Final results veneers

WORTH IT$12,000
I had my dentist lengthen two teeth. I should have redone all four on the same side but I am happy with the final result. Not perfect but better. I have a canted smile line and the one side would have to be a lot longer to make my smile even and probably would affect my bite. Thanks for all the past suggestions and comments!

I had 10 upper porcelain veneers fitted 5 weeks ago. My dentist did full crowns. My teeth were not bad before, just ground down a bit and yellowing due to age, I'm 50. I loved the length of the temps but told my dentist that the tooth to the left of the front tooth was a bit short. He made a note to the lab. In 3 weeks when I went back for my fitting the tooth was still short and I did not let him cement them in. Another week later I went in (yesterday) my temps had holes in them and were broken down and smelly after 5 weeks so the permanent ones I felt pressured in to getting. When he placed them they kept moving and the odd tooth must have been pushed lower so they looked great. Once cemented, it was still short after the second time sent back for adjustment. I spent $12,000 and am not 100% satisfied. I feel like my smile looks like a ribbon and I wanted more symmetry. The color is OM1 and he said is the second to the brightest shade, which I really like. I also like his artistry but would like to get some true feedback from people. Thank you!

I love your veneers and I'm keeping photos so I can show my dentist how I want mine done. They look natural and not to perfect which could be a giveaway to having dental work.

Thanks for sharing your story, and your photos. I agree with hondaboy11 that they look very natural and not overly "done". I love the color as well.

Your 50??!! From what I could see you look great! :)
Your veneers do look nice, very nice, but I do see what you are talking about.
At least that's your only complaint. If there were more reasons to redo them, then I would be mad.
They look good.

Thank you! I'm still going to see if my dentist will work with me in lengthening 2 teeth. We'll see how it goes! Thanks again :)

Thank you! I'll post again an update once I speak to my dentist Wednesday. I'm going to ask to have the left side brought down to even out the smile line. He did the mold by hand because he said it gave him The opportunity to give detail to the final texture, but from everything I've read the dentist should do two wax mock ups to make sure that they come out accurate. Maybe that is why even after two attempts they came out the same. I'll keep you posted and good luck with your final outcome! You need to be happy!

If you want to be really picky, when I look at it, I see 3 slightly shorter teeth starting with your front tooth.

Yes, I see the exact same thing three teeth not just one. Thank you for being honest! I'm going to go in and talk to my dentist this week.
