Got my implants about a year ago, double e and loving life.
Edit - Actually come to think of it yes I do, got a brick chucked at my head when I was about 8, destroyed most of one of my front teeth. Literally don't know its there till people mention it or I am talking about (like now). But yeah most people don't believe me till I show them the back and people even then just say you just have a metal plate on the back of your tooth lol.
No idea what they use to put it on, was a green sorta paste substance from what I can remember but it hasn't budged.

Not got any but have done plenty and can tell you veneers can be a real hassle, if you've got the need/funds I'd go with either a post crown or implant although the implant is more likely to stay put for a lot longer and also reduces bone loss but they do come with a nice price tag.

How much are they? Can you get them done by NHS dentists or do they not have the correct materials and services?

Implants aren't available on the NHS and can cost anywhere between £1700 and £2500.
On the nhs you can get crowns,veneers, dentures at the cost of £204 which would include exam,any filling and the lab work.

May I ask why you want implants/veneers in the first place?

Perhaps see what other cosmetic treatments are available as crowns/veneers/implants are rather extreme options imo. All three require the removal of healthy tooth and replacing it with something weaker and more problematic.

Ring your local NHS branch or office and they tell you who and where is taking on... They then put the request in for you and you get a letter from that certain dentist for an appointment
