I got them to cover a 2mm. My teeth were originally skinny now they look quite bigger obviously to cover in a 2mm gap. I'm worried they look too big though, do they look bad? They're not glued in yet, going tomorrow, but i'm worried. Should i have some shaved off the bottom so they don't look so big, or will that look worse? My dentist thinks they look completely normal, and i'm just not used to it due to previously skinny teeth. What does everyone think? Do they look ok or what is recommended?

Answer: We All Agree I agree with the other dentists comments. If you look into adding any more veneers, like the 2 teeth on either side of the new veneers, DO HAVE THE DENTIST DO A " MOCK UP" in composite on the 2 side teeth. That way you can view, in your own mouth, how adding only the 2 teeth on either side will look. I cannot even tell by a photo if it will work or not. I need to look at you in the chair.Will it look disproportional to the cuspids, the eye teeth, which are still a bit narrow? I don't know. Myself and the other dentists are trying to think of a way you might salvage what you have, while making it look much better.Lesson the be learned here, is ALWAYS VIEW A WAX UP OF WHAT WILL BE DONE TO YOUR TEETH, prior to going ahead with anything. Perhaps 2 veneers was not the best cosmetic treatment. Including more teeth from the get-go, might have looked much better Those of us with expert experience in cosmetic dentistry will almost never proceed with veneers without a wax up. In my office, when a patient presents with a large space (diastema) between front teeth, or any other teeth, I do a pretend bonding, right in the office, closing the space. Both the patient AND I, LOOK TOGETHER. I can usually only tell if veneering only 2 teeth will appear too large. I like the "in the chair check, "for myself and the patient.How many veneers should be done, depends on the size of the gap and the size of the surrounding teeth. I have done my cases both ways, sometimes only bonding the space by adding bonding to look natural, not even covering the whole tooth. Sometimes 2 veneers, and sometimes 4 or 6 to get the nicest result.But never without first doing the Cosmetic Mock Up, that both the patient and I like the result!

Answer: Oversized veneers Your veneers do appear very large because your other teeth are small and tipped inward. I think you should consider doing more teeth and leaving the front two the size they are. I like the size if there were other teeth adjacent to them that supported their size. The fact that your other teeth tip inward allows for very conservative additive restorations to be placed adjacent to the central teeth. Your outcome would be amazing.
