After getting two veneers for upper front teeth I notice change the the shape of my jaw. It looks thinner and more sunken. Is it possible that two veneers can cause this or is it weight loss because these veneers have me in a lot of stress and worry.

Answer: Can Veneers change the shape of your face?
No....not your jaw. Veneers can change your smile. They can also decrease some of the lines around your mouth and seem to create fuller lips but it will not change the contour of your jaw. You only had two veneers placed and I am sorry they have caused you stress and worry. They should have made you happier with your smile. If you are uncomfortable with them or unhappy with them in anyway, please go back and discuss this with your dentist. I am assured he wants you to be happy with his work and the outcome of your veneers and you do not seem to be. Weight loss can change your face but it has to be enough. Please see your dentist and talk with him about how you feel.

Answer: 2 Veneers can NOT change the shape of your jaw
While your appearance probably changed dramatically from the placement of the veneers, the 2 veneers very unlikely changed the actual shape of your jaw-bone. You would know if you lost a dramatic amount of weight. That would make your jawbone appear thinner.
