cosmetic dentistry16 I need veneers on my top 6 teeth?
Nicole B asked:

I have tooth decay and such and I was told $6,000 for the 6 veneers. I’m too young to get dentures LOL and I can’t really afford the $6 grand for my teeth! I do have dental insurance but I don’t think they cover cosmetic dentistry. Are there any other options? I live in Canada!!

you can get bonding done but bonding/resin is not as shiny as porcelain. it will have a dull lifeless appearance compared to glazed porcelain veneers. also resin will pick up stain more so than porcelain veneers. But resin veneers can be done in the office inexpensively and you do not need to come back for a second appointment like porcelain veneers.

FYI,
although porcelain veneers are the nicest, these are the most expensive and no insurance will pay for elective cosmetic work.
Resin bonding is a wiser alternative.
