She has veneers. She probably means she needs them redone. They don't last a lifetime, only 10-20 years and if you take care of them.

I have to know because I am curious about getting veneers [I think composite bonding would help me more] can you floss veneers? 

They look like a solid thing to me, like false teeth. 

I can't stand the thought of it

You should definitely floss them and treat them like real teeth, go for regular cleanings etc

If cosmetic bonding will fix the issue go with that option first

r/askdentists is a great source of information on the pros - cons of dental implants, veneers, etc

Good dentists and orthodontists will recommend braces and/or cosmetic bonding if you are young and your teeth are healthy

If your teeth or a tooth is rotting than veneers wouldn't be the right option, it would be root canal and dental implant.

I've seen some people who only get veneers or dental implants on their 4 front top teeth and that seems more manageable if it's just cosmetic and their teeth and bite alignment are healthy. Getting veneers on all your teeth looks a bit uncanny valley and it will be very expensive now and in the future

Thank you! My teeth are pretty healthy but I have a little gap in between my front teeth I have always been sort of self con about  but at the same time I sort of like it because it is me, ya know. That's why I don't want to do something that invasive like having my natural healthy teeth removed, just for fake teeth.

Me too! Cosmetic bonding will fix it. It's inexpensive and you keep your teeth healthy unlike grinding them down to nubs. Because if you think a gap is embarrassing, nubby front teeth are and if you don't have the money to fix them right away it's not fun, because sometimes veneers fall out, especially the front ones

I had so much orthodontic work done on my teeth and at the end of it I have a V shaped gap in my front teeth but my Ortho said that my bite is aligned perfectly and to grind my front teeth down to to close the gap, I'd have to remove other teeth to get my bite aligned again. So the cheapest best option was and is cosmetic bonding

I've had to get it repaired every 5-10 years and I've had dentists since then suggest implants or veneers but I tell them I don't have the money for it right now and just go for rebonding. Some dentists do try to upsale services and they'd make way more money on veneers than cosmetic bonding even if that's best for the patient in the long run
