Have my teeth and jawbone stopped growing?

This is especially relevant for young patients. Kids’ teeth are always shifting, which will inevitably cause their veneers to shift out of place too. Not only will this disrupt the seamless appearance that the veneers are meant to give up, but they may even start to pull away from your teeth altogether.

Have I tried braces or Invisalign?

Veneers are certainly a good option, but if you require more extensive dental care, then you may want to consider orthodontic treatment instead. Then, once your teeth are straightened, you can address anything that needs to be touched up with veneers.

Will I want to go back to my natural teeth later?

Although the veneers themselves do not last forever, the process that’s required to install them onto your smile does result in permanent changes. Some of the enamel that resides on the surface of your teeth needs to be etched off and won’t grow back. So, always take your time thinking things through before jumping in headfirst. But as is the case with most dental treatments, cosmetic, restorative, or otherwise, there is no “ideal age”. All that matters is that your teeth, gums, tissues, and bones are healthy and strong enough to withstand the treatment.
