Is it possible to broaden my smile by using dental bonding on the back teeth as an alternative to veneers?

Hello everyone, I have relatively small teeth and am interested in achieving a wider smile, but I'm not considering veneers due to both aesthetic and financial considerations. Is it feasible to achieve a broader smile by solely using bonding on the back teeth? Additionally, will this procedure also influence the positioning of my lips, possibly creating a more structurally appealing pout-like appearance (similar to the effects of braces)? Thank you for your guidance!

Hello. composite restorations are structures that can become discolored and fracture over time compared to veneers. veneer restorations are therefore more long-term and will respond to your expectations.
