How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I Wish I Had Never Done It
No pros, only cons!
I have a tooth gap between my 2nd tooth and canine. I thought I'd discuss about making it appear smaller with a dentist. However, I wanted minimal invasion to my tooth: if it was not possible, then I didn't want anything to be done. Well the dentist said it could be done with a veneer. He said NOTHING about risks. After few weeks the foreside of my tooth was ground and the veneer was made. I was disappointed with it, because it was not similar to the wax model that was made before grinding my tooth, but I just paid the bill.
After 2,5 months veneer fell off. It was rebound by another dentist, because my original dentist was not available at the time.
I was not happy with the new bound, the seam was obvius. So I went to see the first dentist again. He told me he would make a new veneer, and removed the firts one with a drill. He had also drilled my tooth, which he never mentioned to me.
Well a week later I got my second veneer. It was way too light for my teeth, shape was weird too. The dentist told me that the colour would settle.
The colour didn't settle, of course, so I booked another appointment. The dentist removed thus second veneer and once again drilled my tooth without saying anything to me.
Luckily, the temporary veneer fell of that same night and I found out the truth: my perfectly healthy tooth was ground down to a sad little nub. So much about minimal invasion! I was furious and full of regret. Now the third veneer is in my mouth. I constantly fear it will fall off. It aches my tooth when I bite. I can feel it there all the time, my tooth is sore. I think it constantly. I mourn my own, healthy tooth. I fear root canal treatment and the death of my tooth. I feel exhausted thinking about future replacements.
I wish I had never ever done this. I didn't know about the risks, because the dentist never told me any of them.
Please hear me: if your teeth are healthy, that's enough. Do not get veneers.
