Can veneer be removed and replaced with better looking one?
Q. I had bonding done 6 years ago on 2 chipped front teeth. Although it still looked good I decided to have it done again because there was some decay setting in. My dentist placed a veneer (unsure what kind) on another tooth next to the bonded one. I think he did it because it had a filling and the color didn’t match with the bonded ones. Unfortunately, I really don’t like the way it turned out. Can he remove the veneer from my normal tooth and how can he fix my smile after the work has already been done,
A. If your tooth has been prepared for the veneer, it would be possible for the dentist to remove the veneer and replace it with a new one. I would recommend that you discuss all the aspects of the existing veneer that you are unhappy with prior to treatment. You may also wish to request that the dentist has a diagnsotic wax up created. This would show you how the veneer could look, and give you the oportunity to discuss anything you are unhappy with prior to treatment. I hope this will help. kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki
