I&#8217;ve since moved and can&#8217;t drive four hours to his office, so I&#8217;d like to know what procedure I need and have it done locally.<\/p>\n<p>Louisa &#8211; Seattle<\/p>\n<p>Louisa,<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something that bothers me about your question. You said he called them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/lumineers-phoenix.html\">Lumineers<\/a> (which can sometimes be no-prep veneers) and direct bonding. Those are two very different things. \u00a0Your dentist indicated they would last for many years, which would indicate some type of porcelain veneer (such as Lumineers), but you&#8217;re saying they&#8217;ve only lasted a few years, which indicates dental bonding.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to figure out which procedure you actually received. Go to a good cosmetic dentist in your new area. Let them look at your teeth, they&#8217;ll be able to tell right away what procedure you received. Also, tell them how much you paid, so he or she can determine if there&#8217;s a chance you were scammed.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever procedure it was, whitening doesn&#8217;t work on any type of cosmetic work. Your only solution is to have the procedure re-done.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\">Drs.
