Does cost matter in porcelain veneers?

I have been thinking about getting porcelain veneers. I’ve called around to the dentists in my area. They’re all close to the same price, excpet one, who is several thousands dollars less expensive. Is it a different brand he uses that makes them less expensive?

Bethany,

I am going to warn you off of this. While it is possible, though only slightly, that he’s found a brand that is significantly less that the others, I would wonder why it is less. Maybe it is the lab he uses. They may not be as good. Or maybe, that dentist is just learning how to do them. Either way could spell disaster for your new smile.

This is one of those cases where I say not to price shop.  Instead, you want to find the best dentist. That doesn’t mean the most expensive.

Here is my suggestions. Go onto the mynewsmile.com website. See who they recommend for cosmetic dentistry in your area. Anyone recommended on that site has not only the skill and experience, but the artistry necessary to give you a gorgeous smile.
