Are veneers possible with severe root resorption? (Photo)

March 1, 2017
Asked By:tmacdo06 in Toronto, ON

Prolonged orthodontic treatment caused severe root resorption. My teeth look good from afar, but small asymmetries, namely an occlusal cant and uneven gum line, make my smile look slightly shifted, and I am very self conscious about it. My periodontist said crown lengthening and gum contouring weren't possible, but implants WERE in the future. I forgot to ask about veneers, so my question is: Are veneers possible with severe root resorption (i.e. 50% of my roots gone)? If not, are other options?
