Considering veneers during GLP-1 treatment? Take these questions to a dental consultation.

1. Who will assess and treat your teeth?

ADA warns against unlicensed veneer services: risks include infection, nerve damage and choking during placement. A licensed dentist should diagnose dental needs and manage treatment. [2]

2. What needs treatment first?

Decay and gum disease need treatment before veneers. Grinding, clenching or a deep overbite can make veneers unsuitable. [1]

3. How much enamel will be removed?

ADA describes veneer treatment as irreversible because enamel is removed. Composite veneers may require less removal than porcelain. [1]

4. What happens if a veneer loosens?

Veneers can chip, crack, wear or loosen, requiring repair, rebonding or replacement. [1]

5. What does the written price include?

Cosmetic veneers may lack insurance coverage unless medically necessary. [1]
