Is there an acceptable alternate porcelain veneer to Lumineers?

$800 to $1200 per tooth is not affordable! Doesn't Lumineer have any competitors?

Is there an acceptable alternate porcelain veneer to Lumineers?
There are several veneers on the market, and many besides Lumineers that dont require tooth reduction. Just about every major dental lab makes them. Lumineers are well known because of TV and Dr. Dorfman (He did the makeovers on the Extreme Makeover show on ABC) Prepare to pay $300 to $1500 per tooth depending on brand and geographic location. My office does Lumineers and five other brands. We charge $600 per tooth to cover the costs and to have a profit as well on the Lumineer. Actual cost of the Lumineer for the dentist (counting the lab fee and materials used, and assistant man hours and for the glue) is about $420 per tooth.


Lumineers are not necessarily the best on the market, you need to take into account your situation (ie what you want to change about your smile and how your teeth line up, and what exactly you want to cover up) You may want to have a little tooth reduction and a different kind of veneer to achieve your desired results.
Reply:There are a lot of different acceptable porcelain veneers that are not Lumineers. But $800-$1200 a tooth is what you should expect to pay for any of them, they are considered a cosmetic procedure so you are going to pay more. Sorry
Reply:its movie star pricing. if u r not one, u prolly dont need it.
Reply:Lumineers, by brand, may be cheaper than traditional veneers, because the manufacturer states that they do not need any tooth preparation prior to making them. Less time = less cost.
