Venners should be approached as a life-long investment, with prices that can reach up to $4,000. They also need replacement every 15-20 years, but despite the high price, Apa cautions against going to an inexperienced dentist, as this will reflect in the quality of the work. “The body’s natural way is to destroy anything foreign.
“The body’s natural way is to destroy anything foreign. The key to a successful procedure is tricking the body into recognizing veneers as natural teeth. When the body rejects veneers, the gums swell, veneers start to pop off, and you’ll notice bad breath caused by trapped bacteria. “The list goes on and on.

Dr. Apa also considers that it is important to preserve the asymmetry of the teeth, because ”no one in life exists in complete symmetry”, and choose a rather conservative approach because a poor job will reflect for the rest of your life.
The famous dentist also advises against using references, because no two sets of teeth look the same. “Everything is so specialised to your own face, that if you brought a picture of someone else’s teeth and you were like, I like her teeth! They’d never work in your mouth,” Apa says.
