Am I too old to consider veneers?+
A birthday cannot answer that for you. The condition of your enamel, gums and bite tells your dentist far more, so an assessment is what settles the matter.
My front teeth look shorter now. Can that be rebuilt?+
Worn or uneven edges are among the concerns veneers are often considered for. The design also has to work with your bite, because the edges meet opposing teeth when you close and chew.
What about my old crown next to the tooth I want treated?+
It needs to be considered in the plan, since a crown will not change shade to match new work beside it. Tell us about it, and ask how the neighbouring restorations would be matched or handled.
Can veneers cover gums that have pulled back?+
Gum levels are part of smile planning, but a veneer is a restoration for the tooth and does not treat the gums. Any gum concerns would be examined first, and other care could be discussed.
Is whitening worth trying first at my age?+
It can be, depending on your teeth and what has caused the colour change. If you want lighter natural teeth, whitening normally happens before a veneer shade is selected.
