Price for Veneers

Basically, you get what you pay for. If someone can do veneers for $599 per tooth I would be leery about the quality of the lab - a top notch ceramic lab will bill close to that. The dentist's training and skill and your geographical area accounts for the rest...

Why Such a Huge Price Variation For Porcelain Veneers By Two Different Dentists?

Many factors in fees

The first fee you quote is very nearly the lab fee from a talented ceramic lab, so I can only assume the low fee means the dentist is doing the lab work themselves or sending to a lab in Costa Rica or similar. Extremely low fees also reflect the care, skill and judgement of the dentist and may indicate very little training or experience with... more
