Question 1

How much do porcelain veneers cost?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain veneers cost $1,000–$3,000 per tooth, with most smile makeovers covering six to ten teeth ($8,000–$25,000 total). Composite veneers are a more affordable option at $300–$800 per tooth but don't last as long.

Question 2

How long do veneers last?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain veneers last 10–20 years with proper care. Composite veneers last 5–7 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, grinding habits, and diet. Many patients find the investment worthwhile for the dramatic improvement in their smile.

Question 3

Does teeth whitening damage enamel?

Accepted Answer

Professional whitening supervised by a dentist is safe for enamel. Temporary sensitivity is common. Over-the-counter products used excessively can cause enamel erosion. Professional treatments offer better results with less risk.

Question 4

What's the difference between veneers and crowns?

Accepted Answer

Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth and require less tooth reduction. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used when more structural support is needed. Veneers are primarily cosmetic; crowns serve both cosmetic and functional purposes.
