I wish I had an image of your smile makeover results to give me a better idea of what you&#8217;re dealing with. Based on what you described, it sounds like your glazing was done in a flat, uniform type of design. If you look at the teeth in this photograph with work done by Dr. Delaune, you can see that teeth aren&#8217;t flat. They are textured. Also, the color is not uniform. Instead, they have varying degrees of opacity throughout the tooth.\u00a0 By the way, only one of the teeth above is &#8220;fake&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The glazing on the tooth is what is responsible for the shine you are experiencing, especially if your dentist did not texture it. However, I am not sure you will want to remove that glazing. It is also what protects your <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">porcelain veneers<\/a> and makes them stain-resistant. Occasionally, we run into a new patient who had their cosmetic work done at another office. Because that particular office didn&#8217;t properly go over cleaning procedures for cosmetic work with their hygienist, she used a power prophy jet during cleaning, which takes the glaze completely off. Within a few days, that patient&#8217;s veneers began to pick up stains.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, you have a dentist who cares about the patient&#8217;s satisfaction with their work. A true cosmetic dentist would never bond your veneers on until you had a chance to look at them with a temporary try-in paste and give your approval. If you weren&#8217;t thrilled with the results, they would go back to the lab. It doesn&#8217;t sound like you were given that option. That is likely the result of your dentist not having much experience with this yet and therefore doesn&#8217;t carry (or may not even know about) these try-in pastes. This is just one of the problems with cosmetic dentistry not being a recognized specialty.<\/p>\n<p>My suggestion is you simply go back to your dentist and explain how you feel about your veneers. You paid for a beautiful smile and should get one. Some cosmetic dentists even have a <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beautiful smile guarantee.<\/a> If he or she is not sure how to do it any differently, you can let them see this post.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Orleans Cosmetic Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a smile makeover done.
