I am planning to get veneers in 2 weeks and I want to make sure it is the best way to fix my problem .My teeth are as close together as they can be but I still have a triangle shaped gap between my front 2 teeth (and between a lot of my other teeth )and my dentist said that veneers would be a good way to close them. Is that the best way to fix the problem? Are there other ways? Is it going to ruin my teeth? And will they look fake? And do you agree that Its a good idea to get it fixed?If so why?
