Dallas Porcelain Veneers doctors

Thanks for explaining you current smile and its problems - but it is great that you have the easiest kind of smile to improve with porcelain veneers.  The result will be awesome.  You will be thrilled!

Back to your question - yes, after 20 years there are some veneer cases that need to be re-done.  This is due to the porcelain wearing out or other functional use problems.  But this isn't the case for all veneer patients.  I did several full veneer cases in the 80's that are still beautiful and don't require anything new or have need to be re-done.  You may be one of these cases.

It depends on the size of the space. There is an engineering proof called the Golden Principle which simply state says the width a tooth can be created and still look natural is dependent on the length. It is important that the veneer edges go under the gum a certain distance on the space side Dependent on how big the space is. Another idea is to cut some off the outside of the front teeth and bond or veneer the laterals and then bond the two centrals. This will create a beautiful balanced smile when done by a master cosmetic dentist.

Sometimes less can be more, and in this case, cosmetic bonding may be what works best for your situation! Assuming that doing cosmetic work on just the 2 front teeth would significantly improve your smile and your confidence, this is a simple way to achieve a great-looking smile with less time, less money and less (no) tooth removal. Make sure that you find a qualified cosmetic dentist who has plenty of before and after photos of actual patients you can look at. Good luck!
