Gaps, and edges that don't line up
Gaps in the four front teeth, plus short, uneven edges, can make a smile look unfinished. In the smile and the close-up, you can see spaces between the four front teeth. The biting edges are also short and uneven, so those teeth are not one length.
Veneers are not always the better choice than bonding or orthodontics. Bonding can close small spaces, and moving the teeth can be the right plan when the bite and the spacing call for it.
Why this smile used four veneers
For this patient, with gaps plus short, uneven edges across the four front teeth, Dr. Khan used four porcelain veneers so the spaces and the edge line could be designed together. Closing only the space between the two front teeth can leave the teeth on either side looking narrow or still short. The canines in these photos are the patient's own.
