Ive dental phobia and does all the dental work have to completed before having veneers

Q. Hi there, I have a severe dental phobia but obviously need a dentist!! I’m interested in getting veneers also but I’m assuming that you would have to do any corrective dental work first? Is this right? Due to my phobia are you able to offer any sort of sedation at all? And does all dental work (I have a tooth at the back that has cracked) have to be completed before you can have veneers?

A. At my practice about 40% of my clients come because they are scared of the dentist or had bad experiences in the past.  We do offer sedation which allows you to have treatment in a much more manageable way.  I would carry out a full assessment first and the best way to have treatment is get your gums healthy and remove decay then create a beautiful cosmetic smile.
