Veneers to cover a bridge? (photo)

Question

I'm looking for advice regarding veneers on a bridge. I have a bridge instead of tooth 4 and would like a veneer to even out the hollowness and color. Does that make sense? What kind of veneers are recommended?

It is possible to place porcelain veneers over existing porcelain crowns. The porcelain on the bridge is roughened up with a bur and then etched with hydroflouride acid. The new veneers are then bonded onto the previously etched crowns. The veneers will bond to the porcelain on the existing bridge but will not bond to any exposed metal on the bridge
