Answer 1

veneers go over your teeth and last a very long time but they don't last forever.

full "davinci" veneers were costing about $20,000.00 usd a couple years ago.

a single tooth veneer might be between 400-800 dollars.

i've got some veneers.  they look great, but i only got them because i lost part of my front teeth in an accident.

i don't think i'd ever spend 20K just for fake teeth!

Answer 2

I got veneers two years ago and love them!  They are permanently attached to your real teeth with a special light that doesn't hurt--like false fingernails.

Answer 3

Hi!  Lumineers, like veneers, are a type of cosmetic dentistry designed to not only whiten your teeth, but repair imperfections, straighten and lengthen your teeth, and/or conceal stains or discolored fillings.  I would say they are much better than the regular whitening system because they are stain proof.   Here's some info on both:

Veneers:  are thin shells that bond to teeth. They are permanent, custom made, and require removal of a portion of the tooth to fit the veneer. Pro- they feel more natural. Con- they can't be removed.

Lumineers:  are thinner than the veneers (about the thickness of a contact lense). Your natural tooth does not need to be altered in any way to fit a lumineer. Pro- they can be removed. Con- may feel bulkier than the regular veneers (but you'll get used to it).

Cost wise, Lumineers are definitely not cheap, but I really don't think any kind of cosmetic dentistry is cheap.  So, if you're willing to pay the price, Lumineers are awesome and I'm sure you'll be happy with them.
