There is no age limit to who can have porcelain veneers.
However, we do not advise dental veneer treatment for patients under 18 years old.
It is not advisable to have veneers for patients under the age of 18 unless there is a structural issue that needs to be addressed or on certain specific rare circumstances.
Majority of our patients are between 30 and 65 years old, however, we have treated many patients who are between 65- 75 years old.
Treating older mouths
Tooth Preparation | Prices | Pros & Cons | Veneers or Whitening? | Procedure
The older the tooth being treated (thus the older the patient) then it is more likely that the pulp chamber where the nerve resides has shrunk; which significantly reduces complications of sensitivity or the risk of root filling.
So older patients may have reduced side effects.
When considering any dental treatment it may be necessary to check the health of teeth with radiographs.
So if you are pregnant then it may be best to have the treatment carried out after childbirth.
When carrying out veneers, tooth preparation may be required.
Increase in the crookedness of the teeth increases tooth preparation.
Tooth preparation, especially into the dentine, can affect the lifetime of the veneer.
Thus it is desirable to carry out veneers which require no preparation.
So for young patients, it is recommended that if veneers are the preferred treatment choice, this is carried out after pre-alignment of teeth with some type of orthodontics.
We only wish to carry out this type of treatment on teeth which have a long term outlook.
We determine this by creating a very though assessment of the teeth and mouth.
We assess the structural strength of the teeth, the biological strength of the gum and the bite to ensure we create a long-lasting solution.
Cosmetic & restorative treatments we provide:
We can fix crooked teeth, narrow smiles, worn teeth and overbites.

The perfect smile is truly excellent.
I hated my tetracycline stained teeth, with 18 year old veneers which needed replacing. I get nervous how I'm going to look going to the hairdressers! so this was a huge commitment and putting my trust in someone was difficult.
From the initial consultation with Sam Jethwa and his professional, friendly, dental assistant Sophie, I could not have been more impressed. Now, I am thrilled with the end natural, result. The care taken at every stage is phenomenal. Sam is extremely skilled. Sophie is by far the best assistant I have ever encountered. The receptionists were reassuring and helpful.I will recommend them to everyone. THANK YOU.
I can’t recommend the Perfect Smile enough. I’ve been with the perfect smile since 2015 and it was the best decision I’ve made.The staff are friendly and professional and during COVID with the restrictions that brings they have all been brilliant.
Thank you to everyone at the perfect smile.
