now 2006 prices for veneers is pretty high, what will the prices be when the time comes they need replacing? the same or considerably lower?





99% things you buy in the world prices always come 'down', i hope thats the case for dentistry materials.

Veneers (15 years down the line)?
I seriously doubt that the price will come down, even in relative terms. Veneers are 100% hand-crafted. The dentist does his/her thing in your mouth and then a dental lab technician takes it from there. I do not envision any mass-production for veneers, which is what brings the price of other items down.
Reply:Trust a 32 year dental tech. They will only go higher. Dentists will not lower their prices and dental labs are already cutting the prices close to the bone. Although the life expectancy of veneers is 15 yrs., if you have veneers that do not fit well, they will fall out sooner or break. Make sure that you have a dentist that has a lot of these under his belt and that the work is being done here in the US. Also stipulate that a "Pressable" ceramic is to be used. They are tougher than the old build up technique. And they look better. If you call a dental lab in your area they can guide you to a good dentist. And also guide you away from a bad dentist.
Reply:I agree with Dr. Sam! Veneers, along with most dental/medical procedures usually do not come down in price. Buying veneers is not like buying a plasma screen TV. Unfortunately, dentists have to periodically raise their fees to compensate for inflation and increases in costs of the materials that we use. Unfortunately when you deal with hand crafted restorations like crowns and veneers, they are costly especially if they are done well! My advice to you is not to worry too much about what the costs may be in the future! If you decide to get them, make sure that you do your best to maintain them (ie. regular dental visits, wearing a mouth guard at night to protect them) to ensure that you get the longest life out of them!
Reply:prices for dental treatments, materails will not go down, the problem lies with insurance companies and they are not getting with the times. You may also want to look into Lumineers, the are as thin as a contact lens and can be place over existing dental work such as crown and bridges. there is no need to remove any tooth material, preppong the tooth is easier
