While a large percentage of movie stars and celebrities still use veneers to achieve the “look” they want, not all of them have dental veneers. Sometimes, a combination of aesthetic services is used for the best overall results.
Why Are Veneers Preferred By Celebrities? Veneers makes it so much easier to have a lasting picture perfect smile. They can be a solution to dental issues like: Broken, chipped, or worn out teeth.

However, you must replace them eventually when you think they are too old or notice damage on them that impacts your smile. As veneers age, they change shape, develop cracks and breaks and cause the gaps to widen.
