Hello, well obviously as you can see from the pictures my teeth are far away from a Hollywood smile. I have a overbite which has been reduced through Invisalign and closed up my gaps. But the over bite is still thier, it's about as big as half my pinkie finger width. So not huge but not great. However I am still not happy. I have a very gummy smile naturally and hate the shape of my teeth. Are veeners the way forward for me?

Answer: Veneers or not ... #DrSarahThompson #RealSelf100
Based on your description, this could be due to nerve death within the tooth, leakage of between the tooth and veneer, or staining. Staining usually would present on more than one tooth, so this cause is less likely. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more...
If you don't like your veneers, I would highly recommend not having them cemented. Once you have them cemented, it is unlikely that your dentist will be able to redo them at no charge. You are pretty much throwing away your money if you are not happy with them prior to cementation....
If holding the shade tab up next to the veneer doesn't answer your question then use a shade gun. Many dentists like myself have a digital shade matching gun. It will test the shade of porcelain and measure shade in teeth.
