"Composite veneers are expensive" - Dentist
Ghanaian dentist Marie Wehpia spoke to YEN.com.gh about the cost of composite veneer and the elements that factored into the cost.
She explained that the treatment plan was specific to a person, adding that it was mostly done for persons with damaged teeth.
However, she noted that it had become a trend and that some persons get the procedure done for cosmetic reasons especially people with gaps between their teeth or discolouration.
"It’s ideally not painful, but to avoid any chance of pain or sensitivity during the procedure, local anaesthesia is given before starting."
She stated that the more teeth involved, the longer the procedure and that composite veneers were mostly done on the anterior teeth.
Sharing details on how the procedure might cost, Dr Wehpia said that costs varied from health facility to health facility.
"Fixing a chipped tooth can be about 400 cedis but veneers are usually more," she said.
Dr Wehpia explained that it costs between GH¢700 and GH¢1000 per tooth for a composite veneer procedure.
