At the beginning of the year, the term veneer tech has been popularized all over social media. It’s no surprise celebrities, influencers and now regular people are dabbling in cosmetic dental procedure tiktok and getting influenced to change up their smile. The Hollywood smile has always existed but it’s starting to look strange when everyone shows up to the function with bright teeth looking super uniform, without any flaws. We’re all gonna end up looking the same! Thanks to beauty standards and people pretending to be dentists online. The Rise and Fall of The Veneer Industry #edvasian

I am 39 now and have almost 20 crowns with about the same amounts of root canals done since I was 15 - because my teeth weren’t professionally cleaned before the bracers were put on and I got decay on literally every single tooth.

Veneers look weird in real life. A family friend I hadn't seen in 10 years showed up with them and I couldn't stop staring. They were very well done, but they were JARRING. There is definitely a bell curve/uncanny valley with teeth. Straight, white smiles are visually pleasing, yes, but when they're TOO uniform and TOO white, its creepy. Like individually each fake tooth looks fine, but when they're all next to each other somehow your brain knows something is wrong. Its hard to put into words, but you'll know it when you see it. I read people talking about it online before and assumed they were jealous or exaggerating - no. It's a real thing. Get braces if you want, whiten your teeth if you want, but avoid fake teeh if you can. Hey, he looks amazing in pictures though!! 💅

[@peachesandcream8753]

I can confirm this too. Someone I work with has veneers and they are weird to look at; you can tell they're fake because they look thicker than normal teeth and have an uncanny look to them.

[@ryannatividad3137]

I think it also feels weirder when you're used to someone's old smile/teeth, and it looks jarringly different. If someone had never met the person, they probably wouldn't consciously notice their teeth at all.

[@mordecaiissad8529]

It depends. A friend of mine has a few, on her front teeth, and they look fine. Maybe theres something also to be said about not having a full set done? The dentist wasn't trying to make her a new set of teeth just make a few veneers that will fit with her other teeth naturally.

I don't even have wisdom teeth, never got them. I am 29 so I am not getting it but others in my family or in others family have it and that's not a thing. I didn't hear it evdn from celebrities bcz they follow western world a lot but it seems like they aren't following this one. They get teeth removed only when there is cavity or some medical need where teeth staying there will cause more harm.

[@Phoenix.219]

In 2007-08 my teacher's sister died of mouth cancer and the reason was that when she got her teeth removed , a tiny piece of teeth stayed in the gum and I don't know details but it turned cancerous. She went to a good dentist but still that happened. That's why I learnt at early age the importance of dentists. Unfortunately, when her cancer got detected it was already in 3rd stage and she passed away. She was probably in early to mid 30s.

[@sarahr2898]

As an orthodontist, "veneer tech" is a new fear unlocked! You only grow enamel once when you develop teeth, every tooth has a nerve in the centre, and gums have bone sitting underneath. Getting your teeth altered in any way by a non-medically trained "tech" risks all of these- please alter them as little as possible if they are healthy! Aligners or braces with a registered orthodontist are great options to give you a straight smile while keeping the character (and structure) of your own teeth- a great option if you have the access and some patience.

[@joa3494]

It’s really sad that the majority of people see laziness/drug abuse when they see someone with imperfect teeth. Without even considering that it could be mental illness, childhood neglect, side effects of a pregnancy, results from an accident, or an underlying medical condition. People place way too much value on the physical appearance of people and often assume the worst when someone isn’t fitting their ableist view of what a healthy person should look like.

[@GIChiyo]

[@BrianaCunningham]

100% it was a whole process and took several visits for me. I have a health issue that caused me to need a few porcelain caps to prevent further damage. I can't imagine going to someone's house!

[@Rascilon25]

I have them too, and while they were expensive and painful I am so much happier with my smile now. I should mention I went with a more natural B1 color rather than bleach white that just look fake. No one knows I have veneers unless I tell them. I should also say I already needed 3 crowns on the anterior teeth anyway, so it made sense to get veneers for the rest because it improved the aesthetics. You really should be choosy with your dentist too. B1 looks whiter and more natural than A1 in my opinion, which is still below the super bleached look.

