Sharing my experience with getting dental veneers + the cons you should be aware of

[@shemarlosscott2656]

Tina Yong You Have The Best Makeover

[@S_Kirahhh]

Btw I just wanted to mention that when they completely shave down your teeth, they're called crowns. And there's a huge difference between crowns and veneers. (if anyone didn't know, so you should do huge research if you're interested in getting this done)

[@sherriv4860]

Thank you for the information 💕 It was helpful

[@lusvus5445]

Can you recommend this clinic. Are they do implants?

[@icebear4959]

@tina_yong If you don't mind, what shade did you get? Thank you!

[@Therealmykag]

I really appreciate Tina’s transparency about old procedures she’s had and has had to redo. Like I knew what a blepharoplasty was, but I didn’t think you would need to maintain it 😳

[@kmariamv]

I think it depends on how it was done and how much space was added to the eyelid, but yes it’s common for people to get this procedure done twice

[@l8Frankalein]

​@@kmariamvI think it's also natural to have to get it redone after some years. It's normal for the eyes and skin there to start sagging again after a a while because your skin changes with age. That's why people get it redone when they're older. I think that's the thing with almost all procedures/ plastic surgery if you want to maintain a certain look.

[@bellarina]

Even with rhinoplasty, it is not like breast implants that need replacing every 15 years, but it is quite common needing a revision down the line as everything settles, even with a good first result. No procedure is without risk and a completely permanent solution tbh, it's scary how it's not talked about though. We love a transparent queen.

[@HH-kg4fq]

What is there to maintain with a blepharoplasty?

[@pyu7330]

I want to know too

[@oxar1122]

Veneers and having teeth shaved down gives me the heebie jeebies, and i could never do it for cosmetics, but i appreciate that shes sharing it so other people can see what to expect. Its interesting!

[@WilliamsPinch]

I’ve had my teeth shaved down 3x simply bc they’re so big. It feels terrible 😅 heebie jeebies is the perfect way to describe it

[@BrooklynAlien]

They should not have to shave them down like that. They only need to shave down the front a bit to have something for the cement to grip onto. I still wish more people would just get braces before doing this though. There is still no going back.

[@lollsazz]

Wow, the dentist that did the composite veneers was a real artist! That's some really great shaping!

[@ayuumz0921]

Please young viewers, keep your precious teeth!!

[@bellarina]

I get it when it's a lifechanging makeover for someone, but so many online teens turn 18 and get the big shave-down and porcelain veneers. It is crazy to see how much the dentists take off for the first sets especially for such young clients, like they don't even think about how many more times they'll have to get them redone and what are they supoosed to be taking off of later? Plus much bigger risk of infections 😨 it's scary! I did appreciate Tina's dentist for not shaving her natural teeth under into tiny stubs!

[@Kiarakc_]

It’s technically the same thing as the crowns you get for root canals and i sadly had to get one on a front tooth when i was 20 (i’m 24 now) so we can’t always keep our teeth

[@marials9245]

I fully agree, there is nothing like your original well maintained teeth, great dental hygiene and regular dentist visits, and you have to do that since you are a kid

[@cowandkat]

Agreed if u have healthy teeth there’s no reason why u should replace them with fake ones!!

[@rimun5235]

@@bellarina I genuinely think dentists shouldn't even be doing this on people with healthy teeth. There is truly nothing as good as natural teeth and I sat this as someone who had a dentist mess up two of my teeth when I was young. I ended up getting implants as an adult but I cannot imagine compromising my natural teeth...

[@bbbonito]

I didn't think you needed to change your old teeth but the new teeth DO look better! Thank you for sharing!

[@amessina4333]

I got my porcelain veneers in 1998 when I was 26 and I’m now 51! I think 2024 is my year to finally have them redone. The teeth themselves still look amazing but the gum recession is the giveaway. Maybe I’ll get 25 years out of the next set, too! Yours look gorgeous, Tina! Congrats!

[@mmiek796]

Wow! Your dentist did an amazing job

[@amessina4333]

@@mmiek796 he really did! At the time they were so brand new to market that they didn’t know exactly how long they’d last. I think it just depends on their expertise as well as how well you take care of your teeth. Even though I’ve moved across country since I had them done, I’ll go back to him to have them redone!

[@desertrose88]

I think gum recession happens whether you get veneers or not. It is nice to hear that they lasted this long! I also heard there are many ways to reverse gum recession. :)

[@tina_yong]

Wow! thats amazing! I Hope mine will last 25years

[@amessina4333]

@@tina_yong I hope my second set lasts as long as the originals!

[@00pikk]

The end result looked really good, it suits your face a lot!

[@tina_yong]

thank you

[@comkver]

I'm really glad that you are honest with the cost and cons of veneers!

[@erinbailey4631]

Registered dental assistant here: I really appreciate Tina being so vulnerable and transparent here! Veneers are a lot of work and a bit commitment. I’m guessing the people who had their teeth shaved down so much were getting crowns. I assist with about 3-5 crown procedures a week and those little “nubs” look like crown preps. Crowns are typically more stable but take away more tooth structure so the procedure is usually more intense. My patients are usually over 65 so they are looking for less maintenance and more stability. Veneers for sure take a special kind of dentist! Tina’s look fantastic!

