Lumineers & Gum disease

[Kim]

I would like some advise regarding Lumineers and their suitability for my teeth. I suffered from gum disease a few years ago and gradually over the last few years, gaps have appeared between my teeth which i dont like.

My concerns are that if I have lumineers fitted now what happens if in future gum disease causes movement to my teeth. Although at the moment, I am having treatment, I am worried about future problems with the potential lumineers if gum disease reoccurred again a few years down the line.

Once your dentist or periodontist tell you that your gum condition is stable you can have veneers or Lumineers. With good oral hygiene and good maintenance you can keep the veneers or Lumineers for many years. You do have a higher risk of the lumineers margin showing.
