A Dental veneer is a shell or layer of white colored porcelain or composite that is placed over the facial surfaces of your teeth to correct worn out tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment and spacing, discoloration, and chips or cracks. Although there is some functionality to veneers to protect your teeth, they are considered to be classified as cosmetic dentistry because they create bright, white smiles with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. If someone is interested in veneers, Spring Hill residents should know that although beautiful, it is not the cheapest fix.
How Expensive are veneers?
The price of veneers can vary greatly depending on the material it is made out of. Porcelain veneers tend to be more expensive to their composite resin alternatives by about six hundred to a thousand dollars! Porcelain veneers will cost a patient anywhere from nine hundred dollars to twenty five hundred dollars per tooth, but the veneer can last ten to fifteen year if they are taken care of properly. If price is an issue, a patient can opt for composite resin veneers. Spring Hill residents can pay approximately two hundred to fifteen hundred dollars, making their veneers last five or seven years.
How are these fees calculated? Can my Insurance pay for it?
Unfortunately, because veneers are labels as a cosmetic procedure, many insurance companies will not typically cover this procedure. Patients will have to pay out of pocket for a whiter and brighter smile. Pricing is also influenced a lot by the location of the practice and what metropolitan areas if any they are serving. The number of teeth being treated also affects the price patients will have to pay; like a lot of products, buying in bulk helps you save money! To make more affordable options for veneers, Spring Hill residents should speak with their dentist about payments plans and financing options. Many offices know that this procedure is expensive, and want to help their patients have a beautiful, confident smile.
