Can I go straight to veneers if I haven’t seen a dentist in years?+
An examination needs to come first. Decay or gum inflammation would have to be managed before veneers are considered, so a visit starts with understanding your current oral health.
Can you place veneers over a tooth with gum problems?+
Gum inflammation is among the situations that may need another plan or an earlier stage of care. Your dentist looks at how stable your gums are before going ahead with cosmetic treatment.
I have several old fillings. Does that matter?+
It can do. Older fillings may affect how much healthy enamel is available, and they may need attention on their own account. Your dentist can examine them as part of your assessment.
Will a cleaning make veneers unnecessary?+
A cleaning removes buildup and may brighten how your teeth look, though it does not change their shape or structure. Seeing the result may help you decide what you still want changed.
How long before I can start the cosmetic part?+
That depends on what your examination finds and how your teeth and gums respond to any treatment. Once you have been assessed, ask for a realistic idea of the steps ahead.
