What should I do about my dissatisfaction with my new porcelain veneers?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Hughes

I had 10 porceline veneers fitted yesterday – to put it bluntly they look rubbish, not what I hoped or thought they would look like. my two issues are the colour and the way they arent level. I went for shade OM3 which is the 3rd lightest in the amercian shade range and they seem rather yellow. secondly, the teeth sort of bow – they are sort of lop-sided as in the right side is longer than the left. I actually preferred my temporaries to these! What can I do? I paid £7000!

Thanks
