What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I just had my veneers done yesterday and was extremely unhappy with the result... even the temporary veneers I had were better than this! Here's what happened:
The dentist had me sign an agreement in the very beginning saying that "no matter what happens later, I will be responsible for the problems it might bring to the veneers" and yesterday another agreement saying something like "these teeth all look good" BEFORE he cemented them on. He put all the veneers there on my teeth w/o cement so they were kind of loose and I guess it's the reason why I didn't see very clearly. BUT, after he cemented them on, at one point he refused to let me see the mirror (saying he's not done yet while his assistant attempted to hand me the mirror), I was too painful to care too much, but now all the teeth are tilted to the right, and it's kind of obvious to me because I never had tilted teeth before, even though my teeth weren't perfect. (I'm not sure if it's because the way he cemented on was bad or the veneers themselves are bad) but I am pretty sure I didn't see them the way they were before. I was in a lot of pain and I complained the veneers were still too long, and he told me to wait a few days to let my lips to get less swollen (they aren't swollen anymore) and judge whether the teeth are still too long. But now I also see my veneers are not the same shade they should be, and there are also 2 veneers that aren't big enough to cover my teeth, making it a gap between my gum and veneers... sigh... although these teeth are on the side, but I paid so much because I didn't want mediocre work, this is way out of expectation. Can I sue him? He made me sign all the papers before he cemented them on. I called him last night to discuss my problems and all I heard was "I will do any adjustment to your teeth" but the thing is, they are all tilted the only thing I can do now is to take them off and cemented new ones back again, which I m pretty sure he wouldn't do because it costs so much time and money, and I'm pretty sure he would say I OKed the teeth myself (when I approved them, my gum were a bit swollen from last time so I didn't see the gaps). I think because he knew I was leaving the States in a short time, so he just rushed everything to make more money from me. And by the way, is it true that a dentist shouldn't perform any cosmetic dental work if my gum was a bit infected?
Please... tell me if it's possible to sue him?... As I'm also leaving the States soon... I don't know what to do.
I think I should've considered it way more carefully before I had my veneers replaces, now I really regretted doing it and it costed me $12000+, if I were given a second chance, I WOULD NOT do it because it's like spending a lot and it's not even something I would love and I'm scared now because damages are done and I'm only 25!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
