I had 8 porcelain veneers placed about 6 years ago. Immediately I was unhappy with the appearance but could not necessarily figure out what it was I was unhappy with. In time I realized it was that I feel the veneers appear too bulky. I’m considering getting them redone. I would just like to know if I do get them replaced and ask for smaller less bulky ones will they look better with my smile or is the structure of my mouth/smile that comes of bulky so any size veneer would appear too large?
