Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had my teeth prepped for veneers a year ago. The veneers my dentist used to cover my entire tooth. Veneers cover the front of your tooth and not the whole tooth. After that, I visited my dentist one to two times a month. I had my bottom 8 replaced because they were turning orange. I have never been in so much pain in my life. I have terrible hot and cold sensitivity, which, I have read, should go away within a few weeks. But, as I said, he has been working on my teeth for a year now, and still, there are problems. Can I get a refund so I can start over with a new dentist? Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Naveen Thomas

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

If the veneer, as you say, covers the whole tooth, then it might be a ceramic crown and not a veneer. In addition, if there is severe pain, the tooth might have been reduced beyond what was needed for veneers, and the nerves might be exposed. In such cases, root canal treatment is needed. If you are not satisfied with the dentist, you can consult another dentist and ask for a refund which is doubtful.

Thank you.
