Cosmetic Procedures Recommended for Ages 18 and Over

There is no age limit to who can have porcelain veneers.

However, we do not recommend dental veneer treatment for patients under 18.

It is not advisable to have veneers for patients under 18 unless a structural issue needs to be addressed or in certain specific rare circumstances.

The majority of our patients are between 30 and 65 years old. However, we have treated many patients who are between 65- 75 years old.

Treating Older Mouths

Tooth Preparation | Prices | Pros & Cons | Veneers or Whitening? | Procedure

The older the tooth is being treated (thus, the older the patient), the more likely the pulp chamber where the nerve resides has shrunk, which significantly reduces sensitivity complications or the risk of root filling.

So older patients may have reduced side effects.

When considering any dental treatment, it may be necessary to check the health of teeth with radiographs.

So if you are pregnant, then it may be best to have the treatment carried out after childbirth.

When carrying out veneers, tooth preparation may be required. An increase in the crookedness of the teeth increases tooth preparation. Tooth preparation, especially in the dentine, can affect the lifetime of the veneer.

Thus it is desirable to carry out veneers which require no preparation.

So for young patients, it is recommended that if veneers are the preferred treatment choice, this is carried out after pre-alignment of teeth with some type of orthodontics.

We only wish to carry out this treatment on teeth with a long-term outlook. We determine this by creating a thorough assessment of the teeth and mouth.

We assess the structural strength of the teeth, the biological strength of the gum and the bite to ensure we create a long-lasting solution.

Immediate Veneers

Composite veneers cost less than other veneers and require little or no tooth preparation at all. Have your veneers fitted in as little as one appointment.
