Has anyone ever got bridges and veneers on their teeth?

I am 28 years old and I am afraid of getting the veneers because the teeth that I've got are not all that bad. I have very healthy teeth, but my two front teeth are spaced and I had two baby teeth that came out and left me with two big holes on my third spaces back on both sides. The holes from the baby teeth are for the bridges and I'm not worried about them, but do I risk the teeth that I've got now for the veneers?

Has anyone ever got bridges and veneers on their teeth?
Let's break this up into two sections:


(1) Veneers for front teeth. If you are very concerned about the spacing between your front teeth, then veneers are a good way to overcome this. If you have any doubts about having the treatment done, especially if they are good, unfilled teeth, then it seems a shame to treat teeth that may, essentially, not need treating.


(2) Bridges for the canine areas. The big question is do you have your adult canines still hiding in your jaw? If they are, you must speak to your dentist about wht you are to do with them. There is nothing more scary when a patient turn up with a new tooth arriving under a fixed bridge. If there are no canines, then you can move on to replacement. As for the bridge, if the teeth either side of the gap are unfiilled (virgin teeth), it seems a shame to cut into them to create bridge supports. If the gap is wide enough, then you may want to consider implant-supported replacements for the missing teeth. They may be more expensive, but they do not involve preparing adjacent teeth, are very long-lasting, and can be maintained much more easily than bridgework, which requires some fairly fancy flossing.


Hope you have some success, as your case is challenging. When it comes off, though, I think you'll look a million bucks!
Reply:I have 10 beautiful veneers across my upper anteriors and they are amazing! I love they way they look and feel and the colour was exactly what I wanted. They are a more conservative way to change your smile rather than doing full porcelain crowns. Your dentist will tell you if you are appropriate for veneers or not....
