    Dental veneers are very expensive and can be very bad for your existing teeth. I have seen news reports about cosmetic dentists who apply these veneers and they end up grinding down the teeth underneath to the point there is virtually nothing left of them. Not to mention you can suffer severe gum infections if the dentist you go to doesn't actually know what they are doing. They even said some of these dentists send away for pamphlets to put in their waiting rooms along with books showing before and after pictures to mislead clients into thinking they performed the actual cosmetic procedures. I was thinking of getting them done someday too due to damage done to my teeth from medications and poor nutrition but after seeing what happened to some people who have had veneers, I have decided against it. Not to mention, even if you find a qualified professional they can run you over $1,000 per tooth....and if you can't qualify for credit of borrow money from a relative my only suggestion would be if you get a tax refund maybe you could save that money up.

    When I was considering it though, the orthodontist I spoke to who is affiliated with the periodontist said that they recommend doing the four front teeth on the top and bottom because the texture of the veneers will be slightly thicker than your natural teeth and you want to do the teeth that will show the most....so plan on saving up alot of money.

    Cosmetic veneers are (most often) an elective procedure done for reasons of appearence.

    If you have little or no money, you are not a good credit risk for a dental practice. Since you did not say you are in pain, or are suffering as the result of an imperfect smile, there is little reason for other people to pay for - or loan you money for - your cosmetic procedure.

    Come to my office in true need of repair, pain relief, saving a compromised tooth - we'll make every effort to work with your finances.

    Why not work on repairing your bad credit, saving money, getting a better job and when you have disposable income, you can spend it however you want.

    You can have composite bonded on to close the gap. it is much less expensive and looks good for several years, however eventually it will discolor and stain. If you stay away from cigarettes, coffee, dark colored soft drinks and red wine they will last longer. But as with everything you get what you pay for. Find a dentist who like to do composite restorations and not one who really wants you to get the veneers you will find you get a better result. Also do not be afraid to complain if you do not like the shape of color of the restoration it is simple to fix. Good Luck hope this helps... PS some gaps a kinda sexy, gives character.

    Usually they will work with you and let you do it in monthly payments. Make sure you get the natural looking ones..if not you may look like a horse as ms hilary does:
