my veneer is too thick can I get lumineers and invisaline

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Q.
I had a root canal about 4 years ago on my front tooth from a back break. i had a veneer, or thats what they said it was. but now i noticed the veneer doesn’t match at all to my other tooth, my gums are purple and the veneer is too thick, it’s just really noticeable. i was wondering if i should get lumineers put on both my front teeth so they will match, but i was wondering if it would be tooth think and be noticeable. also if i could still get invisaline, will it pull the lumineers off? i just want to be able to smile and not feel so conscious of my teeth. i’m a teen and i’m always close to people and like to hang around a lot of people. thank you

I have had fillings on my teeth which are stained

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Komal, I’ve always had problems with my teeth. A few years ago I had braces on my teeth which built my confidence up for a while and i loved to smile. But since i had my filling placed on my 2nd to front tooth and the side of my front tooth started to stain as some dentists say whilst others say its a small amount of decay, i get paranoid that people are looking at it when i smile. And i myself generally dont like to smile anymore. Its practically a dot on the side of my tooth but i feel like it looks awful. I asked my dentist to fix it but he seemed to have made it worse by placing some white fluid over it which just stained and never covered the black dot aswell.
