Woman's Veneer Nightmare: Improper Placement Leads to Costly Gum Damage and Urgent Warning
A recent online video by Rachel Eve has brought to light the potential risks and hidden costs associated with cosmetic dental veneers. Eve shared her personal ordeal, detailing how improperly placed veneers led to severe gum inflammation and bleeding, necessitating painful and expensive laser treatment not covered by insurance. According to Eve, she initially felt confident after receiving porcelain veneers in 2023, following an earlier composite bonding procedure in 2019. However, she later experienced persistent gum issues. After consulting three different dentists, she was informed that her veneers were improperly placed, causing the inflammation. The required gum laser treatment, which involves numbing the gums and lasering off infected tissue, is a multi-stage process. Eve highlighted that this procedure typically ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 out-of-pocket, as most insurance plans do not cover it. She expressed significant frustration, having already spent over $8,500 on the veneers and travel, and now facing additional unforeseen expenses and discomfort. Eve's experience serves as a cautionary tale, as she noted that many others have privately messaged her with similar issues, suggesting a broader problem within the cosmetic dentistry industry regarding patient education on potential complications and long-term care. She urged individuals considering veneers to conduct extensive research and be fully aware of all possible risks and costs.
