I have had veneers to address a missing R lateral incisor (as a kid I had braces to move the canine forward, and had a veneer, but over time a gap developed and the veneer needed replaced). Now I have six veneers. largely happy with them, but there is a horsey-ness, and I am wondering if I should ask the edges to be rounded a bit? Or how can it be more natural? Perhaps I just need to get used to them? I have been told I might need to do 8-10 total to soften the total effect.
