It seems to me that the article contradicts itself. "Composite veneers are becoming more popular as they are easy to repair, and porcelain veneers have a tendency to fracture," suggests that porcelain veneers are less durable than composites, while "They [porcelain veneers] are said to be somewhat more durable and less likely to stain than veneers made of composite," suggests that porcelain veneers are more durable. --Weeble 19:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hilary Duff
So did Hilary get veneers or what? Cuz a little while ago there was that rumour, and now I'm going on Perez Hilton and a ton of people commented saying stuff like, "Oh yeah. She looks so much better now that she got the veneers taken off" so did she ever confirm it or what? --DancexwithxmexXx 17:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No drilling-needed veneers
SamG1978 has placed this edit:
- Newer veneer products have been developed so that no drilling or filing is required. This is preferable as it means less pain and minimal damage to the patient's underlying tooth.[1]
I reverted it for two reasons. First, the reference used is clearly advertising to NuSmile. WP:EL says to avoid "Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising" and "Lists of links to manufacturers, suppliers or customers." Second, no-drilling veneers is not always "preferable". In fact, in many cases, they are much worse than traditional veneers because without recontouring the teeth the resulting veneers are bulky and not esthetically pleasing. In some cases, the no-drilling veneers are acceptable, but the text did not make the distinction clear. Unless someone objects, I will revert the change tomorrow. - Dozenist talk 11:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I take your point re: the pros and cons of drilling free veneers however the text should definitely have some reference to the fact that such systems are available and that the modern systems are as thin as possible. What would you suggest (Perhaps you could add some pors and cons) because just reverting the text means the article is somewhat innacurate. Many thanks for getting back to me. Thank you for your time. SamG1978 (talk) 11:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- I will see what I can write up when I get some time later today, but so you have no objection to removing the external link as well, correct? - Dozenist talk 12:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
It'll need a reference to something as a citation but sure. As long as the text reflects the existance of the none-drilled systems. SamG1978 (talk) 13:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
