43. I got veneers for cosmetic purposes for slightly chipped front teeth

that I hated the looks of. I was told to avoid biting on hard things, which I wouldn't anyhow, so they've held up just fine - I've had them for about 10 years now (got a crown on another tooth that does more crunching). It was definitely not a simple glue-on process, though - it took several visits and some careful puttering and fitting and shaping by the dentist, but I'm really satisfied with the result. I'm looking forward to hearing whether your patient goes ahead with his mail-order stick-on veneers, and if he does, how he likes them.
