Anyone had any cosmetic work done on their teeth?

Curious to know what is out there and at what cost.

I think my dentist struck me off his register a few years back as I missed a routine check up and haven't heard from them since. My one vice in life is fizzy drinks and I'm now conscious about the health of my teeth. They're not at the state of warranting a trip to Turkey, and that's too invasive a procedure for me anyway.

I am having cosmetic bonding done on my top four middle teeth next month. Cost is £1500 and that includes whitening treatment beforehand.

Is that like veneers?

It’s a cheaper option with a more limited shelf life.

I had the same done cost £1000. Was very pleased with the results, but it discolours and you have to keep up with the teeth whitening which is a real pain

Similar i think, i had it done when i was 16 (free on the NHS then!) but they have worn quite a bit now so need redoing.

I'm 34 now.

Quote for bridging work is £1800 so sounds about right

with gen Z craze for white teeth lot's of parables in below BBC programme
people still don't get that veneers will need replacing - pretty much a self mutilation proposal.
