I’m looking for a dentist who will give me affordable porcelain veneers. Is that even possible?

Marie Ellen,
Generally, I’m all for finding a skilled affordable dentist. Cosmetic dentistry, and especially porcelain veneers, are not something you want to just find the most affordable dentist. It’s generally one of those procedures that costs a lot of money. That’s because of the amount of post-graduate education and training that go into being able to do it well.
That doesn’t mean you won’t find someone with reasonable prices. I just don’t want you to be lured by price and end up with a smile you’re not proud of.
When evaluating whether or not to use a dentist for a cosmetic procedure, be certain to ask to see before and after images of their work. Make sure it’s their work and not stock photos they’re trying to pass off as their work. A simple direct question should clear up any doubt.
