I was just wondering.. can veneers be used for any gaps.. no matter how small or large they are? Or are there some instances where veneers cant be used? I have a gap in my teeth and was hoping to use veneers to close it but it is abit of a sticky situation because when I bite a tooth from the bottom is obstructing where I think the veneer is meant to go. Hope this makes sense!
Veneers (sorry if i have mis spelt it)?
This is a very tricky situation because the bottom teeth are obstructing the place of the intended veneer. Veneer is not a very strong material, it is either made of porcelain or composite. If the force generate by the lower teeth is great, it may fracture the veneer. Visit your dentist and see what he can do, he may need to do crowns instead. Porcelain crown will work well in your case, but more tooth structure will be ground away. It will be a waste depending on your point of view. Either way , you have to think very carefully and whether the treatment will be successful depends heavily on the expertise of your dentist. See a prosthodonist instead, they have better knowledge on this situation than a general practitioner, but they cost more.
Reply:i dont really understand ur question, but they can be used to close gaps, if ur gap is really big they may only be able to make it smaller (other wise ull look like u have horse teeth. As far as your other tooth overlapping, they can file it down.
