My boyfriends front teeth are badly chipped are veneers an option

Q. Hi Julian, I was wondering if you could give me some advice, my boyfriend is 25 and hasn’t been to a dentist for about 6 years and his 2 front teeth are badly chipped and the others aren’t good at all. I think he should contemplate veneers and i was wondering if maybe he is too young to get them and what the average price would be? thank you very much i really appreciate your time. P

A. Dear P,

25 years of age is fine to have veneers. If he has chipped teeth then veneers is probably the treatment of choice.The only caveat to that would be to find out why they are chipped in the first place. there sometimes is a bite issue that needs to be addressed prior to treatment.

If he plays contact sports make sure he wears a mouth guard. If he is a boxer wait until he finishes competing!

As far as prices go within my surgery I charge in the region of a £1000 per tooth. There are dentists who do it for considerably less but in aesthetic dentistry you really do get what you pay for.
