How can I reverse the veneers I have because they are too big?

Q.
I had veneers fitted to my 2 front teeth to narrow my gap 10 years ago the only problem is i’ve always felt that my front teeth look massive in comparison to the rest of my teeth and it makes me embarrassed to smile as people notice how big they are, would I be able to get them reveneered so the teeth are smaller or am I stuck with big teeth?

I’m not sure why the dentist just veneered the front two and left the incisors either side the same size, so don’t know if an option would be to veneer the incisors either side so they are slightly bigger and make the two big teeth slightly smaller, i always feel like people notice how big they are and it does nothing for my confidence. I don’t mind having a small gap just the big teeth that goes with it. Do you think it is something i could look at getting fixed or just learn to live with big teeth. The two front teeth measure 0.5mm and the incsiors at either side are roughly 0.3mm, the first thing you notice when i smile is two tombstone teeth which is not a nice look lol. I bope there is something that can be done to make the teeth smaller

Hi and thank you for your questions.

The best piece of advice I can give you now is to attend a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist. There are lots of potential variables involved in your treatment options and it’s nearly impossible to give you accurate answers without fully assessing your situation.

Your suggestion to alos veneer additional teeth may actually be a good solution but it will depend on the space requirements. Sometimes we have to veneer multiple teeth to be able to make the teeth the ‘ideal’ proportions. You could also maybe have an orthodontic option to actually close the space and then the veneers could be made smaller or replaced with smaller ones?

A good consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist will help with finding out some answers

Best wishes
