Who is (or is not) a good candidate for veneers?

Short answerVeneers are suitable for many, but not all, dental situations.

  • Pre-existing conditions like untreated cavities or gum disease must be addressed first for a healthy foundation.
  • Severe teeth grinding, clenching, or major alignment issues like deep bites or crowding may require other treatments first or make veneers less advisable as the forces can damage the ceramic.
  • A thorough examination by your dentist is essential to determine if you are a good candidate and what preparatory steps are needed.

General information only. Whether and how treatment suits you is decided after a dental exam.
