I want veneers, but am treated monthly with a bisphosphonate. Am I risking osteonecrosis of the jaw? (photos)

elly.r
My treatment each month, which will continue for my lifetime, consists of hormonal therapy as well as a bisphosphonate (Xgeva). Although data is somewhat shaky, we're warned that "teeth manipulation," - extractions and other procedures are often mentioned - can result in osteonecrosis of the jaw (a Very unpleasant and incurable condition.) I very much want veneers, since my teeth were darkened after chemo/early treatments. Any info would be much appreciated!
