My gums hurt after getting porcelain veneers.

My daughter’s cosmetic dentistry horror story.

Disappointed after porcelain veneers. Now what?

My porcelain veneers don’t look natural.
I am really unhappy with how my porcelain veneers turned out. They look ugly! The veneers look bulky and unnatural. From the beginning, I had a very clear vision of the look I wanted. I felt like I communicated exactly what I wanted them to look like. I ended up talking with both the dentist […]
Porcelain veneers are getting stained.
I had porcelain veneers done on my front teeth last year. I am pretty surprised to see them starting to get stained after such a short time. I am a smoker, but I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal because I thought that porcelain veneers were really hard to stain. They […]
