I have porcelain veneers on my upper front 5 teeth. They are pasty-looking and not smooth (don’t feel slick like my regular teeth). I got them in\u00a0 April 2007, and the dentist has polished them “twice” now to date.<\/p>\n

Thanks,

Dear Inge,
\nYou’re telling me that your dentist doesn’t seem to know how to polish your porcelain veneers<\/a>, and that the dental laboratory he used to make them doesn’t seem to know how to make lifelike porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n

I’m not surprised. Most dentists don’t know how to do these things well. That’s why I run this website – to help people find good cosmetic dentists. I’m very familiar with the pasty look you talk about, and we examine closely the work of every cosmetic dentist we list on this website to make sure they know how to create lifelike porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n

Porcelain veneers shouldn’t need to be polished. When they are fired in the porcelain oven they are given a shiny glaze that is extremely durable and stain resistant. But, if the occasion arises, usually through improper maintenance,\u00a0where they need to be polished, expert cosmetic dentists such as we list on this website know how to do that. Check our list of northern California cosmetic dentists<\/a> to find someone who could do this for you.
\n– Dr. Hall<\/p>\n
