Hey all, I’ve had 10 veneers recently done and I just don’t love them. The dentist who did the work initially sat and listened extensively to what I wanted in the beginning, but it felt like once I paid for the work, he’s been very dismissive of my concerns. I asked for a very natural smile, I didn’t want a complete smile re-do, I just wanted a more natural, perfected upgrade of my old teeth. I didn’t want bright white- and was never actually given the option to choose the colour. Instead, I was told “trust me, you’re going to get a beautiful smile”. What I got was a Hollywood blazing white smile that feels too big and unnatural for my face and features. I admit, they definitely look better than my old teeth, but I’m struggling to come to terms with how vastly different they are.
When I was in the composite stage, I hated the composites- and made all my concerns clear to him. Once again, he reassured me that I would get what I wanted. But when it came time to the final veneers, I was given less than five minutes to decide. They looked vastly better than the composites, so I went ahead with them, but really would have loved longer than five minutes to make a decision like that. I felt rushed and have been treated like I’m being difficult.
Can someone give me advice? Am I overreacting? Or is there something you genuinely see that’s not quite right with these teeth? They feel too long but I keep being told by him and his staff “it’s the perfect smile” and then I get eye rolls for insisting they don’t feel or look right to me. I feel he has lengthened the tops of the veneers too much as well and taken out too much of the gum line - which also adds to the feeling of bulkiness and length. Not to mention, he promised a translucency to the veneers, which they don’t have at all. I just don’t know what to do next. Should I find another dentist?
