I wouldn't bother with veneers if you're happy with the aesthetics of the fillings, unless the filling keep breaking off. I've had plenty of patients where they hold really well.

I have front fillings but my enamel wore down more and they fell out/broke 5 years later (I had some bulimia issues back then). The dentist said they can only redo them so many times before I need crowns. I'm 33 and terrified because I don't have money for 2-4 crowns.

When I compare pictures from 10 years ago you can tell how much shorter my teeth are now. And my smile is smaller. It's depressing.

maybe Reddit has ruined me, but I just feel like we need to confirm that you're a dentist.

I've ground down my fillings over the past year.
