Veneer Shapes for the Six Most Common Face Shapes

The LVI Smile Library is composed of 12 styles that have differing shapes on the six teeth in the front of your mouth, from the middle of your mouth to your canines. These teeth can be square or rounded and angled in different ways to change the appearance of the smile so that it suits the shape of your face better.

• Round.  As with a circle, the middle of this face - the cheekbones - are the widest part. To add contrast to this shape, more pointed veneers and stronger lines might be preferred.
• Square or Rectangle.  These faces have foreheads, cheekbones and jawlines of approximately the same width. To balance the sharper angles of this shape, rounded veneers are a good choice.
• Oval.  The forehead is the widest part of an oval face. Longer than they are wide, ovals may benefit from choosing square or blunt veneers to add some width to the face.
• Heart or Diamond. These faces are defined by narrow foreheads and chins. To balance this sharpness and maintain proportions, short rounded veneers would work well.
