Many patients come to cosmetic dentist Richard L. Bucher with the desire to improve the overall appearance of their smile. While there are many cosmetic dental treatments that can be performed to correct each individual flaw, only porcelain veneers give Dr. Bucher the ability to correct an array of cosmetic flaws with a single cosmetic treatment. Whether the appearance of your smile has been compromised by discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, poor alignment, or any combination of these problems, porcelain veneers can conceal these flaws and present an attractive, uniform smile.
Costs of Porcelain Veneers
It is perfectly understandable that many of our New Jersey patients must weigh porcelain veneers costs against the benefits that veneers have to offer. As with any dental treatment, the cost of porcelain veneers will vary by treatment. Some of the factors that affect the final cost of veneers include the number of veneers that will be placed, the material that the veneers will be composed of, and the experience of the dentist applying the veneers. With all of these costs taken into consideration, it is true that porcelain veneers are one of the more costly cosmetic treatments. However, patients must also take into account the overall improvement that is made to the smile and the combination of dental treatments that would need to be combined in order to produce similar results. For instance, the average cost of porcelain veneers is around $1,500 per tooth. This may sound like quite an expense, but dental veneers can produce the aesthetic results of teeth whitening, dental bonding, dental crowns, and even orthodontics.
Payment Options
Because porcelain veneers are somewhat costly, most patients need to consider payment options for covering the expense. Fortunately, as the practice of cosmetic dentistry has grown, so too has medical financing. There are many companies who offer loans and credit cards that can be solely used to cover medical and dental expenses. These are an excellent option for patients who are considering porcelain veneers treatment. Personal loans and credit cards are also an option to consider. When considering payment options for porcelain veneers, be sure to ask the following questions in order to be sure that you are getting a loan or payment plan that works best for you and fits within your budget:
- • Will a down payment be required?
- • What will my interest rate be and will it be set or will it fluctuate?
- • What will my monthly payment be?
- • Will there be late payment fees or any other penalties?
- • When will my loan be paid off?
With the right terms, the price of porcelain veneers can be made to fit within just about any budget.
