    Who pays now for the ongoing maintenance of your new smile?

    Were you given all the pros AND cons of tooth veneering?

    I'm sure they've been done beautifully - but it's not a once-in-a-lifetime treatment. They will need replacing every 8-10 years, or they will start looking awful.

    Don't mean to rain on your parade, but I hope you were given all the info on your prize, and weren't just a relatively cheap advert for the dentist.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
