I have alot of enamel erosion on my teeth...most of it is on the back sides of my teeth, especially in front. Are veneers a viable option for someone with this kind of erosion? Do the veneers go over the back, or are caps a better solution?

I appreciate the input. The erosion is actually from a gastrointestinal issue, and not vomiting. Thanks though!

veneering can be done after checking the extent of erosion. if very less amount of enamel is left of your teeth, better go for porcelain capping

ACID EROSION DUE TO VOMITING CAUSES A WEAR ON THE LINGUAL (BACK SIDE OF TEETH).
BASED ON YOUR PARTICULAR CASE THESE MAY BE A CHOICE, BUT THE BEST ONE IS STOPPING THE VOMITING.

As per the situation explained, caps are the right solution.
