After Doing Some Research On Veneers, I Want To Know If They Will Look Too Bulky?
Q.
I chipped my front tooth that had composite bonding. I was told to get 8 veneers. I have a slight overbite. I already had the prep work done and am on my 2nd dentist. I have the temporaries and there is a large space between the back of my top teeth and the front of my bottom teeth. You can stick your fingernail under them. I have been doing research online and saw if you have an overbite the veneers will look bulky. Is it too late to get composite bonding so I won’t have to worry?

Hi. Neither veneers or bonding will correct your overbite ( Do you actually mean overjet as this is the horizontal distance between the backs of your upper teeth and the fronts of the lowers?), and this space where you are able to get your fingernail is fixed. Also now that the teeth have been prepared for veneers then really there is no going back. I would however suggest that you ask your dentist to “try in” your veneers before they are cemented to ensure you are entirely happy with them. Quite often the definitive veneers can look significantly different (better) than the temporary ones. I hope this helps. Dr Marcus Gambroudes.
