Should I get porcelain veneers?

Due to an unfortunate incident, I lost my upper right incisor. A few months ago, I got an implant (I'm still waiting for the crown). My upper left front tooth has a little chip that's been fixed with bonding but overall, my teeth are a little discolored. With the new implant, I'm going to have to get whitening done but with the bonding material, it just seems so much to have to make sure all my front teeth would be the same shade. I'm 19 and I'm thinking of getting three veneers ---- for my upper left incisor and my two front teeth. With that, all my four front teeth would match.





Does anyone have an opinion on this? Should I do it or am I too young? Does it seem like a good idea?





*I know I should speak to my dentist but I just want to hear other people's opinions too.

Should I get porcelain veneers?
I had thought about it too but found out they're going to file my teeth down. veneers are permanent and that sort of disturbs me. I did have my teeth bleached and they look great and I also had braces a few yrs ago since I didn't as a kid. some veneers turn yellow too. so ask your dentist how long they'll staywhite and what happens if you have to replace them
Reply:If that's what you want go for it. You're not too young. I'm 18 and just got 6 crowns put on my front teeth, basically cuz i needed them on a couple and this way they all match. Just make sure that you get them the shade you want the first time because you can't use like crest whitening stuff on veneers.
