I Would Like To Have My Veneers Removed Before I Have The Six Month Smiles Treatment. Will This Be Possible?
Q.
Hi there Mark,
I have had two veneers (on the teeth either side of my front teeth) for almost 15 years. They are not porcelain but are very old, stained and I have not been happy with them for a very long time. I am seriously thinking of the six month smile programme. I have my first consultation with my dentist next week. I am suddenly concerned though, would the dentist be happy to take these veneers off? My teeth were not changed in any way underneath to fit the veneers. I would just love to have them removed so that my own teeth could fitted with the brace. Is this possible?

Hello. Yes it should be, as long as the teeth underneath are in good condition and haven’t been altered. There may be no way to confirm that until they are removed so it might be the case that some more veneers are needed even if you have the orthodontics. Make sure you have a list of things to discuss during your consultation, so you don’t have to worry at a later stage, your dentist should be more than happy to answer these questions. Regards
