Veneers have become a trend that many people are interested in because they can quickly give you straight teeth without braces and a whiter smile at the same time. 

Porcelain Veneers are so popular because they can quickly deliver life changing benefits:

✔️They help you look younger with permanent white teeth

✔️They help you make a good first impression and look more professional in business

✔️They help you look more attractive when dating

✔️They help you feel more confident too

The #1 problem with dental veneers however is the COST! They can range from $1,000-4000 each tooth depending on the experience of the #cosmeticdentist, the quality of dental lab, and the zip code you are getting your veneers. That’s a big investment!

Many people want that new smile but simply can’t afford it so they seek alternatives to porcelain veneers like getting these composite veneers which are a cheaper, less durable material to save money and to get “the look”. That’s ok if you get them from a trained and licensed dentist, but people are now seeking irreversible veneer procedures from people who are unlicensed in the field of dentistry. The term to describe this new black market in dentistry is now being called "basement veneers". This phenomenon is putting consumers smiles and oral health at risk!
