I have missing lateral incisors. I had read that doing orthodontics and dental implants is the best option to replace the missing teeth, but my dentist says he can make canines look like lateral incisors with Lumineers. Will that look normal? I know it’s cheaper, but I don’t want to end up looking weird.

Thanks-Cathey R.

Dear Cathey,

I would be very hesitant to agree with a Lumineers course of treatment. What your dentist is suggesting is extremely difficult to accomplish and it look beautiful. While it is possible if you went to the top cosmetic dentist in the country they could probably do it, I’m guessing they would suggest you use dental implants. They are the closest thing you can get to a natural tooth. Although they are an advanced dental procedure, it is much easier to get gorgeous results.
