literally saying this as a hater of both veneers and plastic surgery but the reason you think those procedures "always look bad" is because when they're done well you can't tell they were done at all. survivorship bias or whatever

#like there absolutely are people out there with gorgeous natural-looking veneers i literally treated one today #but the thing is unless you're their dentist you can't tell they have veneers. because they're natural-looking.#the rise in super white super straight super square veneers is literally just a trend that's not what veneers *have* to look like #and tbh i can promise you a lot of dentists (or at least the dentists i've studied under) fuckin' hate that look too #but if that's what patients want they're gonna find a way to get it #anyway the line between 'cosmetic' and 'necessary' in dentistry is blurry bc dentistry inherently has cosmetic qualities #and also the cosmetics of your smile have such an extreme impact on your social development and quality of life #again i'm not a fan of veneers and there are very few situations where i'd recommend them #but it's not as black-and-white as 'veneers ugly and bad'
