It depends. Cosmetic dental treatments work best when your teeth and gums are healthy. If you have active gum disease, we’ll likely need to treat it first before proceeding with any smile enhancements.
🦷 Why Gum Health Comes First
- Gum disease can cause swelling, bleeding, and bone loss
- Cosmetic treatments like veneers or bonding require a stable, healthy foundation
- Treating gum disease first helps ensure long-lasting, beautiful results
✅ What Happens First
- We’ll perform a full exam and cleaning
- If needed, we’ll treat your gum disease with scaling, root planing, or other therapies
- Once your gums are healthy, we can safely plan cosmetic treatments
🧠 Good News
- Many patients successfully restore their gum health and go on to enjoy cosmetic improvements
- Healthy gums also enhance the look of your final smile makeover
