Can u advice on how to get the teeth replaced and its cost and time?

Monday, August 31st, 2009
Q.
Hi. For some time i have been embarrassed by 6 bottom teeth and 6 top teeth, I would really like to have these 12 teeth taken out and replaced if possible with 12 new white and perfectly straight veneers. My question is how much would this treatment cost? My other question is the estimated time this treatment would take? As I am currently at college and cannot afford to miss to much time out on my education is there any chance that this treatment would be able to be done quite quickly or the overall time limit reduced. Really appreciate the help/advice. Many thanks.
