YES, AS LONG AS YOU ARE CONTROLLED
Yes
There should be no contraindications of veneers on diabetic patients.
Yes.
Of course. There is no difference . However, if they do not control the sugar level AND do not get regular cleaning and/or have poor oral hygiene, they would be more prone to gingivitis.
Sure!! diabetics can get veneers- just be sure you have your gum disease under great control or have no gum disease. Be sure you go to a quality dentist who will place thin properly shaped veneers and clean up all the residual cement around the veneers. any remaining cement or bulky veneers will irritate your gums and cause future problems. Be wise in choosing your dentist.
Type 2 Diabetes can affect healing and immune response so it can be a contraindication to certain dental treatments like implants. In contrast, diabetes will have no negative impact on dental veneers because veneers do not require any healing of a surgical site. Veneers may involve some slight adjustment of tooth enamel to enable veneer bonding and this is not affected in any way by type 2 diabetes.
So, in short, individuals living with Type 2 Diabetes can receive dental veneer treatment successfully!
