Part I Review: I am a 35 year old female with two young children living in NYC. After years of being ashamed of my teeth and mastering the no-teeth smile, finally decided to do something about my disaster of a mouth. See "before" photos. Long story short, I have extremely short teeth naturally which were covered by decade-old bonding that was stained and chipped. I knew I needed veneers eventually but life kept getting in the way. Finally one day, I couldn't stand looking at my teeth any longer and googled "veneers" and wound up on this site. I started reading about veneers and saw that Dr. Mojgan Fajiram was located exactly two blocks away from my apartment so I decided to go for a consultation - a great decision. During the consultation, Dr. Fajiram immediately was able to identify what needed to be done in order to essentially make over my smile - removing the bonding and putting veneers on my 8 top teeth. I knew how bad my teeth were so I really appreciated Dr. Fajiram's honest assessment. Once I made up my mind to get the veneers I couldn't wait any longer and Dr. Fajiram was extremely accommodating in squeezing me for part I of the process in the next day.
I'll admit I was not looking forward to several hours of drilling etc. in order to prep my teeth for the veneers but Dr. Fajiram made the experience as comfortable as possible. Her assistant immediately offered me noise cancelling headphones, I put on the Hamilton soundtrack and essentially relaxed while Dr. Fajiram went to work on my old bonding. I can't say the process was pain-free but Dr. Fajiram and her assistant made me feel extremely comfortable (and of course provided novicaine). I now have the temporary teeth in while I wait for the real ones to come in next week. I will post new pics once they are in.

It's best to consult with your dentist to evaluate how much tooth structure you have left.

Sorry for the delay but here are some photos. I am THRILLED with the results!
I hope your makeover is a success!
How many teeth did you have done? Are you getting all veneers or crowns too?
Do you have any photos of your temps?
