I really wanted to get porcelain veneers, but am not sure it will do any good if I can only get it on the top arch. My dentist quoted me for both arches, but I can’t afford that. I figure that the top arch is the most obvious, but they’ll look fake if my bottom teeth are all dark and crooked.

Hilliary,
Unless your bottom teeth are in very bad shape, most dentists will only put porcelain veneers on your top arch. Then they’ll use teeth whitening to match the bottom arch’s color to your new veneers.
If your teeth are really bad on the bottom, the whitening will mask the problem until you can afford another arch. Believe me, the whitening to match the veneers will make them look a lot better than you realize.
