cost of veneers

The cost of Porcelain Veneers can vary a lot depending on the quality of the material, the skill of the practitioner doing it and how complicated the restoration is. If you are shopping around you may hear prices that range as low as $1,000 per tooth or as high as $2,800 per tooth in different parts of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, CA. You may also hear that some dentists only want you to do 4, 6 or 8 veneers to keep your smile consistent.

Another important factor is that dental insurance does NOT cover cosmetic procedures, which includes such services as teeth veneers and dental implants.

Here are few things to keep in mind when choosing a cosmetic dentist for this kind of work:

1) A very low cost for a veneer can be a sign that the material is lower in quality and will not last as long as it could. Properly done veneers should last you for many, many years to come and should look beautiful and natural. This is an important point to consider when selecting a dentist for veneers.

2) The skill of the practitioner is also an important factor to consider. Many dentists have trained in weekend courses to learn basic skills for placing veneers. There is a difference between this type of dentist and someone with 20 or more years of experience and thousands of smile makeovers to their credit.

3) Consider the value of the work to you and your life. Having a smile you can be proud of can give you a renewed confidence in yourself and your appearance. People are likely to consider that you are more attractive, younger-looking, and even smarter or more successful because you have taken excellent care of your smile. Our patients often view a smile makeover as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And we do too.

If you are interested in veneers, the best thing to do is to see a qualified cosmetic specialist to find out what can be done to achieve the look you want and then work out the best way to get there. Dr. Maddahi considers the unique needs of each of his patients. In some cases, putting on one or two veneers and whitening the remaining teeth is enough provide a complete visual transformation. Sometimes more work is needed, but that is entirely up to you.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi's office also has financing available for cosmetic work, which makes it possible for even more of our patients to get the smiles they want.
