I do have a bit of discoloration as I&#8217;ve gotten older. I really want my teeth to be bigger and longer. My dentist recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/lumineers-gilbert.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lumineers<\/a> and I have already had the initial impressions taken. When they came back from the lab, apparently they said that they could have them whitened, just couldn&#8217;t do anything to make them bigger or longer. This was not the original impression I had from their brochure or from my dentist. The before and after pictures they show make it look like they can be bigger. I&#8217;ve already invested in two appointments. Do you have any recommendations?<\/p>\n<p>-Connie in Ohio<\/p>\n<p>Dear Connie,<\/p>\n<p>Based on what you have described, you should proceed with caution. Unfortunately it doesn&#8217;t sound as if your dentist knows exactly what is going on or what can be done with Lumineers.<\/p>\n<p>The laboratory shouldn&#8217;t be telling the dentist that they can&#8217;t be made any different shape or size. It should be the other way around where the dentist orders the look and type you request.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it sounds like your dentist may not be that experienced with Lumineers or smile makeovers. It may be time to seek a second opinion from a cosmetic dentist. There are many things that can be done with Lumineers and <a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/porcelain-veneers-gilbert.html\" target=\"_blank\">porcelain veneers<\/a> to manipulate the shape, size, translucency, and color. Sounds like it&#8217;s time to move on and seek an expert opinion.
