Cost of Veneers Is Just One Consideration

Dental veneers are a great way to enhance your smile. Veneers, applied to the front of your teeth, can hide discoloration, fill chips and gaps and straighten crooked teeth. If you’re considering veneers, you should examine the cost of veneers, which will vary. In addition to cost, you should also ask other questions, such as what techniques and brands the dentist uses.

There are many options out there, including ultra-thin LUMINEERS. Getting veneers shouldn’t be a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor should the cost determine the type of veneers you decide to get. Low-cost veneers can break or cause damage to your teeth, meaning you’ll end up spending more to get your teeth fixed. When inquiring about veneers, ask your dental professional the following questions:

1. What type of veneer will be used for the procedure? There are composite and porcelain (or ceramic) veneers. Porcelain veneers, such as LUMINEERs, are more durable, lasting up to 20 years with proper dental care. So when you average the cost of veneers, take into consideration how long the veneers will last. For example, 15 years vs. 20 years. So it might make more sense to spend a little more now than to replace the veneers down the road.

2. What is the process? What you’re looking for here is a professional who places veneers on a custom basis. For example, with LUMINEERS, it takes two visits. On the first visit, the dental professional will make a precision mold, or an impression of your teeth. Then, you and your dental professional will choose the right shade for your new, white smile (there are many shades of white). On your second visit, your custom-designed LUMINEERS will be fitted and checked for proper size and shade. If everything gets a green light, the veneers are effortlessly attached.

3. Lastly, find out the cost of the veneers. And go from there.
