I want to get veneers but I have 2 front teeth that are pushed back out of position. Do they need to be extracted? (Photo)

Question

Doug Jopling, DDS · Answer

Hi,I love doing veneers, and I am very good at it. Your case, however, should be treated with orthodontic therapy and not veneers.I have successfully treated cases just like yours with Invisalign, and you should consider this treatment because it will put your own natural, healthy teeth into their proper functional and esthetic position which will also give you lip support and a broadened smile.My recommendation is Invisalign and whitening and not veneers. I am in the Dallas area and see many people from across the state in my practice. If you would like to come in for a free consultation, I would enjoy meeting you to explain how you could have me treat this in just a few trips.Doug Jopling, DDS

Thanks for the pictures and questions.Best option is orthodontics then veneers.Assuming you wanted this fixed yesterday, you could extract those two teeth and place two (3 unit) all ceramic bridges. This is a more aggressive approach, however its an option you can consider.

yr both upper lateral incisors are out of arch , so no to veneers, u r an ideal case for aligner / invisalign.

Amber Garcia, DDS · Answer

I would recommend orthodontic treatment over veneers. You should consider Invisalign or another clear aligner system. You can whiten your teeth as your straighten them with clear aligners keeping your natural, healthy teeth without causing any damage to them.

Hi:Due to the position of your two lateral teeth, it is best to straighten out your teeth with orthodontic treatment first.Best,Dr. Maddahi
