The Golden Proportion and veneers





Technical explanation:
The Golden Proportion (or Golden Mean or Phi) is a mathematical ratio of 1:1.6.  
The dimensions of the upper central incisors (front two teeth) should adhere to this ratio.  Any gross violation of this ratio will result in the teeth looking unnatural.  Beautiful teeth have symmetry, continuity, and respect the Golden Proportion, and dentistry (porcelain crowns or veneers) must do the same.
Easier explanation:
Dental work can look fake if the teeth are too long or too wide.
Bottom Line:
Good dentistry isn't always noticed.  Bad dentistry is.
