If you’re thinking about improving your smile with dental veneers, you probably have a lot of questions. These custom-made porcelain shells can effectively transform a smile, but are they right for you? The professional team at Dental Clinic of Onalaska, with offices in Onalaska and Trempealeau, WI, explains the pros and cons of veneers below. 

Pros of Veneers

Veneers can correct several aspects of your smile. First, they can improve the color of your teeth. The porcelain material is mostly stain resistant, so you don’t have to worry about future discoloration. Veneers also correct the shape and size of teeth, giving you a more symmetrical smile by filling in the gaps. In some cases, they can even correct misaligned teeth. Perhaps the biggest advantage of veneers is they provide patients with an attractive, natural-looking smile, which can lead to a boost in self-confidence.

Cons of Veneers

One of the main cons patients cite is the cost of porcelain veneers. While the price varies depending on your location, dentist, and dental health, one survey found the average cost of a single veneer was over $1,200. If you’re getting more than one veneer, this will add up quickly. Also, some people are hesitant to get veneers because they are generally considered a permanent procedure. There’s no going back to your natural teeth if you don’t like how the veneers look.
