80% of Our Veneer Cases Are Remakes: Who is to blame?

‘Half the time they come to us after getting some cheap work done. That means reassessing their old veneers and trying to help them save their smile’ - Dr. Abi Nader

This was recently quoted during a tête-a-tête between Charismatic Dental Laboratory Founder, Ayham Chaban and Dubai based, renowned Dentist, Dr. Rabhi Abi Nader during the latest podcast, the Charismatic Podcast.

But how right was Dr. Abi Nader during this conversation? The Research and Development Team in Charismatic Dental Laboratory did some digging and guess what?

Every 500 cases saw a total of 400 being a remake from an old set of veneers - none of which were ever initially made by Charismatic Dental Laboratory.

That’s a total of 80% of cases coming in being badly prescribed veneers in terms of quality, smile design and in some instances the physical act of placing the veneer in the patient’s mouth.

How Does This Happen?

The in-house team of experts have sifted through our records here in Charismatic Dental Laboratory and identified 3 core reasons to having such a high number of remakes.

• 60% of patients have been made greedy by promotions and low prices without being told that their dentist is compromising on the quality of the raw materials used
• The previous dentist of these patients have coerced them to using poor material convincing them it was of standardised material
• The patients shop around looking for cheaper alternatives and are no stuck with a more expensive procedure of correcting fake veneers and poor dental care
• Most freshly graduated dentists don’t do a market research of the prices. They falsely advertise promotions not knowing the actual rates for the raw materials. This means they end up buying cheaper products and compromising on the quality for their patients

‘Patients think veneers can be just bought over the counter. They don’t know the multiple people working behind one veneer. They don’t understand the material quality and how the dentists should be explaining the smile to them or how the Lab and dentist need to work together to make a person’s new smile.’ - Dr. Rabhi Abi Nader

This is the ugly truth in cosmetic dentistry. With no proper guidance to help dentist differentiate between quality material and a scam, many patients are in turn made to suffer these consequences.

How Can This Be Fixed?

• Educate patients on quality veneer materials.
• Provide comprehensive training for dentists on identifying quality materials.
• Increase awareness about the importance of investing in reputable dental labs.
• Work with only reputed brands and labs for these products