[@zebnemma]

I also have two injured teeth that some people have been saying that veneers is an option. How are those teeth doing now? Are you happy with the result? And how to manage veneer teeth? I'm legit terrified of grinding my teeth down, I would only do it as last resort.

[@BrianaCunningham]

@zebnemma if done properly they could really help. Definitely research your dentist before you do it. :)

[@Rascilon25]

@@zebnemma If the teeth are injured, you may have nerve damage. A lot of people don't know this, but you don't need decay to need a root canal. That said, it's standard practice to put a crown over a root canal. Veneers should really only be applied to healthy teeth. You do need to remove a millimeter or two of enamel but definitely not as deep as a root canal or crown. My advice is get all your teeth medically healthy first before even considering veneers. No reputable dentist would recommend veneers on any teeth that have caries (cavities) or nerve damage. They are quite expensive, so make sure you do your research not only on the dentist but also the lab. In my case I intentionally sought a lab that hand made the teeth rather than computer aided design which is more common and a bit cheaper. For me it was worth the extra few thousand to have that extra level of craftsmanship. Computers can do a fine job, but also can come out too perfect looking and not look natural. The added benefit of a hand made lab is you can work with them to get exactly the color and symmetry that fits your face and smile. Whatever you do, shop around and do your research. Just because one dentist may be more costly, doesn't necessarily mean they produce the best veneers. Familiarize yourself with the materials too, there are a variety of porcelains, EMAX and zirconium for example that have different applications depending on different factors. EMAX tends to be stronger, but zirconium has a bit more translucence like real teeth. A skilled craftsman will blend both to make the teeth indistinguishable from real teeth. The problem with influencers and stars is they go so far with the whiteness and perfect symmetry that it looks obviously fake. In my opinion it's much better for the teeth to look natural. To accomplish that though you really need to ask the right questions and be willing to shop around. When you are dropping 15-30k on veneers/crowns it's worth the effort. It can in some cases be quite painful. When you are working on say a full smile of 8 teeth at once, when they are exposed and being imaged for the final veneers they can be very sensitive to cold, air and pressure. I would say imaging a full half upper set is 2 to 3x more painful than a single root canal. I am VERY happy with my end result and get compliments all the time. They look, feel and chew like normal teeth. Of course, with such a big investment you do need to keep your oral hygiene up and never miss a day of brushing or flossing. Cavities can form beneath the crowns or veneers which can cause them to fail early, and may even mean you would need a more invasive treatment than you normally would because you won't actually see the decay on your teeth. In short, it's not something I would recommend to everyone, but if you are unhappy with your smile and already need some medical intervention anyway, it may make sense to take the opportunity to upgrade your smile. Hope that helps.

I have a similar story: finally going to the dentist after a few years due to cost/severe anxiety, got the big full jaw x-ray done so they could see everything and there was an abscess.

It was the first thing to get fixed and I'm further along in my long journey to better dental health.

It started to hurt on Friday and I was like "maybe they don't work in weekend", then on Monday it didn't hurt too bad and I went to school. When I came to dentist on Tuesday they scanned and said there is inflammation near my eye already (and it was down tooth!) and in 1-2 days it could be near my brain and I can die. So dear people, go to licenced dentists, it's not a joke. I doubt all these veneer "techs" have proper equipment and sterile instruments.

[@Rhiannercakes]

I have to get a tooth replaced because your teeth collapse inward if you don't and you had it yanked. This is still labeled as cosmetic despite being literally part of oral health because it messes up the rest of your teeth. Teeth are expensive.

