i am planning to get veneers for my anterior six teeth .....as compared to the lower teeth, the upper ones are much bigger......will veneering help my case?....will my teeth look even bigger with veneers? i m really worried.
Answer: Veneers for Big Teeth
Porcelain veneers do have a tendency to make teeth appear slightly larger. In your situation I would recommend orthodontic treatment either with either braces or Invisalign to align your teeth first. You have several teeth that are out of alignment. Preparing these teeth for veneers without orthodontic treatment would require the removal of a lot of healthy tooth structure.

Answer: Will Veneers Work for big Teeth or Misaligned Teeth
Yes veneers can change the size, shape, color and position somewhat of teeth. The other option at your photo would be orthodontics to better position the teeth. Some cosmetic treatment might still be needed to give you the smile you desire, but it would be less invasive due to better tooth position to work with.

Answer: Are veneers a good option for big teeth?
They can be in most cases your teeth are not to big you just have to much crowding upper arch maybe to small, I suggest orthodontic to be considered and If you proceed with veneers have your dentist do a diagnostic wax up first so you can see before treatment if you will be happy good luck

Answer: Veneers For Big Teeth
Careful planning by your dentist should keep your veneers from looking to large.
One way to determine what the final result could look like is to have models of your teeth reshaped before you even decide to proceed with any treatment.

Answer: Veneers as a treatment option for big teeth
Close up photos would be helpful here but based on this one photo, I would suggest considering straightening your teeth first either with short-term braces or perhaps invisalign before considering veneers. This will minimize the amount of enamel that will need to be removed from your teeth for the veneers. Also be sure to ask for a wax model of the veneers before your teeth are touched which will show you what the veneers will look like and also helps the dentist know how much enamel needs to be removed. I also agree that if you do decide to have veneers done, to consider 8 to 10 instead of just 6. Good luck!
