Can veneers be done on baby teeth? (Photo)

RimHOct 11, 2019
I had only changed the 2 middle upper teeth on my upper jaw, rest is baby teeth. In 3D scans baby teeth roots looks so strong, my main dentist advised to keep my natural teeth as most likely they will stay my life time, however I went to a cosmetic dentist who prefers to go for implants. Can I use veneers on top of my natural baby teeth just for making them bigger? They do function perfectly fine and I chew perfectly....it is just the shape thats's concerning me.
