Is there a minimum age on getting veneers?

Posted by admin as Cosmetic Dentistry

I am 16, nearly 17 and want to get veneers. Will my dentist be allowed to do it? I may not be able to get my parents consent. Plus, what would be the approximate price per veneer. (cheapest type of veneers plz)

Sorry, but until you can give consent and pay for them, you are at the mercy of your parents.Veneers are pricey,but they can greatly improve your smile. A safe estimate would be $1000 and up per tooth(see, I did say they were expensive). There are less expensive composite resin veneers,but they tend to chip and stain and will end up costing more in replacements.If a dentist is charging less than $800 per veneer, they are using less than top quality materials and they will not hold up in the long run. Good dentistry costs money-not just because it all goes in the dentist’s pocket,either. The labs charge a ton of money for precise work ,like veneers, and it takes a certain artistic touch to do them well.Like many other things, you get what you pay for. Good luck.

What is the price for getting braces off and retainers?

You may be old enough to have the veneers placed. It all really depends upon how mature your oral development is–but you will need your parents consent untill you are of legal age. Veneers cost about 700. to 1,000. dollars per tooth.

FYI,
At 16 you’re still a minor and unless there is a clinical reason for even getting a veneer no dentist in the country will do it w/o your parents’ consent.
