Porcelain veneers are thin layers that are made to go over your natural teeth. These thin, wafer-like shells cover the outer part of the tooth and are often used to hide imperfections such as discolorations, chips, cracks, worn enamel, gaps and irregularly shaped teeth. Also called laminates, these versatile restorations can hide flaws and perfect your smile.
The cost of laminates can vary depending on your needs. The number of teeth being treated can affect your cost along with the type of restoration and your need or desire for other treatments. Most people choose to have their upper teeth treated, including all the teeth that are visible when they smile. If you display just a few teeth, your costs will be lower than those who display many teeth. Treating lower teeth as well can increase your costs.
Some people also whiten their teeth at the same time. While porcelain can be used to improve the color of your smile, whitening lightens them even more for a dramatic Hollywood smile that can really give you a bright new look.
