My teeth are not in such a good shape.

 

What could I expect composite veneers to do about changing the shape of my teeth?

 

The two teeth at the front, they marked as 11 and 12 they have old large fillings that need to be replaced. they would be large fillings so I asked if composite veneers could do the work of the filling plus whiten and shape the teeth.

 

The teeth 11 and 12 are not what I see on a tooth chart, you can see on the photo which teeth they are, front incisor and tooth to the left of it

The existing filling has split. I was thinking of getting 4 x composite veneers on my front teeth.

Besides the fact that I can not afford porcelaine right now, I was thinking that the composite veneers are more reversible or more easy to change to porcelain in a few years with a top dentist.

 

Am I better off leaving the veneers, going for a large filling on the two front teeth then getting orthodontics when I can afford it?

 

The composite veneers are $200 a piece all up! pretty good, I would be willing to use them even if it means ripping them off in a year or two.

That does not look too bad. If I were you I would go with porcelain right away rather than composite. Composites don't require terrible preparations but they do leave a mark. Save some money and do full porcelain restorations right away. The color is more biologically similar to ordinary human teeth and I they can remain for decades without fracturing easily.

Cheers just I have seen the way they cut your teeth down for porcelain and think it is best to really research/find a dentist when I have the cash that a top dentist would charge. This could be a good quick fix for now the composites.

At least go see two or more different practitioners and ask them for price estimates and recommendations before opting for any treatment. There are dentists who specialize into cosmetic dentistry, they usually have their certifications visible or you can ask for them, seeing one of those is worth it.
