How much are dental veneers …I have gum disease?

Q. Dear Dr Riten Patel,
how much wouldit cost for veneers or get my teeth looking better than what they do, i think i have gum disease too as my teeth are very loose
J.S.

A. Dear J.S
Before any cosmetic dentistry can be done it is very important to assess the health of your existing teeth. If as you say they are loose this would need to be investigated and treated first. I would not recommend investing in cosmetic dentistry if your own teeth are not healthy enough to support new restorations ans their lifespan would be severely reduced.

It can be a challenge. Often it is an indication that you will need an implant.
