Hello there,Veneering only your two front teeth will result in wide, large teeth. I would recommend veneering four or more teeth for the best aesthetic result. If you are unsure about what to expect, your dentist can create a wax up. This will allow you to see how your teeth are going to look before your teeth are prepped. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Your best non-invasive option is to just move your teeth into proper position by closing the gap. Two veneers will make your front two teeth look too big and out of proportion. You can not do no-prep veneers if you just do 2, 4 or 6 teeth because they would sitck out past the surface of your teeth. If you do 2,4 or 6 veneers, you will have to drill down the front surface of your teeth which would be aggressive, destructive treatment.You could do 8 no-prep veneers, and you would would not need any enamel drilled off; but this will cost much more than doing orthodontic treatment. You can do 4 veneers, but you will be losing healthy, natural tooth structure with this option. Better to keep all of your natural, beautiful enamel and colse the space orthodontically for less cost.
The proportions of your mouth would best be served by doing at least 4 teeth. Your front teeth are much larger (proportionately than they should be) than your lateral teeth (the teeth next to them). Honestly 8 teeth will allow you color control and look better.
I would suggest a minimum of four veneers. Having only two done will not be aesthetically pleasing. You will appear to have two very large front teeth, rabbit-like.

Hello there,I'm sorry that you're unhappy with the veneers that your dentist did, but from your description of things, I wouldn't call him unprofessional. I always tell patients to look at the before and after photos and read the reviews of the dentist that you select to do your porcelain v...
Hello there,Porcelain veneers can be bonded to an all porcelain bridge, but I would not recommend this. The cost to bond veneers to your current bridge would be equal to or more than the cost of a new bridge. The best option for you would be to replace your current bridge with a new bridge...
Speech can be affected after any type of cosmetic dental procedure, including dental veneers. Dental veneers are thin sheets of porcelain or resin composite that are bonded to your teeth. Speech issues will usually correct themselves after wearing for a couple of weeks. However, if you are still...
A dentist trained in cosmetic dentistry should be able to add additional veneers and match them to the existing 4. It would be very beneficial to find out what type of porcelain was used on the four veneers so that it could be matched with the same type of material for the new veneers. If you do...
While your gums will not grow back, the permanent veneers should cover these spaces better. Black triangles should always be taken into consideration when prepping and placing veneers. I tend to make the teeth slightly wider in those areas to cover the spaces. It makes for a very beautiful sm...
