Porcelain Veneers: Q&A
Ask a QuestionCan Veneers Be Done for Just Two Front Teeth to Close the Space Between Them?
Or they will they look much different comparing to the rest upper teeth? I heard that most of the time people get 6 or 8 veneers at once, but I am on a budget. Would be direct bonding a good alternative in a long run? I don't want to pay twice if I get bonding that may lasts few years and then to pay to replace the bonding with veneers. Any advice?

Veneers for two front teeth
Hey Anka10,
Sure, veneers can only be done on the two front teeth to close the gap. It's something I do at my office frequently. We just have to pay careful attention to make sure everything matches up well. At our office, we have a master ceramist who makes the crowns, he's the one who will take the shade to make sure it's accurate.
Good Luck!

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...

Two Veneers may work to close your space

If there is a question about proportion and space a diagnostic wax up is the method to allow us to evaluate how many Veneers would be best or needed for your specific case. This trial or "mock" wax up will give you a realistic...

Resin vs. Porcelain Veneers to Close Gap Between Front Teeth
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!

Porcelain veneers or composite bonding for central incisors
The choice of esthetic restorations for upper anterior teeth usually depends upon several factors: size of central incisors, color, their position and pre-existing restorations. For intact teeth with big size orthodontic treatment is usually a more adequate long-term option helping to preserve the esthetics. For smaller teeth and intact enamel composite bonding can be an option. And in case of undesirable color or pre-existing restorations porcelain veneers always will be a more esthetic...

Veneers on your two front teeth
As long as the spacing is not an issue and the veneers will not appear too big then you should be able to just do two of them. 4,6 or 8 may be ideal but you have to do what you budget will allow. Good luck to you

Closing A Space With Two Veneers
The answer to your question depends on how wide the space is between your two front teeth. If it is not too large, then two veneers will close the space perfectly. With larger spaces additional teeth are needed for a natural looking result. If you could provide a picture of your teeth it would be very easy to tell you exactly how many veneers would be needed in your particular case.
