TikTok users share their worst veneers experience
If you search the term ‘veneers’ on TikTok, a plethora of content related to this viral trend will emerge. With unwavering zeal, people are embracing these potentially irreversible dental procedures in their pursuit of the ‘flawless smile’, frequently leading to grave issues and health risks.
What are veneers?
Dental veneers are a cosmetic treatment that is often promoted as a quick and easy way to improve your smile. It’s a thin moulding, custom-made from porcelain, which is then bonded to the front surface of a tooth. If you read between the lines, it basically means that getting veneers will not strengthen or repair your teeth, but instead weaken them and simply cover them up.
Veneers and crowns, what’s the difference?
Unlike veneers, a dental crown encases the whole tooth, working as a ‘cap’. Dental crowns can be used to rebuild the strength of broken or decayed teeth, to restore the natural shape or size or generally just to improve appearances. Although I’m no dentist, crowns definitely sound like a better option than veneers. Just see for yourself…
In the video below, a young girl shares her experience undergoing teeth-shaving for this particular procedure. Her videos rapidly raised concerns among numerous dental experts, as her teeth appeared to be healthy. Many of these professionals have issued warnings about the potential hazards associated with getting veneers.

No-prep veneers:
In this next clip, we’re shown a woman who’s clearly also had the veneer procedure. However, in this video, a professional dentist explains how the veneers the woman has had fitted are ‘no-prep veneers’. The problem with these is that if you already have quite thick large teeth, then the slip-on veneers will add a bulky layer, resulting in a pretty unappealing aesthetic look.

What are the downsides of having veneers?
In this video, a woman expresses her dissatisfaction with the veneers’ fragility and recounts an incident where one of her teeth unexpectedly chipped while she was eating, revealing the shaved down e teeth underneath.
@wangwife The downside of having veneers is when they randomly pop up when eating and glad I didn’t swallow it! But, the pros outweigh the cons and still don’t regret getting them. #veneers #veneersjourney #veneerscheck #veneers_smile #ReasonForBooking #CODSquadUp #trending #foryoupage #fypシ

Don’t do it if you can’t keep up with them
The woman in the clip sadly explains how you’ll always have to keep up with your veneers since they could crack or chip at any time:

Dentist extracting faulty veneers from a patient
A dentist demonstrates the process of removing ill-fitting veneers from a patient:
@joycethedentist Dentistry Explained Episode 112 | Veneers can leak with decay if they are not cemented into the correct position. Veneer cementation is a technique sensitive process and it is important to go to an experienced cosmetic dentist. Unfortunately these were done only 6 months ago (elsewhere) and are needing to be replaced already. Who wants to see the final result? #veneers #newportbeach #dentist #greenscreenvideo
