Some year down the line (when I can afford it) I might get veneers to cover up mild orthodontic problems. My question is, do you have do get veneers on every single tooth or on just the ones that you see when you speak or smile? I know they are about $1000 per veneer so I was wondering. Thanks for the help!

You can just veneer the ones you would like to.

Talk to your dentist, or if you don't have one make an appointment for a consult regarding composite veneers with a few. Make sure you know how much the consult will cost and if that cost is deferred off your bill when work is done. Composite veneers have been around for a long time, some dentist do them and some don't. They are basically just a filling material shaped over your prepped teeth. They require less tooth structure to be removed and less chair time as well. No impression to be sent off to the lab and having to wear tempories for weeks. They are not as natural looking as veneers or your natural tooth for that matter. The light just doesn't go thru them the same as your natural tooth and they dry faster also which can give them a dull or lifeless appearance. But they are a lot less expensive. If you really are in bad shape, there are places, and sometimes doctors who do work for free just to help people out. You might start with your church or just calling some dental offices and asking. It never hurts to try and I know we've done cases several times last year. Good luck!

No, we don't do veneers on every tooth because they are not strong enough. You have to be aware of them at all times. They are usually done one the front ones you can see. We just did a case and they turned out so good. We drilled all the teeth down to were we needed them, yea there's a temp but most find it's easier not to wear it, and in two - three weeks you come back to have them put on. It does take a long time. They are placed on each tooth the way you would do a composite filling.

No you don't have to get them on every single tooth. I have them just on my upper teeth because my lower teeth are decent and aren't seen when I smile/talk.
