Can Veneers Be Done for Just Two Front Teeth to Close the Space Between Them?

The answer to your question depends on how wide the space is between your two front teeth.  If it is not too large, then two veneers will close the space perfectly.  With larger spaces additional teeth are needed for a natural looking result.  If you could provide a picture of your teeth it would be very easy to tell you exactly how many veneers would be needed in your particular case. 

Yes, however a cosmetic specialist will be able to determine if that is your best option. If the gap is too large, 2 extremely wide teeth may appear over-sized relative to your other teeth, presenting a different cosmetic shortfall.Best of luck.James Asaf, DDS

It depends on the size of the space. There is an engineering proof called the Golden Principle which simply state says the width a tooth can be created and still look natural is dependent on the length. It is important that the veneer edges go under the gum a certain distance on the space side Dependent on how big the space is. Another idea is to cut some off the outside of the front teeth and bond or veneer the laterals and then bond the two centrals. This will create a beautiful balanced smile when done by a master cosmetic dentist.

The placement of two Porcelain Veneers will most definitely work if the pre-existing space between your two front teeth is not too large.  If the space is too large and you try to close it with just two Veneers it will make your Smile look unnatural. If there is a question about proportion and space a diagnostic wax up is the method to allow us to evaluate how many Veneers would be best or needed for your specific case. This trial or "mock" wax up will give you a realistic preview as to what you can expect from your final Porcelain Veneers. The question in your case is basically how much preexisting space exists between your two Centrals. Good Luck!

When considering closing a space between the two front teeth you should discuss all options.  The options are 1. Orthodontics - this would close the space by moving your natural teeth together.  2. Cosmetic Bonding - this procedure involves adding composite resin, that is tooth colored, to the sides of the teeth to close the space.  3. Porcelain veneers - in most cases the some tooth structure is removed to allow the porcelain veneer to restore the structure and is fabricated to close the space.  Everyone's situation and budget is different.  So select a cosmetic dentist that is trained in all these procedures and discuss the pros and cons of each for your case.  In my office we offer a free cosmetic consultation and develop the appropriate plan for each patient.
