I'm getting my top 6 teeth veneered, but I would like my bottom ones done too. My dentist said it's not recommended that I get my bottom teeth veneered cause of something with the bite? Is it possible to get them on your bottom teeth?
Can I get porcelain veneers on my bottom teeth?
It is certainly possible to have lower teeth veneered. Veneers are very strong and I can't imagine what type of bite would prohibit veneers from being placed. Ask your dentist to be specific as to why he/she wouldn't recommend them on your lower teeth and consider getting a second opinion BEFORE you have the top veneers placed. (You might look worse by having just the top teeth veneered and leaving the lowers as is.)
I hope this helps.
Reply:I would need more information to answer this more detailed but knowing what I know about veneers I can give you my two cents. Veneers are generally made of porcelain which is actually harder than enamel (the substance that covers your teeth). If he mentioned something about your lower teeth and a "bite" chances are he's concerned about the backside of your front teeth being scraped away by hard porcelain veneers during a protrusive movement (hehe sorry, dental lingo).
