Am I a candidate for porcelain veneers based on the attached X-Ray? (Photo)

Question

I would like to know if I can do veneers based on this recent ortho-panoramic. Best Regards

Steven Davidowitz, DDS · Answer

Based off of the panoramic x ray all that we can appreciate is that you appear to be in good oral health and no obvious signs of pathology nor disease.  One of the requirements for cosmetic porcelain veneers is that the health of the bone, gums and teeth are optimal as that is the foundation of the veneers.  Photos would be super helpful that show a full face smile, upclose smile, Teeth in a bite and pull lips away.  That would allow a better understanding of your candidacy for a veneer smile makeover.  I personally offer free smile virtual consults which requires these photos for evaluation and have that available prior to an in office consultation.  Hope that helps!

Hello there...I would recommend to get a professional consultation where you can personally express why you are thinking about getting veneers done. This is a very cosmetic treatment and it requires a profound evaluation of many aspects of the oral cavity. I wouldn't recommend treatment to anyone based on a single radiograph or a single picture, there is more to it, specially porcelain veneers. Just get in contact with a high end cosmetic dentist with a lot of expertise in the subject, book a consultation and he or she can answer and address all your concerns about your smile, sometimes with a little bit of orthodontics and some whitening we can achieve an excellent smile without even the need of major or invasive treatments.

Hello! Based on the X-ray provided, it appears you have low caries risk and healthy bone levels. However, including before pictures would be helpful. This is my personal opinion and not a diagnosis or medical advise.
