i have two canine baby teeth on my top and they never fell out. is it possible to put lumineers on my two baby canine teeth to match my other adult teeth?


Answer:
Yes, you can place a veneer on any tooth, but I'd be careful about asking for a brand-name product at the dentist's office - they have the ability to be very much more expensive. A “Lumineer” is just a “veneer” with a lot of money added to the price due to the promise of tiny or no alteration of the tooth structure - which is all well and good until the veneer needs to be replaced - the odds of not touching the underlying tooth during veneer replacement are trim to none in my opinion.

You'll also need to be evaluated very carefully - often these teeth are ankylosed, or fused to the bone with little or no root structure - not a good candidate for long-lasting restorations!


Answer:
yes, they have the ability to do lumineers on any tooth whatsoever. Doesn't matter the size. It isn't cheap though. I’ve all of my front teeth done with lumineers, and even though it was very expensive I love them and think of them as an investment.

Answer:
You should probably just get them removed and put in implants.
