Thanks. It's my front teeth that come together 'perfectly' and they have
some visible wear and tear, and enamel erosion throughout. As for age, I was at VT in the "Late 80's".
One follow up question. Do veneers give any protection? What 15 minutes of research I did seemed to say it was a cosmetic benefit - "Let's give you a great smile!!" - more than really providing protection.
And yes, the primary dentist is recommending veneers as well.
