This is a practical question that affects treatment decisions for many patients. I’m Dr. Emily Nguyen from Picasso Dental Clinic, and I need to give you an honest answer that will probably disappoint you initially, though understanding insurance logic helps you plan realistically for veneer investment. Why Insurance Doesn’t Cover Cosmetic Veneers Insurance companies distinguish […]

A full set of veneers typically means eight to ten upper teeth or 16 to 20 teeth for both arches. In Western countries, expect $8,000 to $25,000 for upper teeth or $16,000 to $50,000 for both upper and lower. In Vietnam, similar quality treatment costs 60 to 70 percent less. At Picasso Dental Clinic, where we've completed thousands of full smile makeovers since 2013 treating over 70,000 patients, most full sets range from eight to twelve teeth rather than all visible teeth. I cannot provide exact quotes without evaluation because your tooth condition, material selection, and complexity dramatically affect total investment.

Porcelain veneer costs vary dramatically based on location, dentist experience, material quality, and case complexity. In Western countries like the US, UK, or Australia, expect $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth. In Vietnam, quality veneers typically cost $200 - $600, while maintaining comparable standards. At Picasso Dental Clinic, where we've treated over 70,000 patients from 65 nationalities since 2013, we use premium Swiss or German materials at Vietnamese pricing. However, I cannot quote exact costs without examining your specific situation because tooth condition, number of veneers needed, and complexity all affect pricing.

Porcelain veneers are risky for people with bruxism because grinding forces can crack, chip, or debond veneers prematurely. However, veneers can work if you commit to wearing a custom night guard religiously, address the grinding cause if possible, and accept higher maintenance needs. At Picasso Dental Clinic, where I've treated over 70,000 patients since 2013, I place veneers on grinders only when they demonstrate commitment to night guard use and understand the increased risk. Severe, uncontrolled bruxism makes veneers inappropriate, and alternatives like crowns provide better durability

The appropriate treatment depends on whether your misalignment is dental (tooth position), skeletal (jaw relationship), or both. Mild cases may need clear aligners or cosmetic veneers. Moderate misalignment typically requires traditional braces or Invisalign. Severe cases might need orthodontics combined with jaw surgery. At Picasso Dental Clinic, where I've treated over 70,000 patients since 2013, I evaluate X-rays, photos, bite relationship, and your specific goals before recommending treatment. What looks like simple tooth crowding to you might actually involve complex bite problems requiring comprehensive orthodontics rather than quick cosmetic fixes.

Teeth darken after root canals because of blood breakdown products, residual pulp tissue, or certain filling materials entering the tooth structure. Treatment options include internal bleaching, where I place whitening gel inside the tooth for one to two weeks, external bleaching if discoloration is mild, or covering the tooth with a veneer or crown for severe cases. At Picasso Dental Clinic, where I've restored thousands of root canal teeth since 2013 treating over 70,000 patients, internal bleaching succeeds in roughly 80 percent of cases when the discoloration is recent and moderate.

Porcelain veneers in Vietnam typically cost between $250 and $800 per tooth, depending on the quality of materials, the dentist's experience, and the clinic location. At Picasso Dental Clinic, our veneers range from $350 to $600 per tooth, using premium materials from Germany and Japan. Having served 70,000+ patients from 65 countries since 2013, I can tell you this is significantly less expensive than Western countries, where veneers often cost $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth, yet the quality at reputable Vietnamese clinics matches international standards.
