Missing incisors

[Niki]

Hi

I have missing upper second incisors and years ago my orthodontist moved my canine teeth into the space of the missing incisors. Unfortunately its obvious by looking at my smile that some teeth must be missing, because the canines just look odd in that place and there is space between my front teeth.

I have been looking at various veneers and Lumineers options available to me to improve my smile and to give the appearance that my incisors are not missing. I would like to have the option that involves the least drilling of my own teeth.

One dentist that I saw recommended braces to open the space up again and then bridges but I don't wish to go through more brace treatment and I am really looking for quick treatment with veneers to give the impression that my missing incisors are still there. Which type of veneer do you recommend for my case?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

An interesting case but not uncommon. You do not need to worry at all and you have a multiple of choices from a very simple option of composite veneers to different types of porcelain veneers. Which one will suit you the best has to be assessed clinically and we would be very happy to see you and assess your case in a free consultation appointment. Then we can fully discuss the pros and cons of each option and advise you on the best course of treatment.
