Question:
Can 14 year olds get porcelain veneers?
Answer:
Yes, 14 year olds can get porcelain veneers but it would be best to make sure that there is very little to no grinding on the natural teeth. Additionally, the bite of the younger patients should be corrected as the porcelain veneers are being made. Porcelain veneers can be a huge improvement for younger patients as their self esteem is so important.
Younger people with crooked, yellow teeth have more negative behavior that younger people with nice looking teeth. There are no health disadvantages if the porcelain veneers and done by a highly experienced and skilled dentist. The most important part of treating younger patients is the type of porcelain being used. There are many different types of porcelain that are made cheaply and will not last nearly as long and hold their color nearly as long as high quality porcelain, a skilled ceramist and an experienced, artistically and technically skilled dentist
