Do Veneers Make Your Teeth Look Bigger?
What’s Up Doc?
You may like Bugs Bunny but you probably do not want to look like Bugs Bunny. However some people actually do as they want big anterior teeth. Maybe a big pair of upper chomper’s isn’t the look you’re going for but that’s up to you.
Sometimes your front teeth do not look the way you would like them to. Nature can be cruel, but as dentists we can out maneuver nature. Your teeth may be discolored or have distorted shapes leading to a non pleasing appearance. What can you do? Ideally orthodontics where your teeth are moved into a more pleasing and functional appearance can be done but many patients will not accept the time to accomplish the procedure.
As an alternative porcelain veneers can be done. These are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your anterior teeth to correct the unacceptable color or shape of these teeth. For veneers to look natural we need to reduce some of your teeth in most cases. If no reduction is done the finished veneers can look too big and bulky.
There are multiple alternatives to correcting your teeth to give a more pleasing look. Since you lead with your smile and many of us are now on zoom conference calls your teeth are apparent.
