I am aware that with Veneers there needs to be some filing done to the teeth. I am also ware that if done properly veneers should last a very long time, like 15-20 years at least. A dentist once told my me that if i file my tooth i will loose my teeth. I been thinking about getting veneers, my teeth are not that bad. There are not chipped, stained, discolored, gaped or crooked. I had braces before,after my wisdom teeth came and they crooked. I don't want to loose my real teeth when Im 55.
