Q. Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to add veneers to existing crowns? I have a fairly extensive bridge on my upper front teeth but have always felt that they are too flat and small compared to what my natural teeth would look like. I would love to have them longer and a bit more prominent and hoped that adding veneers may just be the answer? Many thanks,

A. Hi

Thanks for your questions, it isn’t possible to add veneers to existing crowns. Veneers can only be placed directly onto your teeth. Once a tooth has been crowned, you would need to discuss replacing the crowns with your dentist, but I would recommend that you explain the reasons why you do not like the existing crowns. The dentist should be able to take an impression of your existing crowns and your bridgework and ask his laboratory to create a wax up of the results which would be possible with new crowns and a new bridge to acheive the look that you long for. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can assist you further.
Kindest Regards
