I have really bad enamel. My teeth are very translucent so I've been thinking about veneers for awhile. I fear they'll look fake and of course I fear the cost. How much am I looking at financially if I'm interested in a full mouth, or maybe just the top?
Answer: Porcelain Veneers or Lumineers
The cost for the dental work that you are considering could range from 20k-70k depending on the number of teeth treated and materials that are utilized for your restorations. Start by researching dentists and only consult with someone that has a stellar reputation in cosmetic dentistry. They should have plenty of before/afters to show you and extensive training at a facility such as The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. You mentioned that you did not want your case to look fake. If this is the case, avoid Lumineers at all costs. They do not compare in strength or aesthetics to the more advanced porcelain materials used today. Lumineers are notorious for looking like fake, white teeth. They frequently can fracture, especially if placed in a patient with a difficult occlusion (bite). More advanced porcelains placed by top cosmetic dentists and lab technicians should give you a beautifully natural result that has people making comments such as " What a gorgeous smile you have!" Lumineers many times have people asking "Who did your veneers?" Which would you rather? :) Hope this helps.

Answer: Fees vary by each office
I can't quote fees for someone else, but you should plan on $35-60,000 for a full mouth reconstruction. Anything less would cause doubt on the ability or experience of the dentist. If you find an experienced dentist, they should not look fake (unless with Lumineers. Those WON'T look real).
Uppers only likely would be about half of that, $20-30,000.

Answer: Budget $40K As you can read here, cost will vary depending on which cosmetic dentist you choose. I highly recommend you focus on the results instead of “how much”. Ask the dentists to see there before and after photos and ask to talk to their previous patients. If they do great work then they will have plenty of previous patients that they can provide for you to talk to. All dentists will claim that they do veneers, remember, not all dentists are equally tranined and has the same experience. And certainly not all of them has an artistic eye.
