Question on porcelain veneers?
If you have two "fake" teeth already, it sounds like the teeth are already crowned. These teeth can't be changed to veneers, they would need to be replaced with new crowns. (Veneeers are facings, crowns encopass the entire tooth) Are you sure your dentist didn't mention porcelain crowns?


Either way, veneers or crowns can be expensive, in our area $850.00-$1200.00 a piece and no they don't usually accept a payment plan, but they do accept major credit cards.
Reply:If you have 2 fake front teeth then you probably have 2 crowns. You cannot take off the crowns and do veneers. It is just not possible. I would get a second opinion from another dentist if I were you! If you only have fillings on the teeth then veneers would be a great option. You can have them shaped how you want them. Just make sure that you look at them before the dentist bonds them on to see if you like them. If you don't, then have them remade until you like them.





In our office we charge $1100 per veneer, so they are expensive, and most insurance companies will not pay for them because they are considered cosmetic. Have the billing person in the office do a pre-authorization for you. Once that comes back you can talk to the dentist about payment options. Most are open to monthly payments. If he is not, check into Care Credit.
