Traditional Veneers

Traditional veneers are created in a dentist office. These tooth veneers are a small tooth-shaped cover that go on top of your natural teeth. These veneers are made of either porcelain or a composite resin. 

Pros

Function

Traditional veneers can really beautify your smile. They can fix a number of issues including chipped, misshapen, or discolored teeth. Porcelain veneers last comparably long (around 10 years) before needing replacement.

Many people have found teeth veneers to be a great solution to cosmetic issues they have with their smile. The method has been used by dentists for many years. 

Cons

Cost

Traditional veneers are costly. The cheapest traditional veneers are $1,000 per tooth, but can cost much more. This is especially problematic for patients with major dental issues and need quite a few teeth fixed. 

Veneers are generally not covered by dental insurance since it is a cosmetic procedure. There will also be an additional charge for each dental visit not to mention the amount of time you’ll be off work. Traditional veneers are anything but affordable veneers.

Durability

Even though they are incredibly expensive, traditional veneers don’t last forever. Even with proper dental hygiene, you’ll have to replace most traditional veneers every 5-10 years. 

Invasive and Irreversible

Traditional veneers are an invasive procedure that is irreversible. A dentist must remove .55 mm of tooth enamel before attaching the veneer. The irreversible nature of this procedure is something to keep in mind before deciding to have it done. 

Even Colgate says there are more Cons than Pros, when it comes to traditional veneers.

Press-On Veneers

Press-on veneers, on the other hand, are a more modern dental solution. These veneers are typically a full arch of teeth that snaps into place over existing teeth, instead of a cover on an individual tooth. Custom-made just for you, these modern affordable veneers are made from a thin but durable resin. 

The process to complete these veneers is quite easy and only requires a simple tooth impression along with photos of the existing smile. 

Pros

Accessibility

You can order Press-On Veneers directly from Brighter Image Lab instead of going through a dentist.  You simply send your dental impression through the mail and upload photos of your smile. Press-On Veneers are uniquely accessible. While many dentists do offer similar solutions, the Original Press-On Veneers are only available lab direct.

Cost

Press-On Veneers are much cheaper than traditional veneers and there are no expensive dentist office charges. 

Press-On Veneers from Brighter Image Lab start at $795 for a full arch

Non-Invasive and Irreversible 

Press-On Veneers are so thin that enamel removal is unnecessary. This makes the process reversible and clients can have other procedures done in the future. Press-on veneers can be a cosmetic fix for several years before having another procedure done. 

Cons

Scam Companies

Some companies offer a low-quality version of what they claim are dental veneers. Many unsatisfied customers take to social media and review sites to complain about the fit or appearance of these products.

Many companies have advertised new dental options. Often, it is difficult to determine which are legitimate. Some companies to be wary of are Instasmile, TruSmile Veneers, and many cheap knockoffs found advertising on social media.

Thickness

Press-On Veneers add bulk to the existing smile because there is no enamel removal. People are bothered by this addition both due to discomfort and cosmetic preference, but this discomfort usually subsides with continued use. 

Atypical Dental Option

When done lab direct, Press-On Veneers have no oversight from a dentist. Some people prefer the traditional dentist experience and are uncomfortable with any dental option that doesn’t include a dentist.
