What are the clinical requirements for porcelain veneers at ACE DNTL?
Periodontal health (healthy, stable gums), adequate enamel volume for reliable bonding, occlusal stability (managed bruxism if present), and controlled caries (no active decay). Each is assessed during the consultation.
What happens if I have gum disease — can I still get veneers?
Not immediately. Periodontal disease must be treated and stabilised first — through professional cleaning, possible surgical intervention, and a monitoring period to confirm stability. Once gum health is established, cosmetic treatment can proceed.
Does ACE DNTL treat patients with bruxism?
Yes, provided the bruxism is managed with a custom night guard before treatment and the patient commits to ongoing guard use. Unmanaged bruxism will fracture porcelain veneers — this is a predictability, not a possibility.
What if my expectations don't match what ACE DNTL offers?
We explain our clinical position, show references, and discuss why we believe a more integrated result will serve you better long-term. Some patients adjust their expectations; those who don't are directed to clinicians whose approach better matches their vision.
