Cosmetic Dental ‘Failures’ – When Veneer Patients Change Their Minds (Medico-Legal Series) – PDP169

Picture this: your patient is beaming with joy over her new veneers, giving high-fives and 5-star Facebook reviews! The next thing you know, she calls the practice demanding the removal of her veneers because her boyfriend claims she now looks like a horse (tip #1 – ditch the boyfriend!) https://youtu.be/5OI8oJ8Pha8 Watch PDP169 on Youtube In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Daniel Cattell and Dr. Neel Jaiswal on how to navigate such a situation. While we hope it’s not a common occurrence, we discuss the importance of consent protocols and thorough communication in hopes to avoid such scenarios.
