In November last year, I got 8 porcelain veneers on my front teeth, but my teeth catch on them. I trusted my dentist of 15 years for veneers. I have seen the work she has done for patients and have always felt that it looked great. A smile makeover was important for me as I turned 40 years old. I saved money for it so that I wouldn’t need financing. My dentist was confident that she could produce the smile I wanted. I got veneers to boost my career and help clients focus on my presentation instead of my bad smile. Despite the mockups and trials with the veneers, I have a new smile that I actually hate. Two veneers aren’t smooth, and my inner lip catches on them. It’s a mess that my dentist can’t seem to correct, even though I’ve been back to her six times. I’m not angry at my dentist but hurt and disappointed. I really want the veneers off. I don’t want veneers anymore. What should I say to my dentist?<\/p>\n

Why Do Your Lips Catch on Your Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n

If your lips catch on your porcelain veneers, a skilled cosmetic dentist may need to adjust your bite. Or, you may need new veneers. Only after an examination could a dentist accurately identify the source of your concerns.<\/p>\n

We suggest that you schedule an appointment with an accredited cosmetic dentist. They will examine your veneers and determine how to correct your smile. Minor adjustments may be needed to prevent your lips from catching on your porcelain veneers, but other issues might lead to replacing the problematic veneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Happens If You Don\u2019t Want Porcelain Veneers Anymore?<\/h2>\n

If you do not want porcelain veneers anymore, in most cases, a dentist can only replace them with new veneers. Most often, a dentist prepares your teeth by removing a tiny amount of tooth enamel from the fronts of your teeth. If a dentist prepared your teeth, it is no longer possible to return to your natural teeth without some cosmetic dentistry to protect them.<\/p>\n

Although you have an established relationship with your dentist, she may need more training to provide beautiful porcelain veneers that function correctly.<\/p>\n
