Which type of veneers are best for lower teeth?

Q.
Which type of veneers are most appropriate for lower teeth? I have heard that the new, thinner (non-prep?) veneers cannot be used for lower teeth due to stresses exerted on them during biting. Is this correct?
A.
Hi
It depends on what you are trying to achieve (eg make the teeth look bigger) and how your bite it, but the less preparation the better (for all teeth!) but especially for these small teeth. If they are supported by enamel and your bite is favourable then there shouldn’t be any problems with stresses.
Good luck
