Porcelain Veneers are Worth the Price

Veneers have revolutionized the way dentists address common dental issues, such as chipped or missing teeth, stained teeth that are resistant to whitening or crooked teeth.  And if you’ve heard the ads for ordinary veneers that you can get for less money, you may be tempted to skimp and have them installed in your mouth instead of porcelain veneers.  But before you make the leap, Dr. Howard Hoffman would like you to understand just why porcelain veneers cost more, and know what consequences you could face for using the cheaper veneers.

Cheaper Veneers Require Constant Repair

While the upfront costs may be less than porcelain veneers, the repair charges can quickly add up.  That’s because veneers that aren’t made of porcelain tend to crack or even fall off a tooth at a much higher rate than the porcelain ones.  And if you can’t get in right away to have the veneer repaired, it could result in additional damage to the now exposed tooth.

Cheaper Veneers May Not Match Your Teeth

In order for veneers to look natural, they must match the color of your teeth.  And while the porcelain used in porcelain veneers is able to exactly match the shade of your teeth, that’s simply not true for cheaper veneer materials.  Unfortunately, this results in teeth that are more than one shade, and the wearer may be reluctant to smile or show off their veneers because of the imperfection.  Why would you spend money on a solution that can cause additional problems with your smile? 

Don’t Skimp on Porcelain Veneers

When you pay a little more to have porcelain veneers put on your teeth, you won’t have to worry about the issues that plague those people who buy inferior veneers.  Your smile is important, and people who have a great one are more confident in their personal and professional lives.  Don’t be disappointed in yours by skimping on veneers.  Instead, set up an appointment with Dr. Howard today and let him tell you about the benefits of porcelain veneers.
