Should I add veneers to my laterals? (Photo)

Hello there,Based on your photo, I would recommend adding 4 more veneers (Canine and lateral incisor on both sides).  This would give you a more beautiful smile by increasing the alignment of the teeth.  Of course this is totally up to you, whether you are pleased enough at this point, or whether you want your smile to be flawless.    I'm outside of St. Louis, MO in O'Fallon, IL, so if you want an expert opinion, give my office a call and come in for a consult. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSoft Touch Dentistry

When a patient wants porcelain veneers and they do not want to do their full smile, I usually recommend  doing the front 4 teeth rather than just the front 2.  It does give a better result for a smile.   In most cases though it is better if you do the front 4 at the same time. When you add on more veneers exact color match is more difficult,( though not impossible) ,  when done separately.  Have your doctor do a mock up with composite to see if you like the result,  If the answer is yes then I would recommend doing them.

if you are pleased with the color of your 2 front teeth, and your lateral incisors are not discolored, or spaced, then you are far better off leaving those teeth alone

The shade, shape, contours will be improved with veneering the laterals.  Typically, a more proportional, cosmetic result can be attained if four or more veneers are performed on the anterior teeth.  The doctor and lab can get a beautiful smile design going for you.  I hope this helps!
