16 Ups and Downs of Having Veneer Teeth

2. Down: Until You Open Your Mouth

While veneers look great, they are also the least comprehensive solution to a poor looking set of teeth. That is to say that they don’t fully cover your teeth, meaning that if someone sees them from a different angle, they will get quite a different view!

The classic example, of course, is when you yawn, laugh, or sing – and someone gets a flash of all your black fillings. It’s not a great look, and because your teeth previously looked so impressively white, it can actually be quite jarring.

Not the end of the world, but if you were to get crowns or a similar procedure instead, then you would be able to surround the entire tooth making the tops, bottoms, sides, and backs look white too! And psychologically, this can make quite a big difference as you will feel as though your teeth really are healthy and white – rather than just being fakes.
