I still have a baby tooth at 20 years of age (Canine). I was just wondering if I could still get it done?

You can certainly make changes on the way your teeth look with Veneers,they are fine laminates of porcelain that are made in the Lab,that will change the way your teeth look and that way your smile will look more nice and even,shape size and even color can be transformed with this solution,and can be made in only 2 appointments,now about the baby tooth x  rays and smile design needs to be done

The answer is Yes since any tooth can be veneered, however it is important that you consider three things.  Most importantly does the deciduous/baby tooth (canine) have adequate root length and bone support.  Secondly, based on your photo you should consider Invisalign orthodontics to align your teeth better.  This will not only improve your smile, but make your teeth healthier and easier to maintain.   Thirdly, it is critical when doing veneers that you have healthy gums and supporting bone. In other words your mouth should have well established periodontal health.  If not, it may not be long after you veneers are completed that your roots show and the appearance of your veneers becomes less than what you would like.  Also you should not look for a bargain in finding someone to do them.  If they are done well they will look natural, your smile will look terrific, and they will last indefinitely.  Get the opinion of more than one good Cosmetic General dentists.
