Bioclear matrix costs - $5000-$15,000 ... is this the normal? Told this at consult today. (photo)

BioClear is considered a conservative and less expensive option than porcelain veneers.  Porcelain veneers should cost an average of $12,000-20,000 per arch.  Bioclear is normally $600-800 per triangle (a triangle treats TWO teeth, so $300-400 per tooth).

There are several methods to close the black triangles between the teeth.1) Bonding - a few ways of doing this but essentially it involves adding resin material (plastic) between the teeth to reshape them make them wider at the base.  This is what the Bioclear technique is classified under.  Expect to pay about $250+ per tooth for something like this.2) Veneers - uses porcelain material to change the shape of the tooth and make it wider at the base.  Again various techniques and can be used to change shape colour and character of the teeth.  Expect to pay about $1000+ per tooth plus lab costs.3) Orthodontics - Since teeth are triangular one can make them less triangular and push teeth closer together, this sometimes minimizes the size of the black triangle.Bottom line, personally, paying for 5-15,000 for bonding may be a bit too much unless doing the whole mouth.  Hope this helps.
