I have not had it done myself, but i see it done on a daily basis as i am a dental nurse.
There are 2 kinds of veneers, porcelain and composite!
Porcelain veneers require the dentist to take an impression of your teeth, this impression is then sent to an outside lab (my practice use an outside lab, others may have their own lab on site) the veneers are made and are fitted about a week and a half later.
The composite veneers are made chair side by the dentist (not sure if this is a common procedure in every surgery but my dentist makes his own), this simply requires the dentist to roughen the surface of the tooth, and then add composite material- this is the material used for white fillings, and hey presto you have lovely new veneers in about 45 minutes.
Either kind of veneer is equally as good as the other, the only advantage I'd say about the composites is, if you chip a piece off you only need to return to the surgery and the dentist can replace the chip there and then, with porcelain veneers you cant do that and the whole thing has to be remade!
Go for it, you have nothing to fear, it's painless and they look great.
Good luck and Happy smiling!!!

I had just gotten my braces off a week before school started. Both of my two front teeth were chipped. So the first thing that the dentist did was put on a temp. bond. After two months we figured out that it was yellowing to quickly. So they said that I needed to get veneers. I was supposed to get them when I was 18 but I guess not. The process of putting them on was really quite easy and quick. It didn't hurt at all. Just be sure that when you get your mold mad and the color of them picked out that your teeth are the whitest that they can be. If they are when you get your color picked out for your veneers, they will pick a whiter color to match your teeth color. I hope my answer answers your question. Best of luck.

Had mine done years ago, before it was fashionable!
If it didn't hurt in the 1980s I sure as hell won't hurt now!

Many of my clients have come to me for my specialist advice on this subject. Mostly I advise them to go ahead with this procedure, but if you suffer from back pain, no back pain, greying of hair, blonding of hair, longness of fingernails, shortness of fingernails or normalness of fingernails then you must have an all over 'Nurse Nancy Super Dooper Hypodermic Jab', to numb the pain.
