Do veneers affect bite, speech and sensitivity?

October 1, 2017
Asked By:gigiandcami in Jacksonville, FL

I've been doing so much research and I am ready to start saving for veneers, but I have a few questions. I don't want to get them if they'll affect my bite or speech or if it'll hurt to eat and drink cold/hot things. I also want them to look natural and not bulky/square, and I don't want them blindingly white. I only want 2 on my front teeth but I have a feeling 4 teeth will be pushed on me so it looks more natural. Would 2 be a weird amount?

I would recommend veneers over bonding to add length to your teeth! In addition to looking way better, veneers last longer and offer a more permanent solution. If you have teeth that have been previously bonded, you'll still be a candidate for porcelain veneers in the...
