Anyway, I am 55 years old now, and went in and had porcelean veneers put on my top front 6 teeth. I cried all the way home because it is the first time in my life I have had white teeth. When I say dark, they were really brown all my life. I sat a total of 4.5 hours in the dentist chair but wouldn't change it for the world. Anyway, to make a long story short, never stop your dreams from happening no matter how long it takes.

They look wonderful! I totally understand how you fell as I had an overlaping front tooth. At 55 I got braces for two years and then had all the front 4 capped. Makes you feel so much better. Now I need to whiten the bottom. Love your smile!
