Which is cheaper?

Question

Vineer or crown? How much does it cost? How long will it last?

Answer 1

In my office they are the same price $965. Insurance will never pay for veneers as they are considered cosmetic, but if their is a " dental need" for a crown ( decay, fracture etc.) then most ins. co. will possibly cover 40 to 80 % of the cost. the restorations can last 10-20 yrs with good oral hygiene and reg. dental check ups. I think veneers have gotten a bad rap with all the new technology their are different types of porcelains that are Very strong and the bonding strength of today's cements are unbelievable

Answer 2

In my office, they cost the same thing. Veneers are harder to do properly than a crown and the lab fe is at least as much as the fee for a crown.

When done PROPERLY, a veneer could last about the same as a crown, but we don't know that for sure yet. They have only been in general use for maybe 20 years and modern crowns have been around for a hundred or more years.

If you want to know an average cost of dental work, it helps to know the area you live in. Average cost can vary widely by region. But, if you need help saving money on that, I know crowns and veneers can be costly, check out the following plan. The plan wont pay 100%, but it would save you SIGNIFICANT money on any and all wanted or needed work. Plus, if you at least have a dental plan, most dentists are good about taking payments. So this would save you a lot overall. Like for example, I had an emergency oral surgery. Would have been over $2,000 for all of it, but thanks to this plan, I only paid $226 By the way, its the #1 dental discount plan in the country. Best price, best plan, best dentists. Read on:

Answer 4

I have had crowns lasting 15 years!

Don't remember how much though.

But my neice says the veneeers are really prices and hers have fallen off or gotten loose.

Answer 5

Crowns will last longer. Depending on if you have insurance and what type of insurance will depend on how much you will have to pay for them.
