How Close Should Temporary Veneers Look Like the Permament Ones?

How Close Should Temporary Veneers Look Like the Permament Ones?

A: How Close Should Temporary Veneers Look Like the Permament Ones?

Temporary veneers should look and feel just the way that you want the final veneers to look and feel.  In fact, we no longer use the term temporaries, but rather they are called prototypes.  This an important distinction because the purpose of these prototypes is to guide the laboratory in fabricating your final veneers.  The protypes should be tweeked until you are truly satisfied with the look, feel, and phonetics.  Once this is accomplished, impressions and photos of the prototypes should be sent to the lab so that they can be used as a blueprint.

Veneers or Braces for Teeth Gaps?

I had bottom wisdom teeth taken out as a teenager. Now, I have gaps in lower teeth. I have two lower bridges to cover where missing teeth used to be, but I feel self-conscious when I smile because of the gaps.Which is best for me, veneers or braces? I am age 50+

A: Braces vs Veneers

This is a great question, and it really depends on many different factors. Are the gums and supporting bone around these teeth in good health? How will moving the lower front teeth impact the bite? Do the lower front teeth have fillings? How large are the spaces? Are the spaces all equal? Do you like the color of these teeth?

Depending on the answers to these questions, you may want to do braces, veneers, or a combination of both.

Hope this helps!
