How much more expensive is veneer than composite bonding at closing gaps in the front teeth? Also, what are...
Question:
Why can't my orthodntist just close my teeth up with the braces i am wearing? So what if my teeth are too small? Can't he bring the other teeth forward?
Answers:
About 4 times as much for veneers than composites.
No preparation(drilling) for composites but veneers look better and are more stain resistant.2 visits for veneers, 1 for bonding.
Obviously your teeth are too small for orthodontic correction otherwise he would have done it. Impossible to drag too large a defect forwards from the back teeth.

In acoountry like egypt or india it may cost you about 50 dollars for veneers and 20 dollars for composite .. i believe it's much more expensive with no big difference in accuracy in USA
300 to close a gap with composite and it won't last more than 5 years. also it's not going to look that great.
about 2000 to do it with porcelain. it's going to look unbelievable and last a lot longer. and yes, there's a huge difference in quality between US and foriegn dentistry.
Cost varies from office to office but composite bonding would cost around $250-$400/tooth while the porcelain veneer will cost around $1000/tooth. With the bonding, you usually don't have to remove any tooth structure and you are done in one visit while with the veneer you have to go back for at least 2 visits. Both can look nice but veneers tend to look better and they last longer. I'm sure there is a reason your orthodontist can't close this gap with your braces.
Ask your orthodontist about temporary orthodontic veneer system. We use this in our office. It looks great. It is temporary but it closes the spaces when the teeth are pegged (small). The system may last a few years. Veneers are very expensive. The composite bonding is less expensive. The orhodontist has a better view of your bite when the teeth are the right size.
Each person has a unique situation. Orthodontists work within the limits of a person's anatomy; the way the teeth align with other (bones, muscles, etc) structures. Composite bonding is a good restoration in many cases, but will probably require re-do in a few years, as composite materials are subject to wear, recurrent decay, and staining. Depending on your dental health and financial considerations, other options may apply: laboratory (porcelain) veneers, partial or full-coverage crowns, etc. A good dentist will be able to help you choose which method is right for you.
I am a dental technician, the person who makes the teeth. Just for the record, the dentist does does not make the crowns or the veneers, unless he or she has a cad cam milling machine in the office. Veneers are by far the best bet for your money. They look wonderful when done by someone who knows what they are doing, such as a dental technician. Remember, just because it's a dentist doesn't mean he or she is skilled at making crowns and other restorations.
