At Costa Rica Dental Team, we know that many of our patients are worried about the prices of dental care in their own countries. That’s why we offer competitive prices in addition to providing high-quality service and care.

With rising prices for dental care, even simple dental procedures can be expensive in relation to people’s incomes. Let’s take, for example, porcelain veneers, a procedure that’s considered relatively easy to perform.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers have several advantages over other types of veneers in terms of durability and natural looks. Because of the procedure involved in creating them, they are more expensive than composite or other types of veneers.

Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Veneers – Cost Differences

In the United States, the prices of dental care vary greatly from region to region and from dentist to dentist. This makes it hard to find an average price. However, for composite veneers, expect to pay between $250 and $1,500 dollars per tooth. In contrast, porcelain veneers will cost between $950 and $2,500 dollars. (Dentists in urban areas will tend to charge more.) As you can see, the difference between prices is quite significant.

Why Porcelain Veneers Cost More

Obviously, the difference in price between composite and porcelain veneers means that some people will go for composite veneers instead of porcelain simply because of the price. Fortunately, with the Costa Rica Dental Team, patients don’t have to choose the lesser option anymore. We offer porcelain veneers in Costa Rica at affordable prices.

Benefits of Choosing Porcelain Veneers

You really want the best veneers you can get because:

  • Porcelain veneers last much longer. Composite veneers need to be replaced every 5 years, whereas porcelain veneers last from 10 to 15 years.
  • Porcelain veneers don’t change color over time, as some composite veneers do.
  • Porcelain veneers are more resistant than composite veneers. They are durable and scratch-resistant.
  • Porcelain veneers are lifelike, and nobody will notice you have veneers unless you tell them.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Before a patient gets porcelain veneers, he or she must have good oral health. As with other procedures, any infections or diseases must be considered before placing porcelain veneers.

If you would like a simple solution for fixing your front teeth, Costa Rica Dental Team can help with affordable porcelain veneers. We’ll be happy to discuss your needs and provide pricing information for the solutions you want. Just call.
