It is no secret that I have incredibly stubby teeth, which is the main reason I want to have the veneers in the first place so that they look more in proportion with my mouth. However, I am so worried that the very reason that I want them will be the very reason that stops me. I mean I guess theres only so much tooth there to stick them on to and this could be a problem. Do people with my issue manage to have veneers or is it not going to happen for me. Asking now rather than wasting my time going to a dentist for them to tell me no. I think I would be much more disappointed then. Thanks for advice, Vanny.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Yes, in many cases, patients with stubby or shorter teeth can have veneer treatments that totally transform the look of their smiles. The cement that is used to bond the specially made veneers is strong and robust, meaning that the veneers can be held in place very firmly and securely, even on smaller teeth. The other option that can be considered is a composite bonding treatment. This material can be sculpted onto the teeth to make them appear longer, fuller, and more in proportion with the mouth. Cosmetic dentists are specially trained to ensure that veneers or composites match the proportions of the patient’s face. Either one of these treatments could be suitable. However, there are some restrictions to having these, such as the presence of decay, weak enamel, gum disease, illness, etc. To find out if you are eligible for veneer or a composite bonding treatment you will need to book in for a consultation with a skilled and reputable cosmetic dentist. Best of luck to you.
