What are some dental veneer horror stories?

Sure. I heard of a patient whose veneers were fitted too far forward on the teeth. It made their teeth look bulgy and unnatural. It was really obvious that something was wrong with their teeth, and it made the patient self - conscious.

There are also cases where the veneer color fades over time in an unexpected way. You might choose a veneer for its beautiful color that complements the room or product it's on. But then, due to factors like sunlight exposure or poor quality materials, the color starts to change. It can turn into an ugly, dull shade that completely changes the intended look of the item it adorns.

My friend had veneer on his guitar. He thought it would look cool and protect the wood. But then he left it in a hot car one day. When he took it out, the veneer had warped. The guitar didn't play as well, and it was really hard to fix. He ended up having to take it to a professional luthier, and it cost him a lot of money to get it back in playable condition.

One horror story is about a patient who had an implant that got severely infected. The pain was unbearable and it led to swelling that affected the whole side of the face. It took multiple rounds of strong antibiotics to get it under control, and in the end, the implant had to be removed.

Well, a patient told that they had an appointment at Aspen Dental for a routine check - up. But during the examination, the dentist recommended a whole bunch of unnecessary procedures like root canals and crowns. The patient felt pressured to agree. After some of the procedures were done, they had extreme pain and swelling for weeks. Another horror story involves incorrect diagnosis. A person was told they had several cavities when in fact it was just some minor staining. The unnecessary drilling and filling caused a lot of discomfort and damaged the healthy parts of the teeth.

One horror story is about a patient who went abroad for cheap dental implants. When they got back home, they had constant pain and infections. It turned out the dental work was shoddy, and the materials used were of low quality. They had to spend a lot more money to get it fixed properly in their own country.

Some patients have reported issues like long wait times at Heartland Dental. For example, they might arrive for an appointment on time but end up waiting for over an hour just to be seen by the dentist. This can be really frustrating, especially if they have other important things to do.

One of my dental horror stories was when I went to get a wisdom tooth pulled. The dentist didn't numb me properly. I could feel every tug and pull as he tried to yank that tooth out. It was excruciating pain that I will never forget.

Well, I heard of a case where a tourist went to Turkey for dental work. They promised her a beautiful set of veneers. However, when the work was done, the veneers looked completely unnatural, were misaligned, and caused her a great deal of discomfort. It was a real horror story as she had to spend a lot more money back in her home country to fix the mess. Also, some patients have reported dentists in Turkey starting procedures without proper diagnosis, like doing a root canal when it was just a minor cavity issue.

A lot of these horror stories involve miscommunication. For example, a patient went for a dental crown procedure. The dental clinic in Colombia advertised a certain type of crown material. But when the patient arrived, they found out that a different, inferior material was going to be used. The patient didn't feel like they had much choice at that point as they were already there. And after the procedure, the crown didn't fit properly and caused a lot of discomfort. This shows that sometimes dental tourism in Colombia can have its dark sides.
