    Clinic &/ dentist recommendations& reviews are by PM only.
    You won't know how much to budget for until you are seen for a clinical examination. Depending on the condition of your teeth & your desired cosmetic outcome, treatment could involve any combination of whitening, orthodontics, gum recontouring ,composite bonding, porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, root canal treatment....
    Try to attend 2-3 different dental practitioners for consultation before making your decision.
    Strongly consider seeing a prosthodontist.
    Factor in long-term cost (both biological& financial), also timing of maintenance & replacement.
    With the right treatment plan& in the right hands, it should be a good investment for years to come. Best of luck.

    If you are looking at 10 veneers, I would be seeing a prosthodontist if I were you!

    Veneers can be a great restoration and last many years. However they are very senstive to bite issues and also they are not great for teeth that have a filling of any great size. Careful case selection is needed. When choosing a dentist ask to see photographed cases of crowns and veneers they have done. Testimonials mean nothing, see with your own eyes work dont by that dentist.

    10 veneers is a lot of work and a big investment.

    Firstly you should check veneers cost in maximum number of clinic available in your city and then choose the best one for the treatment. About loan no need to apply for loan even you can go for dental insurance instead of getting loan.

    When patients ring my clinic looking to price check I refuse to quote over the phone. I put a basic list on the website but generally each case is unique. Is there whitening needed? are some crowns and some veneers, is the case suitable etc.

    Generally people who are shopping around are not interested in quality only in unit price. If the patient is unwilling to attend for a proper examination, and does not see the value of that service, then they will be unwilling to pay the premium.

    Value is a function of price, service, appearance and longevity. A patient who is only concerned with money will generally find clinics who share similar values.
