Dentist won't give me veneers for short lateral incisors?

[micelvmur]

I am not talking about ''peg laterals'', just teeth that are noticeably shorter than my upper front teeth.

I would like a symmetrical smile and I feel uncomfortable showing my teeth when smiling.

The dentist only filled up the area between my front teeth and laterals with composite (bonding) to make it look more symmetrical, but it didn't make them longer of course.

My dentist says the chance of me biting them off is too big because when I put my upper teeth on my lower teeth, the laterals directly hit my lower teeth. So this means that there is likely a small jaw issue like an overbite or an underbite, right?

Or is this normal? Because most people have laterals generally maybe only a little shorter than their front teeth, mine are like half the size of my front teeth.

Are crowns maybe a better option?

honestly you should trust your dentist on this one, or seek a surgeon to analyze it better
