Sure, that’s obviously true, but misses my point; on average, European teeth are less healthy than American teeth. At the same time, American teeth tend to have too much work done on them on average.

Both of these things can be true simultaneously.

Worse, a veneer decorated mouth is a maimed mouth, whose healthy tissues were destroyed.

Veneers don't last forever, they will require lifetime commitment.

Losing your teeth is also a lifetime commitment.
