Porcelain Veneers for Patient with Periodontal Disease?

Simply HAVING periodontal disease does not mean you cannot have veneers, but the disease should be treated and under control before placing them. Once the tissues are treated, the edges of the veneers can be placed in such a way as to become invisible, and any spaces that may appear can be compensated for.

The gum disease can be treated in one to two appointments fairly easily,then you could do the veneers as soon as your pockets shrink. The dentist will tell you when this occurs. Dont let a dentist do the veneers first then treat the disease after.

The periodontal disease must be treated first. Once completed you can consider the restorative phase of treatment. Since you have a periodontist, discuss this all with that professional and get his or her opinion.
