Am I a Candidate?

While porcelain veneers are one of the most effective cosmetic dentistry treatments, they are not for everyone, especially as they are irreversible and involve the removal of part of the tooth structure. You should make sure you find an experienced cosmetic dentist to help determine whether or not you are a suitable candidate for veneers. The ideal candidate should have good dental health and realistic expectations of what the treatment can achieve. Certain dental health issues such as extensive tooth decay, gingivitis or gum disease, severe misalignment, major cracks in the teeth and chronic teeth grinding may make you unsuitable for veneers. It can take some time to adjust to your new teeth so make sure you have a thorough consultation with a dentist to make sure you fully understand the treatment process before going ahead.