[@jia89]

I believe these are still veneer preps. Oftentimes during veneer prep, the interproximal enamel is also reduced, giving the appearance of crown preps. This is so that the technician can have more control over the size of the teeth in cases of slight crowding and provide a more aesthetic result as leaving the natural tooth in that area sometimes results in a demarcation that can be visible.

[@TheBeanHome]

I am SO GLAD you listed the cons. People NEED TO KNOW!!

[@SEH221]

This is genuinely the best video on the entire veneers process I've seen online. I appreciate you talking about your past composite veneers as well as showing what your prepped but not temped smile looks like, and some of the cons that are associated with veneers.

[@koriandr22]

The new veneers look amazing! It’s crazy you had the old ones for so long.

[@melissaneal3808]

This dentist did an amazing job!!! I’m kind of anti-veneers for myself but yours look amazing!

[@GennaPotocki-xo8ft]

Wait you have had veneers for 13 years! They look so natural tho! Omg.

[@janetsuh5967]

So brave of you to show us your shaved down smile! But you’re right your smile is very fitting and lights up your face!

[@dianawilliams3514]

Thanks for being so honest about your experiences. You really do have a perfect smile 😊

[@QueenAlia]

Your veneers look great! Glad you found a good dentist who didn’t ruin your natural teeth! Those TikTokers who get their teeth shaved to little nibs are NOT getting veneers, they are actually getting crowns! They’re being mislead or are misinformed about what veneers are. And crowns like that will lead to losing their teeth down the line 😬

[@M15299]

In love with how natural they look before and after, I wouldn’t have known unless you said it

[@hayley.s8696]

There definitely is some learning when it comes to altering your teeth and overall oral health. With today's standards of beauty, so many people feel like they need to get their teeth done when they really don't need it. You only have one set of teeth for the rest of your life so please take care of them.

[@munmunwinchester]

Agreed,

[@koh5716]

Your veneers look so good!

[@liv4050]

and with veneers, usually they do NOT shave that much tooth off on the sides. it looks more like a semi-crown for the front two teeth instead of veneers.

[@d.i.a.5392]

The center of teeth is your nerves, as you shave them down they become very vulnerable or sensitive to cold and hot. Thats a big thing to consider!

[@TheBlueazul03]

Nothing beats having your natural teeth.

[@klarabarunovic9841]

​@krystalynkersey ok, veneers advocate...🙄

My old dentist treated me so good and i have never had any failed procedures with them. I’m sadly an hour away now and can’t trust any other dentists 😭

[@cmoore8434]

Very good and informative video. Thank you! You gave so much more perspective and detail than I've seen elsewhere. Your teeth look great;

[@melissamoeller9608]

I appreciate your honest take on this

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

It is amazing seeing these progresses in dental work. Ans the process that goes behind all these little details. All the time, work, money, commitment. Wow. Thank you for sharing!❤

[@SlidellBaby]

I am beyond happy for you. When my adult teeth came in, my enamel was incomplete. On top of that I had overcrowding and a narrow pallet. Taking braces off took off more enamel so while I was happy to finally have a good bite and straight teeth after years of work, I now had mottled teeth. The first time I was ever proud of my teeth was when I had them bonded, very similar to what you had previously other than mine didn't seem as thick and they tried to keep my natural length.

[@katiekay4516]

Am I the only person whose really freaked out by this? Like people sacrifice the health of their actual teeth to have fake ones plastered over the top? Fair enough if you're really old and your teeth are needed a pick me up but people are having their perfectly healthy teeth shaved away for this! Love you Tina and appreciate your honesty and integrity as always but wish younger people would avoid this till older age.

[@MRorizs2]

Your new veneers look really good and your smile is beautiful! I used to like the charm with the bigger front teeth from before, but it is still really gorgeous now! Thank you for your transparency on the cons part. Most people online don't have this honesty and seem to only want to validate their choices, which makes other people think there's no bad side at all to these procedures, but there's always consequences. What mattes is if you think the pros outweight the cons for yourself.

[@datazngirl]

I like how natural they look compared to many other veneers I’ve seen.

[@angelinam6855]

thanks for sharing Tina - your veneers have been done very well. Love your teeth - so natural

[@littlebeebs1]

Yours look so natural , I’d never have known . I can usually spot them a mile away. You’re brave to get them . I just had one filed and “fixed “ years ago. I didn’t know they’d file them down first . They used white filling material to fix it and it fell off within a week . Thank god it looks ok. I’ve seen many people with veneers with stains at the gum line. I feel bad for those people. Anyway, your teeth are amazing! You’re gorgeous anyway ❤

[@katieadams7708]

I’ve always wondered what veneers were like. This explained a lot. Yours look amazing! It’s not something I would do, as I have very solid healthy teeth, and at my age I wouldn’t want to go through the whole process, I had enough complex teeth things done when I had braces for 5 years lol.

