Instead, I have ten upper teeth covered by dental crowns. I am unsure whether I misunderstood my dentist or he misunderstood me and what I wanted. However, I now realize my dentist&#8217;s tooth preparation on my teeth was more aggressive for dental crowns than if I had veneers. I thought I told my dentist I didn\u2019t want my teeth ground down. The crowns look good, but I didn\u2019t want them. I feel like I\u2019ve been tricked, but I am embarrassed that I was unaware of what my dentist was doing to my teeth. Would a second opinion help? Thank you. Graham from Newark, NJ<\/p>\n<p>Graham,<\/p>\n<p>Many dentists charge the same for porcelain crowns and veneers because they require the same work.

Although you already have crowns, you can ask your dentist to explain why he placed crowns instead of veneers.
