Nobody thinks they are my real teeth. People actually ask me if I am wearing veneers or something over my teeth because they are so white. It is embarrassing. I know that they are not my real teeth, but aren\u2019t porcelain veneers supposed to look natural? This is much whiter than I thought my veneers would be. \u00a0The cosmetic dentist that placed them is not my regular dentist, but she insists that I approved the color. I asked her to remove them and send them back to her lab to have them darkened. She says that it\u2019s too late to darken them. Is this true? I am disappointed that I am not being offered any alternatives for this problem. Thanks for your help. \u2013 Sunni<\/p>\n<p>Sunni \u2013 After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/porcelain-veneers\/\">porcelain veneers<\/a> are bonded to your teeth, no changes can be made to them. Even if the veneers were removed, the porcelain is color fast, and it cannot be changed.<\/p>\n<p>Bonded veneers can\u2019t be made darker or lighter. At this point, if you are able to prove that the color of veneers you received is not the color you approved, it may assist you in getting new veneers. You can consider tactfully asking your cosmetic dentist to compare the instructions on the color of your veneers that was sent to the lab with what was actually received. It is unfortunate, but at this point, the only way to receive more natural-looking veneers is to have them completely redone.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that your cosmetic dentist will be willing to work with you to ensure that you get natural-looking veneers. If not, find another cosmetic dentist who will examine your teeth and veneers and let you know your options.
