If you’re thinking of improving your smile with dental veneers, here’s what you need to know.

Additionally, people with low bone volume are not good candidates for dental implants because there isn’t enough bone to secure the dental implants in place. However, there are treatments that can rejuvenate the gums and jawbone which increase your candidacy for dental implants.
