My veneers are being made by the company you mentioned. The lab IN CHINA doesn't seem to understand the dentist's instructions and they continue to be sent back and forth and I've been fooling around for months. My teeth are now becoming sensitive and they already drilled down to the dentin. I'm afraid that I'll end up with root canals or lose my teeth because that company and the dentist are saving money!! On top of that, the National Association of Dental Laboratories is asking the FDA to regulate these Chinese imports due to toxic materials being used in their manufacture.

A Chinese manufacturer was quoted: "It?s too costly to make lead-free products," says alloy company owner Wang Qinjuan. "Chinese products have to be sold cheaply in foreign markets, or they are not competitive." (Fairclough, para. 25). How scary is that??? Another article noted that the glazes used on veneers are contaminated with lead as well. I don't know what to do at this point!
