Can I just do Veneers on my bottom teeth?

Can I get lumineers/veneers on my bottom teeth and leave my top teeth alone? My top teeth are in good condition but my bottom are not. Will that look really silly?

Yes - you can opt for veneers on one arch only. The dentist and you need to be clear on what the final result will look like and make sure that they don't stand out. If your top teeth are in good shape and you're happy with the color and esthetics, then the dentist and laboratory can definitely match. Remember a really good cosmetic dentist can make veneers match exactly!

Hi Lisa, Of course you can get lower veneers and not do the top teeth. The key to make this look right is finding the doctor with the experience and training to make them look natural. I'd love to sit down with you to look at the specifics of your situation. I can then tell you exactly what to expect and the total costs involved. This is of course a complementary appointment. Give us a call at 512-347-0044 and we can schedule your appointment.

Hi Lisa, Yes you can get veneers just on your bottom teeth. As long as they do not need to be lengthened, we can change the color and even out their shape and fix and gaps or minor crowding as well. The porcelain just needs to be matched to your existing overall color, so they blend in. Thank you, Dora Nemeth, DDS

Hi Lisa, It is definitely possible that you could do veneers on your lower teeth only. We also do the opposite all the time: veneers on the upper teeth only. Whether or not it looks good really just depends on what is there to start with. I recommend a cosmetic consult to take some pictures and evaluate both the upper and lower teeth as they are now and discuss all the options you have available. I hope that helps, and please feel free to follow up with any additional questions. Best, Eric S. Broberg, DDS
