At what age can I have porcelain veneers?

Q. how old do you have to be for porcelain veneers?

A. You need to have a “mature” Gum Line that is stable,
16yrs is lower limit - 21 yrs upper limit

If the gum margin is still settling you can do a medium term cosmetic build up with layers of tooth coloured filling applied directly to the tooth

Hope this helps
