticed that the teeth look very wide. It's your smile, you are right to be concerned!

With how off they seem to you, I would almost be scared your dentist doesn't understand what you need. It might be worth scheduling some appointments with other dentists in your area and seeing if they could give some recommendations on how they should be fixed. I agree they look to big. I think the two teeth to the side of your front teeth are way too big. They seem almost as wide as your front teeth somehow.

Still tweaking

MissPriss1234April 13, 2015
I realized that the last picture of me with the latest adjustments was not the best picture. I'm going back to the dentist on Wednesday and hope to be a bit more firm about my concerns. Will post another update then.

In my humble opinion Your eye teeth are a bit pointy I know you need done type of gap in between your front teeth but not sure about the one you have now

I think in this picture the two front teeth are too short. Also, when you look at the front four teeth, they appear to be sticking out in a different plane (bottom edges are more leaned forward) than the 3rd teeth from the front and back teeth.

Going back tomorrow

MissPriss1234April 14, 2015
Thanks for the comments. While I suppose they help, it certainly is solidifying my uncertainty. I'm becoming a basket case over it. The only thing keeping me sane is knowing that nothing is permanent YET. I know I can always run away from my dentist, although I wonder if I'd get my money back!

I'm not running away yet. I'm fact, I'm still going back in tomorrow to have my dentist try to dial back on the thickness again. While I'm losing confidence, I still have it in the back of my mind that this is just the nature of temps. Bulky. I really wish there were more photos of this phase on the Internet. On that note, I'll post another picture I took today. This one from another angle and with a filter so they don't look as bulky or as white.

While someone commented that the front teeth were too short and my canines too pointy, I actually disagree. I almost like them in this picture.
