Why Do My Veneers Look So Big?

Why Your Veneers Look Too Bulky. If you have veneers that look too big for your mouth, the problem is usually what are called no-prep or minimal prep veneers. These veneers are designed to bond directly to your natural teeth, without the removal of any natural tooth enamel.

Why do some veneers look so big?

Your porcelain veneers can make your teeth look thick and bulky if you have average-sized or large teeth and your dentist doesn't prepare them first. Even ultrathin veneers—as thin as 0.3 mm—add thickness to your teeth and slightly extend their length.

Can you make veneers smaller?

Depending on what brand and type of porcelain veneer was used, it is possible for the cosmetic dentist to shorten them. Before you move forward with your smile makeover, be sure the dentist is clear on your goals.
