Case Description
I just underwent cosmetic dental work for porcelain veneers. I am very distraught at the moment because I am wearing a temporary bridge that wil be on for two weeks. I hate the way it looks. I am concerned that this is the way the permanent veneers will look. In addition, It is very uncomfortable, I am unable to grind any food since my molars do not meet because of the bulky temporary veneers. My teeth are misaligned and bulk was added to give the appearance of being straight. But, I am unable to eat solid food properly, I am afraid I will choke because I am unable to grind it well enough. What shall I do. I just got the temporary yesterday.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

First of all let your dentist know that you are unhappy with appearance of your temporary veneers. The shape of the provisional restorations can be changed easily, since they are made of plastic. Your dentist can polish the excessive material , and make them thinner, less bulky. Temporary bridge that you have now is a valuable diagnostic tool . It can be adjusted multiple times until you and your dentist are happy with the shape, appeapance, and the way it feels. After adjustment is complete, the impression and photographs of the temporary are usually taken, and sent to the lab, to insure that the permanent veneers look good and are comfortable.If you have any other questions feel fre to contact me SincerelyStan Zebrowski
