[quote=Anonymous]I have veneers due to a cracked front tooth in my late teens.  I'm now in my 40s and on my second set.

Use a dentist that specializes in cosmetic dentistry.  The difference between decent veneers and great veneers is amazing.  Everyone saying "veneers always look fake"... it's because they don't know the good ones are veneers!  And the horsey veneer look is usually because people are using them to fill gaps, so the veneers are unnaturally large for the mouth - that's less of an issue when you're using them to cover damage and keeping the same profile as the original tooth.

They will have to drill your teeth down to make room for the veneers, so it is a permanent choice - you'll never be able to remove them and go back to your natural teeth.

You do have to be somewhat careful with them. I broke my first set after 8 or 10 years biting into something hard.  That looks REALLY bad and immediately became an emergency situation to get it fixed, because when the veneer breaks off, you're left with this tiny stub of a tooth.  I've had my current set for almost 20 years, and am a lot more careful with them now.

In your case, I would try bonding first - you can always go from that to veneers if you're not happy with the result.  But once you make the commitment to veneers, there's no going back.  So you might as well try the less drastic option first.[/quote]
