Hello Rebecca,Porcelain veneers and crowns can be used to effectively correct an edge to edge bite. I would recommend seeing an experienced cosmetic dentist for a complete evaluation. I always recommend looking at before and after photos when choosing your dentist. They will give you a good idea about what you can expect. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO area (O'Fallon, IL)Real Self 100
Hey,Great question. I know there are several dentists who do veneers for patients with edge to edge bite, but I personally avoid doing that. I feel the chances of the veneer chipping off or breaking are much greater with such a bite. I would rather you consider orthodontic treatment or full crowns to address your problem.
Very good question. The answer is really dependent on your individual case. Without photos and an evaluation there is no way for a definitive answer to be given. Generally speaking, the answer is that in many cases Veneers can correct edge to edge bite issues. However, the rest of the "picture" must also be addressed. Why is there an edge to edge bite? Any TMJ problems? Are the teeth worn down from this bite? In many cases, orthodontics could be completed and the teeth still need to be restored due to damage and to restore the teeth to their correct length. Other considerations are the esthetics. Will your teeth appear too long if veneers are used? Perhaps have several consults with cosmetic dentist who have interests in bite issues and orthodontists as well.
You should seek a consultation by a cosmetic dentist or orthodontist to evaluate your condition. It could be possible, but it might not be the best option. You will get a proper opinion if you are seen in person.

Hello there,Veneers are made in all shapes, sizes and shades. It's important to discuss the results you would like to achieve with your dentist before starting the veneer process. That being said, it can take time to fall in love with your veneers. Unfortunately, it's hard to determine if your ...
Unfortunately spaces between your veneers can only be closed by replacing one or two veneers. Spacing can occur due to not trying the teeth in properly to determine the order of placement, or the glue/cement being used to put the teeth in hardens before tooth is...
