I want to improve my smile and have heard a lot about porcelain veneers. Do I need to have the cavities on my front teeth near the gum line fixed first? Will veneers help my other dental problems?

Sarah,
If you have cavities they should be taken care of before getting porcelain veneers. Veneers can then be placed over those fillings.
Porcelain veneers can help with many dental problems. You need to address underlying issues of decay first. Then veneers can make crooked teeth seem straight, make your teeth whiter or longer, shorter or whatever you would like.
