Having a smile that looks its very best is a great way for you to make lasting positive impressions and feel good about yourself. Not everyone is born with such a great smile, however, but that’s where cosmetic dentistry treatments can help. One particular cosmetic dentistry treatment option is very versatile and can give you the smile that you have always wanted. That treatment option is porcelain veneers.
About Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of specially crafted dental ceramic that are designed to conceal imperfections and improve overall appearance of a smile. When in place, porcelain veneers are totally indistinguishable from a person’s natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers are ideal for addressing the following dental problems:
- Teeth that are chipped
- Teeth that are cracked
- Teeth that are discolored or stained
- Teeth that are crooked
The Average Cost of Porcelain Veneers
The average cost of porcelain veneers can actually vary a fair amount based on a number of different factors. Because of this, we do not feel that providing an average cost or even a general price range will be able to communicate the whole story about porcelain veneers treatment.
With this in mind, it’s important that patients visit the practice in person for a consultation. By meeting with our team, we can assess your situation, determine the cost of care, and break it down for you and your needs.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Porcelain Veneers
Some of the factors that affect the cost of porcelain veneers treatment include:
- The location of the dental care center
- The credentials and training of the cosmetic dentists at a practice
- The complexity of a patient’s case
- The need for combined/additional treatments
- Special offers, discounts, or promotions at individual practices
Dental Insurance and Porcelain Veneers
Because porcelain veneers are an aesthetic treatment, they are not covered by dental insurance. It’s still worth asking your insurance provider just in case even though the chances are that you will receive no coverage for care.
Financing Options for Porcelain Veneers
If the total cost of porcelain veneers treatment is prohibitive to you, you’ll be happy to know that there are monthly payment plans available. Our cosmetic dentistry center partners with trusted lending institutions who can help pay for the cost of various dental procedures. The arrangement will be much like a traditional loan or a credit card. The patient will be responsible for paying back the lender on a monthly basis. A reasonable interest rate will apply to the total amount.
Weighing All of Your Options
Making the right decision regarding porcelain veneers treatment is important. We will be sure to go over all of your payment and treatment options in great detail so that you can get the dental care that you need to look your very best.
