Componeer vs veneers? (Photo)

Question

I am very embarrassed of my crowding and stained teeth. I am looking into my options but wasn't sure what to do. I hear componeers are half the price of veneers but do they last as long? Is it possible to only get my top teeth done even though my bottom teeth have crowding as well. What is the best option to enhance my smile cosmetically?

u have large buccal corridors and  contracted arch.best option for u is expand yr arch. by that u can  get hollywood smile. damon braces is best option for u.if u do not want to go for braces second option is veneers.BUT remember as yr laters are rotated . so good amount of tooth reduction is required. because , after preparation , people complain about 'more tooth preparation'.as i told u , yr both side laterals are rotated , so  if u r planning for componeers because of  minimum tooth reduction , not possible.

If you are completely ruling out orthodontics then it is my opinion thateither composite veneers or porcelain would work nicely.  Your teethwould require reshaping specifically around the front 4 teeth in order toget the results you are looking for.  Ultimately all the teeth in your smilezone would need to be treated with either composite or porcelain.Your smile should be broadened since it appears very tucked in.

Improving your smile may be a two part process. I would suggest beginning with orthodontics to widen your arch and improve the symmetry. After orthodontics you may want to consider some very conservative veneers on the two teeth with the spots. Your teeth have a very nice shape so once they are in better position your smile will be beautiful.