I went to school with a girl who had braces through middle school to correct her teeth back in the late 90s and early 2000s. They weren’t bad or super crooked, just needed a wee bit of an alignment to help her jaw issues. I remember when she got them off in high school. Considering how much pain and aggravation she went through the years prior with her braces … it’s no wonder she was always meticulous about her smile. She had gotten “best smile” for our class yearbook when we graduated. Fast forward some odd years and I see her on social media. I hadn’t seen her in person in probably close to a decade, but something looked off and I couldn’t put my finger on what it was until I went through an old photo album, saw photos of us together, and noticed her smile was very different. It was … big - like not _extra_ teeth big, but bigger sized teeth as a whole. They were all so straight and uniform. Super duper white, too. Her smile was completely different. During the tail end of the pandemic, I see a post from her about how she had gotten veneers and was having issues with them. One had “popped” off in the back, and she posted a picture showing the small stubby tooth that the veneer was over and mentioned having jaw pain that she hadn’t experienced since she was younger. I’m not a dentist, obviously, and I can be unsure of this, but if someone has braces they will often need to wear a retainer when they sleep, right? I ask, because she mentioned in her post about getting veneers and hoping that she’d never have to worry about ever needing braces or retainers again. The way she worded it, it just seemed like she got veneers to do away with those troubles … but instead it brought on more. All those teeth she spent time realigning and wearing braces over now stubs with fake teeth over them that look extremely unnatural and blinding. It’s sad, really. She had a beautiful smile that really was unique with the shape of her teeth, but now it looks like every other influencer’s smile. Every time I see the topic of these veneers brought up, I always think of her, and it then has me wondering how many people out there have ruined their perfectly fine natural teeth to get these things put on for a certain aesthetic without thinking long-term …

[@Nikicchi6363]

I know someone who wants to get it done. She will be travelling to Turkey for it. I only talk to her casually so it's hard for me to say she should think about it carefully. She seems to think it's worth it, although there is nothing wrong with her teeth now.

[@Peachu_n_Goma_Home]

Retainer is no trouble at all, you will get used to it wearing it sleeping at night. And follow your orthodontist instruction your teeth will be fine after braces, those who are lazy to wear to retainer will have to do 2nd round braces. I got my braces at age 30, still the same straight teeth at 37. 😊

[@oliveherklozoff9398]

As someone with some ugly teeth and has been bullied for them, this both scares and saddens me. Would I like to have aesthetically pleasing teeth? Absolutely! But as it is, checkups and cleanings are already expensive as heck, any cosmetic procedures already feel unattainable. The fact that there are chop shops for such things... i have no words. Your mouth, and all of it's inner workings are so close to both your heart and brain that anything going wrong is a quick recipe for disaster. Ignorance is bliss i suppose 😬

[@Zeverinsen]

Honestly, most people would be good with cutting out drinks/foods that stain their teeth, upping their brushing routine and getting some whitening strips. Seems like maybe about 5% of the people who are getting or have gotten veneers at this point, actually needed or benefited from doing so. It's funny in a sad way that so many people even forego a professional consultation, when it could save them so much trouble in the future. My family is a good example of how you can solve problems with other measures. My mom has needed extra coating on her teeth because of self-inflicted damage to her enamel, due to brushing too hard. She also has a crown due to chipping. My cousin needed braces because he had twin teeth. My brothers got the choice to wear preemptive retainers, or end up needing braces. One wore the retainers, and has perfectly straight teeth. The other one didn't, and now has to wear braces. Their main problem was still that they didn't brush properly, and their teeth look so much better after improving that as well. All of them have normal looking teeth now, and for my brother it could've cost significantly less if he had just worn his stupid retainer lmao!

[@fluffers7997]

Lived with messed up teeth for 20 years after I tripped and smashed my front teeth. Eventually got an abscess that gave me headaches so I ended up needing 4 crowns since the root canals made my teeth super discolored along with them being broken. The 4 crowns took about 6 hours to get with all the care the dentist took to make them look natural. Whole process was over 8k for 4 teeth. Dentist even gave me free bleaching and invisaline because my smile was so ugly he felt bad for me. So probably over 10k if I had to pay for that. I cant imagine doing my entire mouth in an afternoon in someone's kitchen for 4k. That price alone would scare me off.

I was genetically missing adult incisors and was exploring options and was given the option for veneers or the possibility of implants. I never wanted veneers since they just don’t seem like a good permanent option.

