Can an adult with a cleft lip and palate get dental implants and/or veneers?

August 11, 2020
Asked By:mizplazola in Los Angeles, CA

Its hard to find a dentist who can help me fix my smile. Ive been to three different dentist including an oral surgeon but didn't help me since I have a complicated case. Ive had two jaw surgeries and both times relapsed however my underbite has improved with both surgeries.Because of my bilateral cleft palate and congenitally missing teeth I have a small upper jaw. My question is am I a candidate for veneers? or some type of dental implants? or will the jaw surgeries and cleft affect a dental treatment to improve my smile?
