I invited him to give me more information, because ordinarily porcelain veneers will not lose their shine unless they are abused by a dental hygienist with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/horrorstories\/porcelain_veneers_damage.htm\">Prophy Jet<\/a> power polisher, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/maintenance.htm\">fluoride treatment with acidulated fluoride<\/a>. Both of these will remove the glaze on porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n<p>He responded by describing his treatment to me, and enclosed a photograph of the work the way it looks now. Yes, it was porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers. And he confessed to having obsessive-compulsive tendencies.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the photo:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1652\" alt=\"aaron-smile-makeover-going-dull\" src=\"https:\/\/mynewsmile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/aaron-smile-makeover-going-dull.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/aaron-smile-makeover-going-dull.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/aaron-smile-makeover-going-dull-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I would say obsessive-compulsive here. These teeth still have their shine. The glaze is still there and they look fine.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I told him:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To me it looks like a normal luster on the porcelain &#8211; the glaze is still there. There may be some polishing that could be done, but myself, I wouldn&#8217;t touch it. Nothing on porcelain is as good as the natural glaze. Porcelain polishes, because porcelain is so hard, have to be a diamond paste, and a polished porcelain surface to me is second best to the original glaze.<br \/>\n&#8211; Dr Hall<\/p>\n<p>See Aaron&#8217;s reply.
