Both sides of my family have horrible teeth. I brush and practice good oral higene but I still have horible teeth and want to get veneers my insurance will only cover 50% but I have an uncle who lives in central america and practices orthodoncy and could give me a hook up just trying to compare cost of here through ins. vs. flight, hotel, and dentistry.

Oh man. If you're that concerned about your teeth, get it done right, through your insurance company at a good dentist. Not saying your uncle is bad. I think it would be cheaper here. Veneers might crack and break over time. You probably won't be able to bite into food with them - like apples. Veneers are placed on the front of the tooth only. So, they might have a lip that hangs over your natural teeth, causing them to fall off. You'd be better off getting crowns - they will cover the whole tooth (front and back). They will last longer too. 50% is great for insurance to cover. Think if it was none. I would say it's about $1000 per tooth. For either crown or veneer. I'm getting two crowns - my insurance covers 50%. I pay $843 for my half. In Seattle. That's for both teeth. I'd plan on saving $500 per tooth.
