Here is a quick patient masterclass for anyone thinking about veneers. I won't discuss other topics like orthodontics - which is about moving teeth... but understand veneers are considered "Invasive" because they involve removing natural tooth structure in almost all cases. A combination of orthodontics and veneers may be more conservative for your teeth and offer better future options.... vs only veneers as the quickest option. Why? 1. you have teeth in your current arrangement - look shape, colour. 2. You want teeth in a new arrangement - different angles, maybe larger, smaller, or sometimes to disguise internal discolouration that cannot be removed. The impact of going from 1 to 2 will depend on how much, if any, natural tooth must be removed to achieve the look you want in order to place the type of veneer material needed to meet your goals. The more natural tooth that must be removed, the more you should consider the seriousness of the treatment and alternatives. Some "Aesthetic" dentists have no respect for retention of natural tooth in a whole of life regard - they only consider the treatment today and if the tooth will be strong enough after they cut it back. Its nerve dying in 3 yrs or what the replacement veneer/crown will need to be is not their priority. Here are some foundational truths: 1. NO DENTISTRY LASTS FOREVER. All restorative or prosthetic work will have a finite life and when it fails, a replacement must be available. The more you cut teeth away the less there is to work with in future. The shorter the life span of your installed work the more frequently this must occur... it's a cycle. 2. All dentists are not equal - a "cosmetic dentist" is just a dentist and may be poor/average/great. Don't think you need to go to the place with the biggest advertising - find the best clinician. If in doubt for multiple veneers - ask for a referral to a Prosthodontist who is a Specialist in this field. 3. Different countries have different rules and standards. Be *very* careful if you decide to go on a "treatment holiday" to some third world country for cheap treatment. It can be amazing - yet also very likely you will be one of the people I see who need their entire mouth repaired having had their teeth, supporting bone and gums butchered. Don't be 30 yrs old with butchered teeth you need for 70 more years.

Hey everyone. If you think of getting veneers, i just want to tell you that there is always a risk that it can go wrong. My dentist did a mistake and all my 4 front teeth died. I had extrem pain, nobody took me serious in the beginning, and now all 4 teeth are dead and i am in pain since 2 years. So really think about the risk even if it's not common. If you have a nice smile, but nothing you can smile about anymore because you are suffering all day long and pain killers don't work, than it isn't worth it! If you are young and really want to change the look of your teeth, look for non-prep veneers!

This video was so thorough and interesting. Congrats on getting the teeth that make you want to smile more! I love how aesthetic procedures are such a personal thing, so we can all approach it with different views. Dr Keller truly listening to YOUR wants and making them real for you is amazing.

It is good to see you are healthy with no medical complications. You also have a nurse job and an another side job, so it must take a toll on your energy. Now, you are robust and vigorous and actually and chew food normally again. That's great.

I’ve not heard of porcelain veneers lasting 25-30 years. Every dentist around my area said porcelain veneers lasts 15-20 years and that with wearing a night guard to prevent grinding.

I wish I could put a ❤️ instead of ‘just’ a 👍🏼. You’re terrifically inspirational and such a joy! Thanks for all the dirt on your veneers. I’m doing it!!😁☮️💜

Quick perspective: for some reason I can always spot someone with veneers - because teeth root is not connected to gums + create shadow around contour + teeth looks connected with no space in between. I think humans tend to focus on perfecting one detail without perfecting what's around (aka facial feature) - now need to make the bottom teeth matching the top!

Straight to the point thanks Miki!!!

You look beautiful with or without veneers; do what makes you feel confident. Hope to see you and Kev at the next Singapore meetup. Couldn't join you guys this year because I had a full day of class.

Me: oh it’s okayyyyyyy Miki: ✨“PeR tOoTh”✨ Me: bye👋🏼💜

"uploaded 58 seconds ago" i've never been this early ahhhhh so excited to see

as a dentist i really dont recommend veneers for young patients unless you really have big self esteem issues. Ultimately, anything used to replace a tooth will not be as good as natural teeth but if it makes a significant difference in your mental health it could be worth it

Im in the same boat. I have big gum smile , makes me actually hate to take pictures. I was so hesitated to do it cause I heard some ppl talk abt the amount of enamel was damaged. Thanks for sharing the experience!

