Anyone have a row of porcelain veneers? If so did it hurt, how much does it cost etc, etc. I was thinking of getting my front teeth done.

Porcelain veneers?

I was given a quote about 1 yr ago with my dentist to have the top four teeth covered at $750 a tooth. I was told that they grind away some of the tooth on just the front surface and then attach the veneers with a uv light which permanetly bonds them to your teeth. They usually last 7-10 years and will have to be replaced at they chip or come off after that amount of time. Also, the veneer cannot stain and cannot be bleached. My deal, which I still plan to go through with, was to get my teeth bleached and have the veneers put on the match what the bleeching brought my teeth out to be. So bleach them first, then get the veneers. Otherwise, you risk having some teeth that stick out like a sore thumb since the color is different.

I TOTALLY agree with Bdub on this one. Anywhere from $650-800 is the going price per tooth for these veneers. They normally are not very painful. My ex wife is a dental hygenist and she rarely saw problems with these veneers. And yes they usually last around 10 years depending on which teeth. Obviously the front ones will last longer and depends how well you take care of them. Good luck. PEACE! KIR
