Preparation of the tooth for veneer bonding requires 'conservative' removal of the enamel.
The problem is that loss of enamel is permanent, and the more you lose enamel, the more the tooth is vulnerable to developing further damage.
Bonding is NOT perfect, or permanent. This is because the mouth is almost always a moist environment (under normal circumstances), and no kind of resin based adhesive retains bond strength permanently in a moist environment.
Don't forget that teeth also undergo repeated cycles of pressure throughout life, which puts additional strain on resin adhesive.
It really comes down to: are you willing to harm yourself for superficial appearance?
If you are, you have an IQ of a female or a subhuman.
Getting veneers is a good way to prove yourself as one.
