Can veneers change the shape of healthy teeth?+
They can alter visible shape and proportion. Since many require some enamel removal, ask whether the change you want justifies that step for a sound tooth.
My canines look pointed. Can that be softened?+
Possibly, and perhaps without a veneer. Reshaping or bonding may be raised for small changes, depending on the tooth and how it functions in your bite.
Could my teeth be made to look longer?+
Adding length is sometimes possible, but your lips, gum levels and bite all set limits. A preview helps you judge whether it would look like you.
Can I pick any shape I want?+
Your preferences guide the plan, but your face and bite have a say as well. Contacts must allow a restoration to function safely, whatever outline you admire.
What if my shape concern is really about gum level?+
How much tooth shows depends on your gums too. Ask whether gum levels play a part, since that could change the kind of treatment worth discussing.
