I have veneers.

2 years ago I went for a consultation for veneers. The dentist told me that if I let him do 20 teeth we would get the best result and they would look fantastic. I believed him and made the worst mistake of my life. Some veneers can look OK, and they resemble real teeth. But real teeth and real enamel look better. The white shiny porcelain looks fake, and even though they don't hurt anymore. They still don't feel right. I thought I was doing something that I thought would make me happier and more confident, but in fact these fake looking veneers had the opposite affect on my life. I would be very cautious about any veneer procedure. Go to many consultations. Trust your instincts. Have a mock up done before hand. Make sure before any prep is done the color is chosen. Be careful about going too white. It's more of a problem than you would think. If I were you I would look for a dentist who does bonding with no removal of any tooth structure. Try a very conservative bonding procedure. Make sure the dentist doesn't plan to remove any tooth structure whatsoever. Then if you don't like the way your new fake teeth look. You can have him grind it off and you'll only be out some cash instead of having ruined your teeth. Veneers are very invasive and are best used on teeth that already have problems.
