Affordable veneers
Veneers are a great way to improve the appearance of your smile. They disguise a multitude of sins and last a good while.
However, what stops people from making the plunge is the cost. Many people insecure about their teeth are living with low self-esteem and hiding their smiles as a result.
Finding an affordable option for dental veneers can seem like a daunting task. However, there are steps you can take to ensure you enhance your smile at a price that won't break the bank.
Here are some ways you can save money when thinking about dental veneers, including some alternative measures that can keep your wallet happy.
Choose Composite-Resin Over Porcelain
When you’re in the consultation process for dental veneers, your dentist will recommend either composite resin or porcelain veneers. But, ultimately, the decision is up to you.
Composite is a much cheaper material, but it is far less durable and stain-resistant than porcelain, with a considerably shorter lifespan.
However, porcelain veneers involve a more complex process that requires a small amount of enamel to be removed, making the procedure irreversible. Additionally, while composite resin veneers can be fitted and refined in a single sitting, porcelain veneers require multiple visits and impressions, meaning you could be waiting months for your new smile.

Do you need veneers on all your teeth?
Many patients who struggle with their teeth think they need to get their full smile restored, but this isn’t the case.
Can you get away with refreshing the front few teeth?
Or is it the odd single tooth that could do with a veneer?
Only fixing the teeth with visible damage can greatly reduce the cost, as dentists tend to charge per tooth. However, some practices choose to offer a discount if you get a certain number of veneers, so it’s worth requesting quotes from multiple practices before you make a decision.
Consider a different location
If you’re thinking about undergoing a cosmetic dental treatment, it’s important to look at pricing in different areas.
Dental clinics in big cities will probably cost more than your local practice. However, it’s more important to check that the procedure will be carried out by an experienced professional who will be able to do it correctly the first time, so you won’t have to worry about repairs or replacements in the near future.
What’s the alternative?
If cost is an issue, or you simply don’t want to endure lengthy (and sometimes painful) dental procedures, why not consider instasmile snap-on veneers?
Not only are they more affordable, but they’re equally as - if not more - effective as dental veneers. They cover up a range of dental insecurities, including discoloration, chips, missing teeth, and misalignment.
