I’m saving up for a smile makeover and want to really do it right. Can you tell me which brand of porcelain veneers are the best. Price is not an object (at least when I’m done saving).

Taylor,
I’m glad you’re trying to do research before you get your smile makeover done. There is a more important question to ask than the brand of porcelain veneers. You’ll want to research your dentist more than your veneers.You could have a brand of veneers that create a gorgeous smile, but if your dentist isn’t artistic, the smile will end up looking dull. There are plenty of cosmetic horror stories about people who spent thousands of dollars to improve their smile only to end up with something so much worse than what they came in with.
You’ll want a dentist who has proven both their technical skill as well as their artistry. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has a screening process that can help you with that. Dentists who reach accreditation level have demonstrated both knowledge and artistry. To be honest there aren’t many dentists who reach this level. Only about the top 1-3% of denitsts get accredited. HOwever, you can KNOW that you’ll get a gorgeous smile. It will be worth it, even if you have to drive to a nearby city for your treatment.
