Hi...it is spelled "veneer." Think of it as a shell that fits around your real tooth, or the part of it that's left. Sometimes they use porcelain but other synthetics are also used. Dentists vary greatly in what they charge, but on a per tooth basis it maybe $400-500. In some instances, with the special materials they use for biting surfaces, it could go up.... Perhaps less if you are having many done at a time. There are usually three appointments total but the process need not take more than a month. It depends on how much you are doing, of course. You should feel no pain...they will use Novacaine as needed. It is not a really painful process. Full crowns, on the other hand, can be a pretty painful job. Once they are in, you should feel no pain from them at all!! Look under cosmetic dentistry in the yellow pages....some dentists make a practice of this work and I would recommend you go with one that does a lot of this...you're much less likely to have problems that way. |

Too much and they will drill your real, may I say again, real teeth down to nubs, no teeth no more, just nubs. You can get dentures if you like, what is the difference??? You are losing your real teeth. Dumb idea, just a way someone can make money on your vanity. A very strong human condition. See your regular Dentist and ask what he can do to improve your smile. Don't do it. The only teeth we are given and we need to keep them and take of them and improve only if we don't damage our selves. |

Oh, I am the champion of this question. In BILLS I mean. I had to have four of my front teeth done because the enamel was ...very bad. It was $1,000 a tooth. Usually the dentist will take a mold of your teeth or tooth and come back with a plastic one to wear until they make the veneers. They DO file the teeth you want done into little points so the new vaneers can slip right in. It doesn't hurt that much. But the pain in my wallet is still aching. I live in California, and I've heard the BEST and less expensive place to have it done would be in Mexico. |

I recently had Lumineers placed on my six front teeth. Prices can vary, however Lumineers are a little more expensive than traditional veneers. Mine were $1350 each, although Ive seen them advertised a little cheaper.
It is said that Lumineers look more natural than traditional porcelain veneers.
It is a pain free procedure, and very little, if any, tooth structure has to be removed.
After your initial consult, the dentist will take impressions. The impressions are sent to the lab and from there it takes about 2-3 weeks for the final product to be ready.
Also, you will not need to wear temps!
You could also have the dentist make composite veneers, although they would not look as natural or last as long. They would be cheaper, however. |

it is about $600 per tooth.
They file your real teeth down to stubs.
It is essentially painless, but needs to be re-done every 10 years. |

My mothers veneers cost $2800.00 in S. Florida. I hear they could be cheaper in less metropolitian places.
By the way, mom said to tell you that it was painless and they look BEAUTIFUL. Go for the 'natural white' .............. don't do the 'hollywood white'.. it is fake looking. The natural white shade is very white but nobody will know. |

Well, I have to get a couple of crowns, those are 550.00 each, painless, Vaneers, as I understand are better and also painless but are more like 850-1000 each. Crowns go under the gum line, Vaneers do not, they just go to the gum line, I think. Great question |
