I don’t make a lot of money. In fact, I’m pretty close to the poverty line, thankfully on the plus side of it though. I’ve wanted to improve the appearance of my smile for years. Everything I read says smile makeovers need porcelain veneers, which are way out of my budget. Is there such a thing as an affordable smile makeover?<\/p>\n

Dear Mary Anne,<\/p>\n

\"Scottsdale<\/p>\n

It’s admirable that you’re working toward improving your smile despite financial challenges. Your smile is an investment. A beautiful smile exudes confidence, which in turn helps you to be more successful in dealing with peers.<\/p>\n

If you were getting a top of the line smile makeover<\/a>, then yes, porcelain veneers are the way to go. \u00a0There are affordable dentists<\/a> who might be willing to let you pay out your smile makeover, but each dentist has their own policy in regards to what they’ll accept payments on. If they don’t take payments on cosmetic procedures, Care Credit is always an option<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, there are other cosmetic procedures that don’t include porcelain veneers which can make a huge difference in your smile. One of the most affordable things you can do is get your teeth whitened<\/a>. It’s cost effective while taking years off your appearance. It’s also simple to do and can fit into almost anyone’s schedule.<\/p>\n

Of course, a lot of what would help depends on what you perceive is wrong with your teeth. If you have chips or gaps, dental bonding is an affordable way to close those.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps you. Talk to your dentist about specific issues. He or she may have some remarkably creative solutions.<\/p>\n
