Getting front teeth veneers before a tooth in the back is extracted?

Question

I am due to have a decayed tooth extracted in a few weeks - the tooth is at the very back of my mouth. I want to have veneers on my 4 front teeth (which are healthy) - is it ok to have the veneer treatment first, before the tooth at the back gets extracted?

Although a clinical and radiographic study would be necessary to analyze the case, it would be possible to perform veneers in the anterior sector before extraction in the posterior sector, but keep in mind that if the posterior molar is not replaced by an implant or dental bridge, the occlusion may be affected, and this will affect the stability of the front veneers. At Empower Your Smile, Dr. Patricia Moezinia will be in charge of guiding you through this process and answering your questions.
