What are the pros and cons?
§ Every dental procedure comes with a list of pros and cons. Here are my
thoughts on porcelain veneers:
§ Pros: Porcelain veneers are very natural looking. They are permanently
glued to your teeth so you don’t have to take them in and out of your
mouth under any circumstances. Porcelain veneers are also naturally
stain-resistant, so unlike with your tooth’s own enamel you won’t have to
worry about coffee, nicotine or tea stains. If properly cared for, veneers
can last over a dozen years without complications, making them
extremely durable and a good investment. Finally, veneers are one of the
quickest options for transforming your smile.

§
Cons: Because veneers oftentimes require removing the tooth’s enamel, this
procedure is irreversible. Once the enamel is removed, the tooth has been forever
altered. Veneers are a costly investment compared to other smile makeover
procedures. If you have a restricted budget, this may not be the option for you. If
your veneers are not properly cared for, decay can form underneath them, they can
chip, or even pop off of your teeth and then need them to be replaced at an
additional fee.
How long does the procedure take?
§ Your porcelain veneers will require two visits after your initial consultation.
Depending on the dental lab that your dentist uses, your veneers can be made
in 5-14 business days. If you really need an instant smile makeover for a
special occasion, some labs can even make them

How much will it cost?
§
Porcelain veneers will typically cost between $1,000 and $2,000 per tooth. The fees
will vary depending on what region of the country you live as well as how skilled your
cosmetic dentist is. Cheaper veneers are usually provided by dentists that are not using
top notch dental labs/ceramists to make the veneers or dentists who are not as skilled.
Will insurance cover this procedure?
§
Porcelain veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure that is generally not covered by
dental insurance. However, if your teeth have been affected by a medical circumstance
such as taking certain antibiotics like tetracycline that stain your teeth or if you’ve
suffered a severe accident, your dentist may be able to submit a letter with the history
of your medical circumstance along with photos to attempt to get partial coverage.

How long will it last?
§ With normal wear and tear, your porcelain veneers can last between 15 to
20 years. Certain dental labs and cosmetic dentists stand behind their
work and will offer a lifetime warranty. Ask your dentist if they offer a
warranty to make sure that you get more bang for your buck.
§
A-List Advice:
§ Unsure if veneers are right for you? Ask your doctor for before and after
pictures of their work. Make sure that you like the “veneer effect” before
agreeing to the procedure.