The final result is incredible. A very pleasant color turned out to be BL-3, in my opinion the most optimal color from light shades. There are at least 5 options for how to make it. I am a dental technician and my main rule is the teeth should be in harmony with the face and not the face with the teeth. You have exactly that. Excellent treatment result.

Gummy smile is because of maxilla jaw was longer, which is just how your jaw grows. I have a slightly longer right jaw and my smile is crooked to one side. I have a crooked tooth as well and my both jaws were not aligned due to the jaw. Great to hear that u are happy with your smile but veneers needed to be replaced from what i have seen from other dentists videos. But i most likely wont change myself because my jaw deformation is what makes me special.

Her teeth looked perfect before

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!

Hello I hope anyone that is reading this is having an amazing day or night. Hi Miki love your videos

You have a million dollar smile for 15K…not a bad deal. “You only live twice Or so it seems One life for yourself And one for your dreams”

OMG i'll definitely be going to them when i'm ready to get veneers

Man I wish my experience was this thorough.

I love your new smile!! Is it possible to add on more front veneers if you decide you have more funds to make it more neat?

I hate my teeth too ! I wish I could afford it , my front teeth are bad since I was 8 :( it literally makes me never smile , people don’t understand but glad you did something for you they’re beautiful!

Do you plan on doing the bottoms? I’m debating whether to get just the tops or both done.

Always someone prettier/fitter/taller/healthier/richer/smarter. Only Hollywood actors/tv people need them imo but I’m just a nobody :)

Her teeth look weirder now with veneers. Upper teeth look chunkier because of that extra veneer layer compared to the bottom. It looks like she’s just constantly wearing opaque invisalign. Coming from a dentistry family, teeth101 never grind down perfectly healthy teeth for vanity, because if they’re done incorrectly you’ll have nerve damage and pain. Teeth aren’t like nails they don’t ever grow back~

Early squad checking in

They look good! I like the colour

Almost all of the smiles before veneers looked better. Veneers all look like dentures.

Great video, thanks

Thank you for sharing and glad you are happier now.

Did your dentist discuss what the veneer replacement process is like?

They look amazing 👍🏾👏🏾🤗❤️

the veneers look nice but your natural teeth was perfectly imperfect. either way happy you got what makes you happy.

Good for you😊

I appreciate this review

Well I think you look pretty both ways. I have veneers also. Glad I did it. God Bless.

Veneers look great, but I can't accept that the dental doctor will grind away your natural tooth to "nubs" to fit in the veneer inserts.

I am getting a couple of veneers in the very front of my mouth (teeth 7-10). My question is, I am contemplating getting crowns instead of veneers for the sole reason of, I travel extensively and sometimes for years* at a time. I have seen MANY you tube videos stating veneers fall off and it is fairly common. Given I travel, would be a HELL of a nightmare for this to happen. Have you had any problems with your veneers? did they brief you on the possibility of this happening? what are your thoughts on this?

Great information and BTW, you look beautiful with the new veneers! 🎉

Thank you 😊

ooooooo your veneers are giving rich aesthetic

If I had your teeth before the veneer, I would be very happy. I have a gap in my front teeth due to missing tooth when I was a child( bad dentistry and parenting). The other front tooth shifted so as an adult now I have two big gaps because the other tooth shifted over. 😢

Still as beautiful ❤

You have the prettiest uniquely beautiful smile 😃 ever before you got veneers. Don’t let them little insecurities about yourself change your very unique body and your original smile is alway stunning 🤩. Here’s why I say this because when you started posting new videos “I was like why did she change her teeth they were so beautiful before. Now her smile looks fake like everyone else. But I get it. It’s your body and whatever makes you happy 😊 and healthy love your self.

