Tooth veneers?

I'm thinking of getting tooth veneers. I have quite crooked teeth. It's not that noticable really but they're uneven. I am missing the tooth to the left of the front teeth on one side but all the other teeth have shifted over so there's no gap. What I want to know is how much are veneers, would they be able to make it look like I had all the teeth if they filed them all down and added veneers on top and put an extra tooth in? Has anyone had veneers before? I've heard they're cheaper abroad. I live in England.

Tooth veneers?
You can't just make a tooth appear with veneers. In order to get another tooth you would need to see an orthodontist to put space in upper arch, which they may think is crazy since they try to close spaces, then you can put on implant there with a crown that will match the shade of you other teeth. I am not sure what type of bracket the first girl was talking about but you do not want a flipper or partial that you can take out like a retainer. they look very cheap and they will break, the implant would be the best option and they will last.
Reply:I have a veneer on my front tooth. The FRONT! It sucks, but luckily the way they did, I didn't have to file down the two on each side of it.


This is a major decision as a veneer becomes a liability.


Why you may say?


Well because if they fall out or get cracked, you have to fork up the money to get them fixed or replaced. It was against my decision to get a veneer, I knew better than to get it, but my parents told me that it would be for the best...To this day I regret it.


Braces are the better way of going in my opinion, have the dentist go in and space the tooth thats missing, and have a bracket put in. They're cheaper, reliable, and look JUST like a real tooth. The benefit? You're still missing the tooth now, but at least you can pop in the bracket and your good to go.





I wish you the best in your decision. Good luck.
