Case Description
Received a quote from my dentist to do two porcelain veneers on my two front, top teeth at $1,000 each ($2,000 total) and teeth whitening at $475. My sister says her dentist is charging her 40-50% less for both of these procedures. Should I be shopping around? Is there really this much differentiation in what dentists charge for procedures?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

$1000 for one veneer is an average price in Portland metro area. I would be very surprised if someone is offering this service at $500- $600 per unit.Hope this helps.Inna Shimanovsky, DMD
