So I don’t have veneers, but my fiancé is a dentist so I’ve heard lots and lots of veneer stories (good and bad!). Make sure to do your research on the dentist and ask if you can talk to prior patients or see examples.
Also, is this for cosmetic reasons like discoloration? If so, I’d recommend looking into other procedures before. Once you commit to veneers, it’s a lifelong commitment. They have to remove some of your tooth’s enamel in order to fit the veneers on top, so you will always need veneers.
Pro
Yes and yes. They look natural but my teeth were lovely before - got sold a line that they’d hardly take enamel off and it they grind your teeth down to nubs. I was young and trying to replace teeth and got sold a bill of goods I regret.

I had a buddy do it. It looks like what it is - a fake smile, with all the jokes about needing sunglasses that go with it. Personally I’d go with more conventional cosmetic dentistry (Invisalign, professional whitening etc.) and regular hygienist visits as well as better home care before permanently ruining my teeth this way unless you have a seriously bad starting point. Viewpoints may differ across the Atlantic but in Europe people are slightly taken aback by porcelain bright white teeth.
I had to get veneers after I got my lights punched out. Very happy to have them. They were matched to the shade of surrounding surviving teeth so they look just like a normal coffee-drinker's smile. I'd rather have my real teeth though.
