I’ve had porcelain veneers for about 3 yrs now. I wasn’t really happy with the dentist that placed them and 2 of the porcelain veneers were not placed right so they are stained and it looks like their separating from my teeth. In other words for those 2 teeth you can really tell there are veneers on them and they look like they might fall off. I want to get them replaced and I am not going back to the same dentist that put the veneers on in the first place but I am worried that the color of the new veneers won’t match. I am also wondering if my getting the old ones taking off might break my teeth. THANK YOU – Lauren J.
Lauren,
An experienced cosmetic dentist will have no problem matching the color of your existing porcelain veneers. Your new dentist will be able to access your dental records and contact the lab that made your veneers so that the color will be perfectly matched.
There will be no issue with damage to your natural teeth. There is more risk of damage to your teeth by leaving the defective porcelain veneers as they are. Leaving the teeth untreated exposes the teeth to risk of decay.
