Can I get veneers for lateral incisors only? (photos)

Question

I don’t hate my smile, but I do feel like my lateral incisors for quite small. I don’t like the “fake” look of a whole mouth of veneers when all the teeth look the exact same shape and size. I’d like to keep some “character” to my smile, but improve the look. Can I get veneers just for the lateral incisors? Or should I do something else?

Thank you for reaching out. Short answer is yes, you can have veneers done only on the laterals. I have done several successful cases only on those 2 teeth.
If you would ask though what would be ideal treatment, my answer would be to involve more teeth. The reason being is laterals are looking much smaller then centrals on the picture provided. They are looking not proportional. If you would be open to doing more veneers, the whole overall smile will look more symmetrical and even. When done right, porcelain veneers look very natural.

You are absolutely correct! If you are happy overall with your teeth - improving the 2 laterals only will be a great way to fix what you are bothered by. The biggest part is getting a good shade match to your existing teeth. Dont worry though, I have done several cases just like this, and they worked out great.
