    Here in Ontario, veneers are $l000 per tooth so if you have a lot to invest in your mouth I would say go for it because they are lasting and superlative, just choose your dentist well and shop around for a good price.

    I don't know where you are from, but if US possibly cheaper where you are.

    No, there are no better ways other then crowns and bridges and that is a lot of expensive work too and more invasive, more prep, more going back and forth to have everything fitted.

    As tickle has said, veneers are definitely the best way to go if the teeth are not already heavily restored. If they have large fillings in them then the best route would be crowns. You can have a combination of veneers and crowns. Definitely look for a dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry, get references and follow through with calling the references.

    How about saying thanks tick, that would be a big help !Q! Sheldon . Just because I don't have expert after my name doesn't mean a heck of a lot, I choose not to have it.

Veneers vs. Braces and whitening [ 3 Answers ]

Hi there, I'm considering veneers instead of braces and laser whitening.. I'm just too old to be wearing braces, they are embarrassing, and I don't have time for so many doctor's visits. And the whitening, I was told I couldn't do because they have to hold your mouth open and shove stuff in...
