Dont pay more then $1000.00 tops. I dont know where anyone is getting 20-30 grand from. Its not painful, they numb you up and they are meant to last a lifetime. They look great. Well worth the money, but like I said, not 20-30 grand. Call around and get pricing and you'll see.

Porcelain vaneers are pretty expensive. There is not much pain involved, just discomfort when they put them on. The after product comes out very beautiful!
If your teeth are really bad, you may want to think about getting a bridge done.

Cost: mine cost 1,300 per tooth
Pain: not much as they numb you very well first or you can choose to have (and pay) for oral sedatives where you'll feel nothing at all
Alternatives: bonding (but don't look as real, stain in about a year or two, and aren't as strong so you need to watch what/how you eat with them).
As far as being rich to get them: yes, they are expensive. but you can get a payment plan like i did and not everyone needs to get thier whole mouth done!! alot of folks just get thier front 8 or 10 done and it is all they need. some get 1. and for those that get the whole mouth, that'd cost alot more than 20k anyway.....probably closer to 30k.
Do they look good? YES YES YES. AND they make it more flexible for the dentist to change the actual shape and placement of your teeth due to the "preparing" of the teeth.
I highly recommend them and they look fantastic. SOOO real and not at ALL fake.

Don't listen to ggirl, she doesn't know what she's talking about. My son has them. He had really tiny teeth with big gaps between them. He had these veneers put on and looks great. They did nothing to his teeth. they are cemented to the fronts of them. They were done as more of a favor and only cost him $500.00. He's never had a problem with them and he's had them for about 10 years. Unless he gets hit really hard in the mouth, hard enough to pop one off, they are supposed to last his whole life.

they are expensive, probably 20K. they take molds of your teeth and make them into fake teeth. then they file down all your real teeth to little nubby points and put the fake ones over them. they look completely real, but they only last about 10 years and you have to re-do them. that's why only the celebrities and rich people can afford them.
