How safe are veneers with chronic periodontitis?

August 5, 2014
Asked By:samsa in Turkey, TR

I am diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and bone loss. My dentist said the disease is going from stage 2 to 3 out of 5. He also said its gonna scale down stage 0 after the treatment and i am not gonna lose my teeths. I was considering some kind of thin veneers on my two front teeths without drilling my teeths. how safe they are in this condition?
