Default Are all porcelain veneers created equal

My brother has been quoted 900 pounds for two pressed ceramic veneers. Another dentist has quoted 1400 pounds.....they claim that their veneers are created in california by "frontier dental lab". Is this just hype, or do u really get what you pay for?

£900 for 2 veneers probably won't give you an excellent result. Good possibly, but not excellent.

Frontier dental lab are good but thats only part of the equation. If the dentist is capable and an excellent lab used, the results can be outstanding.

I personally don't use Frontier dental but know their work is reasonable. I generally use a hand full of labs which I have carefully selected. The labs I use are based in Watford, Toronto (and a couple in the US too).

Yes you do need to pay to get quality, but it depends on the capability of the dentist and technician also

Hope this helps
