Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Mor information is needed to decide if porcelain veneers alone can resolve your concerns. Another issue to consider is the shape of the gums. Are they symmetrical? Do too much of the gums show? Are the levels in appropriate places? Are the gums healthy? etc. The fee qouted below is for veneers only. Good luck in your efforts to decide.

I am very intrigued by your request for porcelain veneers, and I can understand your desire to maximize your dollar. Many people take a similar step to what you are doing in comparing prices. What is really difficult is to put a price tag on the service that you are expecting to get as a patient. As the previous doctor has mentioned, there are many things which should be considered, including the shape of your tissue in the area. After getting a thorough understanding of what it is you are wanting as your final result I would be happy to provide a customized treatment proposal, including a price. Additionally, I don't mind offering a second opinion, or discussing your desired results further. For an involved case such as yours, I will likely figure the fee as a total cost for treatment and time in the office, not a per unit price. Please know that there are many ways to accomplish your treatment, and many materials available, and not all Dentists are the same. Make sure you are comfortable with your choices and that whoever you see understads what it is you want, not what they want you to have. Thanks for your question.

Cost Estimate: $$750/tooth following diagnostic work
The going rate is around $700 per tooth in Salt Lake. I find very few situations especially following braces that need 20 veneers to look great. That being said there are definately exceptions.
