I want to lengthen my veneers just a bit without it looking like a horse. I have my temporaries on and I just want them a little bit longer. My dentist said she can shorten them if I feel it's too long. Will that weaken the veneers ? And if I decided to make them longer how much mm do you think?

Answer: Lengthen veneers Without an evaluation in office that question cannot be answered. Need to evaluate how you speak with added length, what the preps were like, how your smile is at rest. Have the temps lengthened and see if you like them.You can shorten permanent veneers , but only slightly as that will effect the aesthetics. The strength will not be compromised

Answer: Should I lengthen my porcelain veneers? If the photos that are above your question are yours, then I think that your dentist has the veneers at the ideal length for you and the rest of your smile. That being said, you are the person that has to be pleased with the result. So why not ask your dentist to lengthen your temporary veneers so that you both can see how they will look. This should not take much time, and then you and your dentist will be assured that you are happy with the final result. Good Luck, Dr. Gary Braunstein