I'm going to get mine done in miami next month. My teeth have been a sore spot with me since I was kid. I'm nervous but I'm going to do it.

the picture with the temporarys look like an ad for a dental office LMAOO

Honestly ive always wanted to get veneers, because it would last a long long time, but no insurance covers it, who has 14k to spend on that out of pocket:(

Congrats teeth look great! But TBH never even noticed the issues with your reeth before!

🎉🎉🎉

Love the results. Your teeth go very well with you. The color and all. ❤️ can’t wait for mine.

What did they give you so your gums would grow back?

It’s funny. If you go back to her some of her videos where she just got them done and ppl pointed them out there were so many comments clapping back that they were not veneers 🤣😂

Lol She looks like she’s wearing a mouth guard 😂 This society is broken 😢

I understand why she got veneers... I do see the gums she was talking about! But I would love to have her old teeth compare to what I have my teeth are extremely bad to were I'm going to have to get them all pulled out !!

What if it keeps on falling off? Any home recomendation?

Lmao at a healthcare worker being terrified of dentists 😂

All these people on KZfaq who get veneers, I would love to just have their before teeth

These look so good. lol I want your natural teeth. I have tiny teeth.

Your teeth looked totally fine before, but damn the veneers do I think make you look significantly better. I have fluorosis so my teeth can't be whitened so considering veneers. I was looking at a place in Seattle that was a little cheaper than yours though.

Hey Miki, lemme know how your gums are feeling now.

Best destist you get in Philippines cost around 500-600 per tooth. I gona get mine done soon.

I got 20 emax laminate veneers in BL2. They’re so pretty lol. The edges are translucent. I need to wear the night guard but I don’t do it 😅😅

They look great !

Is it hard to close your mouth after the procedure? It looks like your top lip partly closes like you have something in front of your teeth. Taylor swift has the same issue and I’m wondering if it’s the veneers that causes this

I applaud you for putting yourself out there every day. But the fact that you had an insecurity that you clearly couldn’t see was body dysmorphia, makes it hard to take this video seriously.

Veneer scream “fake” no matter how good the work is. Her teeth was perfect before.

That’s crazy because I genuinely NEVER EVER even noticed that about her teeth. Her mouth looks so different and kinna weird now tho.

This is kinda sad. I feel like many people are going to regret getting veneers in about ten years time

Wait so how much did you pay for them in the end?

I heard someone say she regretted having veneer done, because it smells.

I wish there are great dentist in Hong Kong as well…

Her teeth were good before but a smile is better now

I read that veneers can rot your real teeth is that correct?? I really want veneers

The top left front is bigger and longer

Honestly I loved your teeth before!

I got very excited when she said ‘veneers’ then i realized she meant”for teeth”, and i lost all excitenent.

Can we eat anything with them?

Do you need to have your teeth straight before putting on veneers?

These teeth look kinda big……

Bae got dem racks

Do you need to have straight teeth in order to have veeners?

Don’t understand why ppl are forcing themselves to say that the veneers look weird. They pretty clearly are better than her natural teeth

Weird teeth. Lower bite misaligned due to big chops of upper teeth :( What have you done?

When I see people with veneers, I just cringe. 😢

This persons teeth were literally fine b4

Your new smile and teeth look 100-time betters than the natural one.

Thank god you had this done. Now you no longer have to go through life as sideshow attraction.

Reduce the gums suit you really well. A bit too bright

did they grind down your teeth at all?

You look good with both but you looked better with gums.

DAMN GIRL THATS EXPENSIVE!! hahah

Your mouth is always open now. Bad breath is more common :( You could have seen a therapist to help you with your self- esteem issues.😢😢😢

Your teeth looked fine

How come you didn't show teeth shaved down. SMH. You're not being complete.

I regret getting veneer because I can't even bite an apple

Now that you have veneers, bad breath is common. You cannot close your mouth well :(

25-30 years is very optimistic. I'm sorry, you will be replacing those in 10.

Sorry, but the simulation is not how it turned out. Your original teeth are better. These turned out like Ross's from Friends.

All you needed was surgery to correct and tone down your gummy smile. That is what was unattractive about your natural smile not the shape or color of your teeth.
