When it comes to getting veneers, you likely already know how well these durable, natural-looking restorations can improve your smile. But what you may not know is how many are ideal for achieving your smile goals. If you’re considering this treatment but aren’t sure of the exact number to get, here’s a quick guide to figuring it out!
How Many Veneers Do I Need?
The precise number of veneers you need depends on several factors, including why you need them. For example, if you have only one stained or chipped tooth, you may only need one veneer. However, if that tooth also happens to be one of the top two teeth, you might want to get two veneers, so they’re guaranteed to match.
If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your entire front row of teeth, the standard is six veneers per arch, although most dentists recommend you get at least eight per arch, as this will ensure you don’t have any dark shadows when you smile. You can also choose ten per arch for a more dramatic improvement.
Working With a Smaller Budget
If you’d still like to improve your smile but don’t necessarily have the budget for a full row of veneers, there are several other cosmetic dentistry treatments that could help, including professional whitening and dental bonding. While neither of these options will last as long as veneers will, they are much more affordable and still provide excellent results.
Remember, while the number of veneers you need varies depending on your individual smile and goals, together with your dentist, you can easily find a solution that works for you and your budget.
