I want a smile makeover which dental vaneers are best …lumineers, Mac vaneers….how much will my new smile cost?

Q. Hi Dr Riten, having looked at your website I see that you are the nearest expert to me I live in Kingston. I wonder if you can help me. I am 45 and recently divorced I have just got my settlement and have decided that its about time I spent some money on myself and I have always been aware that my smile lets me down. I dont want a “hollywood smile” but I want a “new smile” I think i need teeth vaneers or porcelain vaneers my teeth are quite yellow and the bottom teeth are shorter than they should be, my regular dentist tells me its because i grind my teeth. I know for a smile makeover I need to see a cosmetic dentist for a good result. I have read a lot about different types of vaneers and the lumineers appeal to me because i dont want to have a lot of my teeth chopped off and these dont require that. Would you recommend lumineers vaneers ? or are there better vaneers like mac vaneers which are made in America? It seems that America have much better vaneers than here from looking on various websites and I really want the best, can you get these american vaneers in the UK? Also can you give me an idea how much my new smile would cost me I have about 20 thousand in savings and could possibly put the rest on a finance plan if it was more but I would like a ball park figure so that I can sort out my finances. I think i would need vaneers on all my teeth as i do not see the point in only doing the ones at the front or a few on the top I want my smile to look great from every angle. Thankyou for your time.

A. Dear F
I agree that worn teeth / smiles often need all your teeth treated as this would correct your bite / jaw problems as well as improving your cosmetic appearance. I would certainly recommend a cosmetic consultation to assess your smile.
All our porcelain veneers are made in New York and I also believe they are the best available. My dental Lab has some of the worlds finest dental technicans who have created a majority of the celebrity hollywood smiles we all see on TV.

However, I like you, like to assess everyone individually to see what they want their smile to look like, we can also show you past clients and books with different shaped teeth, we also place you into prototype teeth so you can view your new smile before it is permanently made so you can give your feedback. We have created hundreds of naturally looking harmonious smiles.

Lumineers are always an option but I do generally prefer traditional veneers, However when teeth are worn down already they often need very little preparation.
It is impossible to give you a costing without seeing you but smiles generally range from £8000- 35,000 depending on how much and how mny teeth need to be worked on.
I hope this helps
Look Forward to meeting you soon
