The number of teeth you show when smiling is only part of the decision. Ask the dentist to justify every proposed veneer.
What to discuss at your appointment
Use ordinary speaking and smiling photographs to discuss where changes would be noticeable. Compare plans involving different numbers of teeth, with the total cost and expected benefit of each. Ask how color and shape transitions will look. Avoid choosing a package simply because it has a familiar tooth count.
Three questions to take with you
- Why this number?
- Could fewer teeth meet my goal?
- How will untreated teeth blend?
Plan your next step
Write down the answers, the proposed appointments, and any information the office needs from you. If the explanation is unclear, ask for a written summary before deciding. Your own goals and the findings of an examination should guide the final choice.
