Can anyone get porcelain veneers?
Yes and no. Veneers can be seated on almost anyone. They are a fairly minorly invasive in terms of damage to the natural tooth and can be put on almosts any tooth. But whether or not they are the right treatment for your sister's needs is a whole other question.





Long answer, it depends on what her goals are. If is to address crooked teeth that will depend on the position and current health of the teeth.





Minor imperfections of alignment may be corrected with veneers but there are a myriad of limitations on doing so. A dentist will have to determine whether or not her goals can be achieved.





Veneers are somewhat like acrylic fingernails. A small portion of the tooth surface is removed and roughed up, then the veneer is made to fit over the teeth. Like fingernails, the underlying tooth structure dictates what shape and position the veneer will take.





More important is her overall oral health. If the teeth have decay, that will have to be repaired before the veneers are seated. Again, like acrylic nails, veneers are custom made each time they are placed. If one comes off because the natural tooth broke down from decay, the same veneer cannot be reused, a new one ($$) will have to be made.





Equally important is the general health of the gum tissues and bone structure beneath the gums. A patient with periodontal issues isn't a good candidate for veneer treatment because the gum disease will cause the gums to recede and the veneer will become obvious (veneers are usually seated just under the gum line so the margin between the natural tooth and the porcelain is not visible).





So to invest the money in veneers without having good oral health is just wasting cash. Further, veneers for cosmetic reasons are generally not covered by any insurance plans.
Reply:You can get them, however it does depend on what kind of dental coverage she has. She might have to pay a hefty sum of money as most dental insurances don't cover too much of that sort of stuff.
Reply:yes ,if the teeth are in bad shape they need root canal treatment and then some pivots.
