Thanks.

But do most dentists do this? And how much does it cost, roughly?

I'd love to get four percelain veneers across my top, front four teeth. Although only three of them could really benefit from them, I'd rather have them all to be of a stable color. But they're expensive. If porcelain veneers cost about $600, that's going to be $2,400, which cannot be done. :(

The tooth that has it rather severe will need something done to it anyway because of the wear. It's almost looks like a peg lateral, but it's only on one side of the tooth. On that side, the top of it is the actual width it should be.

Thanks again.
