Q. I had a veneer on one of my top front teeth as it was dead and discoloured. I wasn’t showed te colour or size of the veneer before it was fitted. as it turned out the colour isnt perfect but much better than it was, the problem i have is the size. i went back the day after it was fitted unhappy as the tooth was much wider than my other front tooth and was very noticable. My dentist shaved it down the one side sa

ying that is as much as he could do without damaging the veneer. It was better but the tooth still stands out as sticking out and slightly too wide.Is this normal for a veneer? i was under the impression the tooth is shaved down so that veneer fits into place without sticking out? many thanks

A.

Thanks for your question, a veneer is usually used to make a tooth look natural and healthy again, as a result of this you would expect it not to be noticable against your other teeth. I would recommend that you return to your dentist to explain your concerns in detail (maybe writing them down beforehand may help). If you do not feel that you get a suitable response, it may be worth gaining a second opinion, to see if the veneer can be improved, or if maybe it may need to be remade. I hope this helps, but please don’t hesitate to contact me again.
Many Thanks
