A member asked:
Had veneers fitted, returned due to black dot, dentist drilled surface of veneer. now that part not shiny. has he removed protective glaze/coating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No he has not: The fact is the surface of a veneer is shiny because it is either polished, glazed or both. Using a drill can cause that 'polish' to go away. However, by polishing it well, it can become just as shiny as before. But don't worry, because it does not weaken or damage the veneer at all
