Porcelain Veneers Can Correct Your Smile
8-10 Porcelain Veneers, along with a gingivoplasty (gum procedure) on your lateral tooth to bring the gum level symmetrical with your other teeth, will make a vast improvement in your smile. Make sure you visit a well-qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist. Ask to see photos of his prior work.

How Can Porcelain Veneers Correct my Smile? (photo)
Veneers can correct many problems in smiles: from small gaps or uneven edges to major things like big gaps and crooked teeth.
With any cosmetic improvement, the options depend upon what changes you want. It ranges from "better" to "perfect".

Braces or Veneers
Yes you can correct your smile with porcelain veneers. You would need 8 veneers to get a good result. Minimum would be 4. Do not do 6 under any circumstances as it will look fake. If you like the color and shape of your teeth and just don't like their position or alignment then you may consider Invisalign or Braces. The advantage to this treatment is that it is not invasive. Remember that veneers don't last forever and will have to be redone at some point in the future at additional costs.

Can Porcelain Veneers Correct Your Smile
Hi Gustavo, your first step would be to schedule a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist. They would need to check your bite to see if you would be a candidate for porcelain veneers. They should show you many examples of before-and-after photos so you can have an idea of what your results can look like. If they do not think you would be a candidate for veneers right away, they may recommend braces to shift your teeth into the ideal placement so your veneers...

Are you a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
I would recommend you see a qualified cosmetic oriented dentist to sit and talk with you about your smile. The number one choice to correct misaligned teeth are with braces. If you don't want braces, you can have a diagnostic wax-up done to see what your smile would look like if you did veneers. I caution you to think very carefully about veneers if you have healthy teeth that are just crooked. Must success-Do your research for your smile for the most...

Veneer versus Orthodontic treatment. Considering all of the options.
I always start my cosmetic consultations by taking a thorough medical and dental history, any needed x-rays as well as photos and diagnostic models. The next step is to sit with the patient and really listen to what it is that the patient wants to accomplish. Do they love their teeth (shape, size and color) and just wish that they were straight? Does the patient feel as though they show too much gum tissue when they smile? Do they dislike the shape, size...

A combination of braces and veneers will give you the best result
You could do veneers only (without braces). It will require 8-10 veneers and because some teeth are "out" and some are "in", it will require some teeth to be filed more agressively. Also, the gums are not even, so you would have to have gum recontouring surgery.
However, if you do braces with a very good orthodontist, then you will likely only need 4 veneers (and maybe teeth whitening)because braces can correct the gum levels as well as missaligned teeth.
This means that really...

Can veneers correct my smile?
The short answer is yes, in most cases I believe you are better off with braces rather than artificial veneers on your teeth, however if you don't like the size shape and color of your teeth veneers maybe a better option. I most cases veneers will be between 1000.00 and 2000.00 per tooth and take 1-3 visits. I suggest doing a cosmetic work up with a computer mock up or diagnostic wax up so you know what your smile will look like before your treatment is started good luck Kevin Coughin DMD,...
