Can veneers make my teeth look longer?+
They may, by placing the edge of the restoration in a new position. How much length is reasonable depends on your bite, your lip line and the rest of the smile.
Why are my teeth so small in the first place?+
Some teeth are simply shaped that way, while others have lost height to wear or chips. An examination can help tell these apart, and that answer affects the options you hear about.
Could my gums be making my teeth look short?+
Gum contours frame what you see of each tooth, so they are part of the assessment. Your dentist can say whether the gums are a factor, and our gum contouring page explains that treatment.
Do all my front teeth need to be done?+
Not automatically. A tooth count comes from your visible smile, symmetry and goals, and adding more teeth does not by itself mean a stronger result.
Will longer veneers be weaker at the edge?+
A thin restoration under heavy contact can be damaged, so the design has to respect how your teeth come together. Ask how your own bite affects the planned length.
