Would teeth look natural if I got veneers and whitening?
Q. Hello I am 56 years old and am about to start orthognathic treatment which will probably take 3 years. In addition to the orthodontic problems that require this treatment, I would also like to improve the look of my teeth, possibly through veneers and teeth whitening. Generally my teeth are looking a bit yellow but my two front upper teeth are particularly bad, in that the lower half of each tooth is much yellower that the upper half and the teeth are slightly ridged. Therefore my question is: If I had veneers on my two front upper teeth would the rest of my teeth be able to be whitened and would it all look natural? My orthodentist has said that any cosmetic work should really be done after the orthnographic procedure is complete. I hope,
A. Thanks for your enquiry, I would agree that it is benficial to wait until your Orthodontic treatment is complete before embarking on the cosmetic treatments. I would also recommend that once you get to this point, you should have the teeth whitening procedure carried out prior to the preperation for your veneers. This would allow the dentist to choose a shade for your veneers which would match the shade of your whitened teeth, hence acheiving the best possible aesthetic results. Kindest Regards.
