Right now I have temps which I hate on 4 teeth, my other teeth are OK, my only concern is that if I do 4 only, these 4 will be sticking out and won't blend together with my other natural teeth which are healthy. I'm afraid to extend it to 6 cause doctors usually recommend for 8 or 10 teeth, and by changing from 4 to 8 it means adding veneers on critical teeth which I use for biting food(Canine tooth+molar teeth. 4 teeth removed back then for having braces)- I don't want it to ruin my life. help!

Answer: Number of teeth for porcelain veneers depends on goals When designing a smile, there are several aspects that must be factored in to make them look and feel natural. If spaces are being closed, the teeth will naturally be wider as a result. This MAY make them the correct size relative to the adjacent teeth, but may not. It is usually due to these proportions (the "golden proportions", Fibonacci numbers, or phi matrix) that we suggest more teeth. If you are NOT changing the color of your teeth, you can do 2, 4, or even 6 veneers, but only if all other factors are acceptable. 8-10 is the normal number, and an experienced cosmetic dentist can explain clearly why, and show photos.There should be no worries about treating more teeth, they are not weaker. In fact, when done correctly porcelain veneers make the teeth stronger and more durable while giving you more control in the size, shape, color, and function.

Answer: Number of Veneers Hi:The main question for you to consider is how do you like the color of your remaining teeth next to the veneers. If you are happy with the color, 4 is enough if you are not happy with the color and would like dramatically whiter teeth then you can do more to improve the color as well. In terms of chewing with veneers, that should not present a problem. Your veneered teeth should function normally in terms of biting and chewing.Best of luck!
