In northeast Ohio they cost @ $800-1000.  Definitely get a good referral from someone you trust or has had this kind of work done.  Ask the dentist you choose to see before and after pictures of other patients.  Many dentists have these kind of books.  It is true that your natural teeth are shaped and once you have a veneer placed you will always need to have a veneer or crown on the tooth.  You should consider the cost of eventual replacement.  They definitely can improve your smile and look beautiful if done correctly.  I would get an opinion of an orthodontist before deciding though.  Try and be very clear as to what you dislike about your smile now.  It may be that with braces and possibly bleaching, simple bonding, or even some "reshaping" of your teeth you may be very happy.  Good luck in whatever you decide.

I'm a dentist.\n\nThere is no simple answer to that question, because gaps are caused by different problems.  It could be that your teeth are flared too much, and that causes spacing (of course, that usually causes spacing between multiple front teeth, not just your two central incisors).  It could be that you have too much maxillar arch length and that ALL of your teeth in your upper jaw are too small to use up the arch space.  If it's either of these, then you'll likely need braces, as trying to put bondings on them or veneers to close the gaps would result in front teeth that are abnormally wide....which is unsightly.\n\nIf your two front teeth are just a little too narrow, then bondings will work, but porcelain veneers are better.  They generally look better, are less likely to develop decay underneath, are not prone to staining the way bondings are, and generally last much longer.  They are more expensive, of course.  In my experience, however, the aesthetic superiority of porcelain veneers makes the added cost worth it.\n\nI charge $900 for porcelain veneers per tooth.  $250 for bondings per tooth.

Once upon a time my boss asked me to take apart a $10,000 piece of electronic hardware piece by piece. \n\nWhy you ask? \n\nWell you see it had been slightly scratched by someones watch. He wanted to spray paint the scratched piece. \n\nI warned him that I had hardware made by the same brand and they tended to use interlocking pieces later braced by the circuit boards. But he wanted it painted. So I took all 75 screws out. Wouldn't you know it all the pieces interlocked and were held together by the circuit boards. So he asks me to put it back, then cover it with newspapers except for the offending area so we can spray paint it while together.\n\nAll went well and the machine looked great. I thought. He noticed that there was an area where I had let the tape holding the newspaper down go over into the spray painted area. There was a spot about 3-4 mm thick by 3-4 cm long area that could barely be seen. He told me when we had time we'd fix it.\n\nAll this while I still had to attend to my regular duties.

Veneers are generally not that difficult, most dentists who do them will do them well.\n\nAs long as your dentist isn't a complete loner, they should be able to recommend someone if they can't do it in their office.

Do you mean other than waiting a couple hours?\n\nNope.\n\nI had a bunch of fillings (before I was a dentist!) right before a dress rehearsal for a (I'm not making this up) High School Musical.  Well, as the lead trumpet part, and unable to move half my lips, I can tell you, that was a bit tricky.\n\nGood luck!

The ideal way?\nSand them/prime using a high adhesion primer/paint with melamine paint.

Yes, you would be amazed at the technology.  I had most of one of my front teeth knocked out.  My dentist did a repair, not replacement, and the last one he did has lasted a decade.  I eat everything I always have.

i had some real nice work done in south east asia. fillings extractions, root canal, post and cap. all very .. i mean VERY cheap...of coures there was no anesthetic and their offices were as clean as a barn...but the work was great...and fast. i'll never go to an american dentist again! ok i didnt have all this done at once but all together [ 2 different dentist]about 40 dollars us  and one time i got ripped off , it should have been less... this is all true but seriously you can get good safe western style work done in a big city clinic set up for foreigners for about 1/4 of western prices. but ive been happy w/ the back alley work.

I have had lots of work done at a Dental college.  I was happy with the work but, it took longer than a normal dental office and required alot more time and visits.  But remember they are getting graded so they are going to do the best they can and the instructors will check all of their work.  My husband and son both had their braces done at the Dental college and their teeth look great.

Get veneers on your teeth, they can be as perfect as a Movie star then.

Unfortunately the porcelin crowns take a lot of extra work to make so cost much more.  The metal ones are fine, I have one despite initial reservations about it.  I dont think you will find a dentsist that does it within the £189!

It is a lot of work. The easiest would be to bring it to a dental technicians laboratory and have it cleaned. Better not to use this cushioning material, because this covers up the real problem either a bad fitting denture or changes in the bone/ gum that need to be checked by a dentist.

Yep. It can be done.\nThere are prostheses (artificial replacements) available for the same and u can get them done from either a Prosthodontist or an Oral Surgeon.

I think you have to go to a cosmetic dentist to have it done.
