Direct Answers
- What is veneer regret?
- Veneer regret refers to dissatisfaction with porcelain veneers after they are placed - typically because they look unnatural, are too white, or involved excessive tooth preparation. It is more common with low-cost or high-volume clinics.
- Can veneer regret be fixed?
- In most cases, yes. The veneers can be replaced with higher-quality porcelain that looks more natural. However, if excessive tooth structure was removed, the options may be more limited.
- How do I choose the right shade for veneers?
- Work with a clinic that shows you the shade under multiple lighting conditions - not just clinical lighting. The shade should complement your skin tone, eye colour, and age. Brighter is not always better.