I remember when I read an article _years_ ago about how crooked and "weird" teeth were seen as cute in Japan. I also remember when braces were kinda trending, to the point that I wanted braces myself, even though I have always had very nice teeth. Honestly, your teeth are so important to your face, and getting weird new teeth that don't really fit your face just for a trend is *_so incredibly stupid!_* Also, you don't have to become a dentist to find all the information you need to actually understand the anatomy of your teeth, and why teeth are so important to your facial structure. Nobody is hiding the information, they're just saying you can't _practice_ dentistry on other people without certification of your actual knowledge and training. In fact, I'd encourage anyone to read more about how their body actually works, because it is good knowledge to have in general. If you study properly beforehand, you could probably breeze through your studies, but nothing changes the fact that other people need to be reassured that you actually have been trained properly, *before you risk their lives.* Remember that _any_ medical procedure has a risk.

[@musiclistner94]

Last year I got really bad acne on my jaw and cheeks. Before that I had not cared about my teeth, they were just there and are pretty straight but a bit discoloured. But my self-esteem got really bad bc of the acne, and probably because I used a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror, I suddenly started noticing how "brown" my teeth where. I desperately wanted to get them whitened, something I had never thought of before. I went from being confident about my smile, to hating it. Self-esteem and how you view yourself can really fuck up your perspective of yourself.

I have a perfectly straight line of teeth worth at LEAST $8,000 thanks to intense dental care from 1999-present, but they are not blindingly white. They are a tiny bit yellowish, and I have felt peer pressure before to get them bleached. Tbh now I'm happier about my teeth being fairly healthy and natural, rather than them being whiter than copier paper. (The dental care I underwent wasn't primarily cosmetic, it was so my bottom front teeth wouldn't cause extreme and permanent inflammation of my upper gums due to overbite in the future.)

[@AlliRayy]

Very smart decision. Blinding white teeth just scream fake and awkward

[@xXAzureIrisXx]

people like to forget that their teeth are bones and any problem or infection you get in your mouth has direct access to your brain and blood stream. Before antibiotics people would die from tooth infections. You also have major nerves running through each tooth. Even if you’re not scared of infections, damage to the nerve can cause lifelong pain or more expensive dental procedures to fix!

[@TuxedoMasc]

Permanent procedures need to be advertised and talked about with the understanding that "permanent cosmetic procedure" doesn't necessarily mean no maintenance at all. Breast implants, veneers, etc. need to be taken care of well at home and can even be required to get replaced every 10 yrs - not just one-and-done choices here - they can be lifelong commitments.

We tried in office bleaching but my teeth got too sensitive so I have to quit. Since then my amazing dentist reminds me every time that my teeth are super healthy and beautiful, insists I shouldn’t do verneers or other stuff. He says ‘your smile makes people happy, so I wouldn’t want to be the one to ruin that’. Sadly most dentists are all about the money, and the checks in the dentistry field here are not strict enough. Don’t go for Turkey teeth, stick to your own unless you really really have to and find a decent dentist.

When I was around seven or eight, I lost one of my baby teeth as expected but the one that grew in grew in backwards and twisted. I had to spend almost three years going into the dentist regularly to get updates to my braces, which were done with invisilign because that was what would be the least painful. I have no idea why anyone would risk getting things done like this, especially when they could cause more serious treatments being required by an actual dentist. It's not only a poorly thought out and wastefully expensive choice, it's a dangerous one.

We also have technically the same thing here in the Philippines, but instead of “veneer techs” we have braces made out of cheap thin wire that easily catches rust. Also, super glue is used to apply the braces directly unto the teeth. People who practice these are unlicensed and it could be anyone. They don’t even have these certificates to prove that they attended seminars which can grant them to practice such, unlike these so called veneer techs. It’s crazy how these appliances are used to fix the malpositioning your teeth and aid for proper functioning of your oral cavity but it is now a status symbol because “you are able to afford it”. A lot of people, especially young ones fall for the illusion. They may change your appearance for a cheap price, but it is so not worth it. It can even bring more harm than help 😢
