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 staff are very helpful and the practice is well run.
Every part of the process is explained in a educational and informative way.
I would highly recommend this practice for any dental treatment.

Dr Sam and his wonderful team are brilliant. They have created the most incredible smile for me and completely changed my life. It sounds extreme, but I can't describe how unhappy I felt with my smile. I hid my mouth when I talked or laughed, I avoided social situations and family photos. Being able to smile with out worrying what people think is the most amazing feeling. I have already seen such a change in the way I work and how I interact with clients. My self confidence has grown and I genuinely feel like a new person. If you feel anything lile how I felt go and book a consultation. Don't think about it any longer. You will not regret it. Dr Sam is gentle, knowledgeable and all round good human. I can't thank him and his team or nurses enough.

Composite veneers cost less than other veneers and require little or no tooth preparation at all. Have your veneers fitted in as little as one appointment.
