Most patients are eligible for veneers. However, they are not recommended if you:
Have cavities on the teeth that will get veneers. Without proper treatment, the decay will continue to worsen beneath the veneers.
Have active gum disease. If your gums are swollen or bleeding, they can interfere with getting accurate impressions of your teeth. Plus, if your gums recede, they could reveal the edge of the veneer, making it obvious to onlookers that you have had some work done on your smile.
Grind your teeth. Habitual teeth grinding can damage veneers or even cause them to fall off prematurely. Our team may be able to help you stop this habit so you can qualify for veneers in the future.
