What’s Cheaper? Veneers or Invisalign?

If you’re unhappy with your smile, or if you simply feel that your teeth could benefit from a little improvement, be sure to book in with your dentist today to discuss the wide range of options which are available to you.

It doesn’t matter whether you feel your teeth are crooked, or if you simply want to improve their aesthetics slightly, if you speak to your dentist, they will almost certainly be able to help.
Generally when it comes to aligning the teeth and improving their aesthetics, you have two choices: Veneers, and Invisalign. But what’s cheaper, veneers or Invisalign? And perhaps more importantly, which will suit you best?

While both options provide their own unique pros and cons, it’s down to you and you dentist to decide which treatment would be most appropriate for you and your circumstances.

To help make up your mind however, we’ll now be looking at the key differences between Invisalign and veneers.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a dental treatment which is designed to help people build a healthy and happy smile in a discreet and comfortable way. 

Put very simply, Invisalign braces are transparent and are virtually invisible, and rather than being fixed permanently in place, they are instead fully removable so the wearer can put them in and take them out at their leisure, with no fuss at all. 

Because Invisalign requires no wires or orthodontic brackets, Invisalign braces are much more comfortable and far less invasive than regular braces.

What are veneers?

Dental veneers are basically slim sheets of composite resin or porcelain which are bonded directly onto the teeth, specifically onto the outer surface of the teeth. They’re designed to improve the aesthetics of the teeth and make them look whiter, straighter, and healthier.

Veneers are fully customisable for each patient and are designed to help improve the look of the teeth by helping to cover up discolouration, hide cracks and chips, close gaps between the teeth, change the size, colour, and shape of the teeth, and much more besides.
 
Veneers cover the outer surface of the teeth and help to hide imperfections and help patients to enjoy what many would deem as a ‘perfect smile’. 

How much does Invisalign cost?

We’re talking money today, as the primary aim of today’s topic is to look at what’s cheaper, veneers or Invisalign. 

To help you get a better understanding of which treatment may be best for you, and indeed, how much you should budget for, we’ll begin this section by breaking down the cost of Invisalign. 

If you’re looking for a more affordable way of using Invisalign to brighten and straighten your smile, Tuart Hill Dental can help. 

Invisalign treatments from Nedlands Dental, Perth, can start from as little as $5,119, less your private health rebate. Patients can also benefit from our simple and flexible payment plans. 

Remember, prices can vary so be sure to book an appointment with one of Tuart Hill’s qualified and experienced dentists, as they can provide you with an accurate quote and a customized treatment plan based upon you, your budget, and your dental needs. 

How much do veneers cost?

When pricing up dental veneers, things get a little trickier because the price can be affected by a whole host of different variables. 

Porcelain veneers for example, cost a lot more than composite resin, and so you can expect to pay considerably more for porcelain veneers than you would for composite resin ones. It also depends on how many veneers you actually need. 

If you are on a budget however, our sister dental practice Tuart Hill Dental, offers veneer price plans which start from as little as just $450. 

To discuss the possibility of you having veneers fitted, and to determine which material may be best for you, book an appointment with one of our experienced dentists over at Tuart Hill Dental for a no-obligation consultation to determine which veneers or treatment plan may be suitable for you.

So, the big question, should you get Invisalign or veneers? Well, in all honesty, that’s entirely up to you.

We’re looking at what’s cheaper, veneers or Invisalign, so if you are on a budget, composite resin may be more suitable. If however, price isn’t much of an issue, you can go with Invisalign or porcelain veneers.
