Can Porcelain Veneers Make Small Teeth Look Larger?

Porcelain veneers are the best and most aesthetic way to correct teeth that are too narrow for your mouth.  These types of cases can be done very conservatively as far as the amount of tooth structure that needs to be removed. Many times these can be done without removing any enamel.  The key is to make sure that you place the porcelain veneers on all of the teeth that show when you smile.  For most people this is between 8-10 teeth.  Doing less would give a less than desirable result.  Your case could probably be completed in just two visits.  If your small teeth are a result of excess gum tissue , then a laser could be used to remove the extra gingival tissues further enhancing your final result.  Good luck.

Absolutely!!  One of the many perks of veneers is exactly that, to make teeth look longer, to improve the overall shape and look of the teeth.  Depending how small/short your natural teeth are, if they're super ground down or super short, then maybe crowns will be indicated.

Sorry to write a simple answer to your question, but you really need to give a photo to show how your teeth are small and the relation between their size and the gaps between them. A smiling photo, a resting photo and one where your lips are moved out of the way. 
What is possible and is needed is really a relation between the size of your face and the size of the teeth, and the gaps between them determines if veneers or aligners are most appropriate. 
Hope this has been some help.

Yes, you can design veneers to look larger than your existing teeth. It is generally advised to take study models of your teeth and perform a waxup of your teeth, made to look larger, so that the proportions can be properly analyzed and to make sure that they will be appropriate in terms of function. But yes, you can definitely make them look bigger than your existing ones.

Ok so the question is can
porcelain veneers make my small teeth look bigger…absolutely. Porcelain veneers are a wonderful option for
that because we can change shape, we can change size, we can change contours
and colors and can make smiles appear whiter. Certainly thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the expectations
and make sure that can be matched but definitely porcelain veneers are great
option for that.

Yes...absolutely!  Porcelain veneers or direct composite bonding are often the best way to make small teeth look larger.However larger can mean a lot of things, so your cosmetic dentist has to determine what precisely you mean by larger?  Longer?  Wider? Thicker or more pronounced?  Larger in general shape?You see, cosmetic dentistry is actually an art form and it differs many ways from regular dentistry or orthodontics.  Your cosmetic dentist will evaluate many things before he/she recommends or designs your new porcelain veneers:how long your teeth are compared to normal teeth?how wide your teeth are compared to normal teeth?how much of your teeth show when you smile?when your lips are completely relaxed, and your back teeth separated, how much of your upper teeth show below your upper lips?does the shape of your teeth conform to norms of age, gender, facial shape?is there too much gums on your teeth hiding your teeth (actually a excess gum issue and not a tooth size issue)?the size of your jawsany spacing or overlapping (crowding) of your teethAfter your dentist evaluates the above mentioned things he/she can give you recommendations on what could be done.  Then, if you agree with your dentist and like the recommendations, it is all up to you.  To have cosmetic dental treatment or not?  But it all starts with the initial consultation.And one word of advice, not all dentists who say they are a cosmetic dentist are.  Find a good cosmetic dentist from their website.  Ask to see before and after photos of patients they have ACTUALLY treated.  Find out how long they have been practicing, how much experience they have and how much and where they got the cosmetic dental training.  Choose your cosmetic dentist wisely!

When the teeth do not match the dimensions of the mouth or face, then it is time to get some veneers.

In some cases there are gaps present between the small teeth and these teeth can be moved closer to close the gaps and then they don't look so small and isolated.

In most cases a good cosmetic dentist can create a mock up of your new veneers before you commit.

You may even get to try on the mock up at the surgery.

Invisalign or veneers should be fine.

Many cosmetic dentists and plastic surgeons understand that facial symmetry and proper proportionality lead to ideal esthetics.  Making your teeth the right size for your face will greatly enhance your smile.  Whether your teeth have been worn done from tooth grinding or you were just born with smaller teeth, porcelain veneers can add contour to create the proper proportions.

Changing the sizes of teeth can affect your bite significantly and careful planning on the part of the dentist is required.

Teeth can be small for a number of reasons. The teeth may be too short, to narrow or too much gum tissue may be visible. 

Veneers can make teeth look larger from side to side (width), and they can also make your teeth look longer towards the chewing surface if your bite allows increased length. If they need to be made longer towards the gums then crown lengthening / gum lift / smile lift would be recommended to raise the gum level. This would also make your teeth look larger.

You are absolutely right!!  As a cosmetic dentist i can change the shape, color, and length of patients’ teeth with the application of ultra-thin shells of porcelain known as veneers. Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit perfectly over a patient’s original teeth, and the procedure can be completed in just two visits to our office. I often use veneers to cover chipped or discolored teeth, and to fill minor gaps by creating a veneer that is slightly wider than the natural tooth. Also also using veneers to add length to teeth that are too short can be done to improve the appearance of one tooth, several teeth, or an entire row of front teeth for a complete smile makeover. Because the porcelain is translucent, much like a real tooth, porcelain veneers are extremely natural looking and blend in with surrounding teeth. A beautiful smile doesn’t just improve self-esteem: studies show that it can also have a strong effect on social and career success.
