Eating disorder damaging my teeth

[Raphaela]

Hello

I suffer from bulimia eating disorder and as a result my teeth have become worn down and become very sensitive. I am now seeing a specialist to try to control and perhaps stop my eating disorder but for now I would like my teeth fixed.

My teeth are so damaged that I try to hide them and not show them when I smile. My friends all have beautiful smile and I would like to have a nice smile once again.

I know that I need to stop my bulimia before I could have Lumineers but if I have a plan, it will motivate me a bit more. Could you tell me if Lumineers or veneers would work on teeth that have been damaged by bulimia?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

The short answer to your question would be yes we can restore your teeth by means of veneers or even alternative possibilities. But we have to see your teeth clinically and assess them and we can tell you in more details what exactly can be done for your teeth and what would be the best option.
