I want them removed and I want to go back to my natural teeth. I\u2019ve been seeing this dentist for about 7 years. He is quite confident in his skills. If you ask him, he can do any and everything that has to do with dentistry. He does implants, cosmetic dentistry. You name it. He received extra training to learn how to do porcelain veneers. He showed me some pictures of patients he did veneers on. Although he says he has done hundreds of veneers, I probably saw about 20 to 30 sets of photos for different patients. The pics looked good to me but my veneers don\u2019t look good. And something about them is not right. When I floss my teeth, the floss gets hung up on on the side of 3 of my 8 veneers. There is another issue that is difficult to explain to my dentist but the veneers seem to create a lisp in my speech. The lisp is inconsistent so of course when I complained about it to my dentist, he had me read a few paragraphs and never once could we hear the lisp. So far nothing has been done. Just a series of appointments and exams where my dentist can\u2019t find anything wrong. I\u2019m exhausted. Can I just ask him to take off the veneers so I can go back to my natural teeth? What do patients usually do when their veneers are a hassle? Thanks. Janet<\/p>\n<p>Janet &#8211; When your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/porcelain-veneers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">porcelain veneers<\/a> are causing more stress than enjoyment, and your dentist doesn\u2019t know what to do about it, the best thing to do is to get a second opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, your natural teeth are prepared before porcelain veneers are placed. If that\u2019s true in your case, a small amount of your outer tooth structure was removed to ensure the veneers fit well and don\u2019t look bulky. Some of the reasons you can&#8217;t go back to your natural teeth are listed below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Removing the outer layer leaves unprotected teeth vulnerable to decay.<\/li>\n<li>Your tooth structure is altered, so your natural teeth won\u2019t look normal.<\/li>\n<li>Your teeth will be very sensitive to heat and cold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although your dentist has received training in cosmetic dentistry, it wasn\u2019t enough to give him insight on how to properly place veneers. Both your speech and the structure of the veneers are affected, so it\u2019s time to get a second opinion.<\/p>\n<p>You could ask your dentist to remove and replace the veneers, but you might get the same results.\u00a0Schedule a consultation with at least two cosmetic dentists to help you select a provider to restore your teeth. If you can find an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/Cosmetic-dentist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accredited cosmetic dentist<\/a> in your area, his or her expertise will help you get the best results.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lowell, MA dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate my porcelain veneers.
