What you are paying for
The main cost drivers are the ceramist who layers the porcelain, the diagnostic work before any tooth is touched, chair time, and the materials themselves. A hand-layered feldspathic veneer takes far more skilled labor than a milled monolithic one.
Why the wax-up matters
A diagnostic wax-up and trial smile let you preview and adjust the shape before the permanent work is made. Skipping that step is where most disappointing cosmetic results begin.
Financing
Most patients spread cosmetic treatment over time using Cherry or CareCredit, both of which offer interest-free promotional terms for qualified applicants. We will give you a written plan with the total before you decide.
Key takeaways
- •Cheapest and most expensive both deserve scrutiny.
