Can I have my teeth straightened and get a natural smile with veneers

Q. Hi Andrew I am looking to get my teeth done and i want a very natural smile makeover. I currently live in spain and although the dental practices out here speak perfect english i wanted to know if you could give me any advise and help with the questions below. What are best Lumineers or Veneers. I havnt got bad teeth , they just cross over ( the two middle teeth ) I just want a smile that is perfect and white , although not looking like i have had them done , if you know what i mean. I do TV work , so its massively important that i’m happy after and that i dont look like a cheap job has been done , like you see with some smile makeovers. I know its hard for you as you havnt seen my Teeth , but what should i ask and can you tell me if the below dentist looks to be good from their website – www.prodentalcare.eu They mention that they use porcelain , can you tell me what grade of lab i should ask to use and the grade of the technician? What questions should i ask to see if they are a specialist cosmetic artistic dentist? Can you tell me what bonding i should ask them to use? From my research i have been told that Procera or Fortress veneers are the best for a more natural looking makeover. As i feel that i will only need 6 upper veneers , i will have to bleach my bottom teeth. The reason for this is that you only see six of my teeth when i smile. my two front upper teeth are longer than the rest and cross over. But i have also been told that i should bleach all my teeth first then wait 4 weeks for the colour to stabilise? I want a white , beautiful , perfect smile.. Looking natural at the same time. I hope you can set my mind at rest. I am now only 28 – how long will the veneers last before i have to get them redone. I have also read that they can pop off? it’s literaly all i think about. Hope to hear from you soon

A. Hi
The most important thing in choosing a dentist for this type of treatment is to go for a personnal recommendation. It isn’t possible to tell from a website what the quality of work is like. If you can find a friend who has had treatment with a result you approve of, then ask them for an opinion on your case. The quality of the veneers is a combination of the type of porcelain used and the quality of the technician making the veneers, although there are many types of porcelain the result will depend on the way it is used by the technician.

Veneers usually last around 10years and can pop off, with this in mind you may want to consider some sort of ‘invisable’ orthodontics before whitening the teeth, your request of a naturally perfect white smile is probably the hardest to acheive using veneers so you may need to downgrade your expectations or consider straightening your own natural teeth instead of veneers.
