Paging @Dentist or others with personal experience.
I did find one other thread where Dentist was talking veneers but it was years ago and didn’t apply exactly.
I have a chipped front tooth. When this happened my dentist said he could fix it but it could happen again due to misalignment, etc. So I decided to get braces at age 50 and do it right with a plan for veneers later.
Now it’s 2+ years later; the braces are off and everything looks great. It’s time to fix the tooth.
1) Is doing porcelain veneers on just the front two teeth okay cosmetically, or will the color difference be obvious? How about over the years ahead?
2) My dentist is saying if I do all six top front teeth they will all be the same color but if I do only two or four now and more are done later it will be harder to match color.
3) He’s quoting his usual crown cost, which is $1,350 per tooth. Are veneers usually less than crowns or since it’s the same process, same price?
Thoughts on best course of action for the long-term?
