They ruined my life. This photo I’ll gives me severe PTSD. DO NOT GET THEM.
Mackenzie H. why?
Do u have implant in ur mouth?
Arafat R. I have both crowns and veneers. They completely throw off my bite and I’m allergic to the adhesive. They gave me sleep apnea by forcing my jaw backwards when I sleep, partially cutting off my airway. Ever since I got them ive had HSV-1 outbreaks and exfoliative chelitis along with burning mouth syndrome 😞 grinding down healthy teeth and leaving nubs is FAR more traumatic to the body than losing a tooth naturally due to decay or what not.
Mackenzie H. are veneers different than crowns?
Mackenzie H. that’s an unfortunate result. I don’t think it’s common. Dentist should adjust the bite.
Marty A. I’ve had it adjusted several times by 3 different dental practices. It just gets worse every time:
I’d never do that (veneers) to my natural teeth and don’t understand why anyone would 😬
Jessica H. because dentist are been good at convincing you on shit you don’t need. It’s sad really.. they are like plastic surgeons sometimes.
Kara K. Right. Even the best work fails after a 2 or 3 decades.
Kara K. yes, I agree with you there. I’ve just never trusted docs or dentists 😂 so I always research whatever they recommend and veneers are a hard no for me ❤️ It’s sad when people are talked into things when they don’t have all the info 😞 (not blaming them, blaming the medical professionals that didn’t fully inform)
Wrap-around is similar to a crown in many respects.
If your teeth are healthy, I would say veneers or crowns. If you have other problems such as gum disease, then you should find a great and trusted professional to guide you.
Veneers are so bad , all those healthy teeth were forever ruined when they grind them to stumps . You can never go backwards after getting veneers
Anto G. that just looks like he had braces.
Following because I’ve always wanted veneers.
Chi Chi S. same for me here in Michigan
Sydney J. gorgeous!
Chi Chi S. oh yes and he’s bomb he is actually my dentist as well and i’m thinking about it 😩
Veneers look nice but they are not your teeth your teeth are stumps!!! They also have a shelf life so expect to keep coughing up the £ especially if your a grinder! Composite bonding is supposed to be a better option
Wrong comparison, each has its own indication
Veneers ruined my teeth. I love my all on 4.
Jordan (Katie P.) without her veneers. Her original teeth were so nice, no going back.
2 completely different indications.
I’m 30 years in with veneers. Still going strong. My dentist at the time never explained the damage. He made me believe it was a thin film over my teeth. I wouldn’t do it now. There was nothing wrong with my teeth I just didn’t like the colour. I think it depends on how bad your teeth are.
Debra Rose A. my dentist did the same thing!! I don’t trust any dentist now.
Mackenzie H. me neither. I’m in desperate need of work done but finding it really hard to find somebody. They are like vets. Think you need to marry one to trust them lol
Debra Rose A. So thankful my dentist is my very close friend from kindergarten! My children go to a pediatric dentist and I always send my friend their xrays before agreeing to treatment. Dentists can be so hard to trust!
I agree with you! It’s hard to find a good dentist! Since childhood the dentist I seen just what to make money instead of saving my teeth! So I had denture since elementary grades. I would like to share my new found dentist after he complete my treatment plans! Good luck everyone!
Eloisa A. bless you. I’m glad you eventually found somebody to trust x
How come no one talks about price I’m from Melbourne just waiting for my first appointment but l think there just going to be to expensive for me as I’m on a pension
Janice P. I feel the same way. I’m in USA so we get expensive dental and healthcare. I feel like medical should start covering some of dental things.
Jesse R. I’m on gold medical cover which is $435 a month and only covers a very little dental coverage
Janice P. holy cow that’s a lot!!
Jesse R. search G4 by Golpa they 4 different locations. $32000
They look nice by the way 🙂
An implant is an artificial root to replace a missing tooth. Veneers is filing healthy teeth down to change the esthetic appearance. Completely unrelated… and one could not replace the other.
2 completely different things.
Also according to your pic you posted, that is not veneer preparations, more like crown preparation.
I’m getting veneers on the top and implants on the bottom. veneers and crowns are working out more expensive than the implants. also they don’t last forever, if your teeth aren’t fabulous to start with its a waste of money.
I did veneers
I got veneers 2 years ago and now my teeth underneath are rotting due to severe acid reflux and food getting under them. Waste of $25k.
very nice
