Can porcelain veneers be placed over my crowns. I do not want lumineers
Q. Dr. Suri, I am interested in porcelain veneers for my upper and lower front teeth. Two of these teeth are crowns. Can porcelain veneers be placed over my crowns. I do not want lumineers. Thank you,
A. Thank you for your question
If you are considering having veneers placed on your upper and lower teeth I would strongly advise that you have the crowns replaced as well. It will ensure that your new restoratipns match and they will be made in the correct proportion. You will compromise the end result if you keep the 2 crowns especially if they are at the front of the mouth.
Also when cosmetic treatment is carried the bite is also taken into account and if this needs to be altered in any way to improve the longevity of the new restorations it may be necessary to replace the crowns. It is very to let you know for sure without seeing you first.
My advice would be to have a consultation with a cosmetic / restorative dentist and find out what your options are
I definately agree with you about not having lumineers,
kind regards