[@satellitebrain]

Thank you for uploading such an in-depth and honest video about veneers. I had never known much about them and was always curious. Your new ones look great Tina!

[@anna-booklove]

Hi guys! Just wanted to say please don't get veneers in your 20's. It's completely unnassasary because you will destroy your natural teeth. I know looks matter and stuff but having natural health teeth should be the most important. Also in my opinion little unperfections are what makes us interesting and not everyone needs perfect looking teeth. I really like Tina but veneers in your 20's is nothing you should promote in my opinion.

[@krastnjazz]

She did say composite veneers, meaning they shouldn't have shaved any of the original tooth, but instead simply build on top of it

[@yelhsasokolova8561]

Gorgeous! ❤ also, I would have never guessed you had veneers before! They looked so natural

[@AuroraSnowflake]

I think it's important to know the difference between veneers and crowns. Those shark teeth are for crowns. If you're getting veneers, the dentist will only shave down a little bit of your tooth substance.

[@N9diaries]

They look so good!😍 looks in harmony w your features! Beautiful❤️

[@nyomicasey]

Could you do a video on all of the procedures you have had done and your experience/regrets/pros/cons

[@deanacae]

Personally, I am hating this fad of people getting veneers especially something permanent that you can never go back to your original teeth. I love you and your videos but I am not a fan of promoting this in general, though its good to see a video that shares honest opinions and that is what I like about your videos. Anyway, its just my opinion I wanted to share. Im really glad it worked for you, and they do look very nice and natural which I am glad as compared to seeing a lot of celebrities get fake looking teeth! :) But at least to young people who have healthy teeth don't do this or at least think it through when your older, there are lots of other options.

[@tina_yong]

Yes that's why it was important for me to include the cons to getting veneers

[@deanacae]

Yes! Love that. Thank you for educating on this topic :)@@tina_yong

[@klarabarunovic9841]

I agree

[@joyceng4437]

I agree. I had no choice but to get veneers. I'd chipped both front teeth at a young age, had composite fillings for over a decade but they chipped multiple times. My first set of veneers fell out after 3 years. It is a massive hit to the self-confidence to be unable to smile. I DO NOT recommend getting them done. Not only because of the cost but also the what-if of them falling out accidentally.

I got veneers about 18 years ago (I'm 48 now) and I'm overdue getting them done again but I really, really need to go and sort them out because I have black at the very top of my two front teeth, which I believe is something to do with the 'cement' they used at the time. I hope they can sort it out because it looks awful! I love that you showed us what your teeth looked during the procedure, it was fascinating! Love watching your content, by the way! x

[@sirRustyiron]

4:22 The example you should of those tiktokers is that those are not veneers, those are crowns that they are getting without really understanding the impact of it. People call it 'TURKEY TEEH because of how unnaturally white and fake it looks. To simply explain. for crowns, the teeth get shaved down to lil stumps and the crown covers it fully. For Porcelain veneers, the teeth get shaved but minimally so the veneer fits well and doesn't look bulky. For composites, there is like super minimal to no shaving involved, however, these don't last long nor are they as sturdy as Porcelain. So my advice for people. always go to a reputed dentist to get Veneers and think/plan very carefully. If your teeth can be fixed with braces/Invisalign and teeth whitening then go for this, as you will achieve a very beautiful smile and will keep your natural teeth. As for Tina, your veneers came out absolutely fantastic, and the colour that you chose was spot on, if I spoke to you IRL then I'd probably think "Wow she has an absolutely amazing smile" instead of "Wow, she deffo had work done on her teeth"

Composite veneers could be a great option for minor changes and reshaping, that way your teeth wouldn't need to be shaved down, which is very important and irreversible! You would want to preserve as much of your nature teeth and enamel as possible, as they can NOT grow back.

[@suedanuris6196]

I recommend braces instead of veneers but braces are also a lifetime commitment. Even if your braces are off you should wear your retainers every night before bed. However, it is more cost-effective and healthy. And last but not least you get a perfect bite with your braces. However, veneers could not help your perfect bite in some cases. I said braces instead of Invisalign cuz in many cases braces are more effective.

[@waterchestnutful]

Insecure people (in comment sections) will literally find anything to feel superior about. Acting like “having your natural teeth” Is some actual virtue that they think about on a daily basis. For some reason making your own choices about your own body makes you a target for people like that. I’m sorry about the “you’re not ugly just poor” comments too, that’s another favorite of insecure people. You were not ugly before (I’m sure you know that!) and I’m glad you’re happy with your teeth they look great!

[@crystalKrystal]

For cosmetics reason, I guess if one can or has the ability to maintain veneers, they could since this is a lifetime commitment. But if one's finances are just right and has a bit of extra here and there, it isn't really ideal to get your teeth done especially if your natural teeth are fine and healthy. If you're still young tho, please take care of your little pearls. Takes a lot of commitment, effort, and money to maintain once they're gone.

[@mpc7111]
