I want to bulk out my smile by adding width to teeth 4, 5, 12 and 13. One dentist says that veneers are not a good idea for back teeth, but another says they aren't a problem. Opinions please! Thanks in advance!

Answer: They are perfect for your problem. If your only problem is you need to see more of those premolar teeth when you smile, porcelain veneers are a perfect solution. They will be covering the non-functional cusp of the tooth and will not be in an area that will have a lot of forces applied to them.

Answer: Are veneers a good idea for back teeth? Veneers are an excellent way of building out your upper bicuspids (in dental terms. called "building out the buccal corridor"). We do this all the time!If your dentist says that it is not a good idea, my "guess" is that he has limited experience or training placing porcelain veneers.You might be interested in going to the web link below, as there are several examples of me doing exactly what you are asking about.
