What should I do about my dissatisfaction with my new porcelain veneers?
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
I’m sorry to hear you are not satisfied with the results you achieved. Have you spoken to the dentist about this yet? This is probably your first port of call.
Usually when we try in new porcelain work we allow our clients to carefully preview the work before it is bonded in place and only cement it all in when they are fully satisfied with the result. Did you have an opportunity to do this?
We always try to ensure that the temporary veneers are as close to the final result we’d like as possible and then copy these when our clients and us are fully happy with them.
I would encourage you to meet up and have a chat with your dentist about the concerns you have and I’m sure they can find a solution for you. You could always go for a second opinion as well to discuss the colur situation and the other issues with the ‘bowing’ and lop-sidedness
Best of luck
Mark
