Why I need Dental Veneers

For a long-time now, I have been planning to have my set of teeth to have braces. I know that many people in the Philippines have been dreaming to have those metal brackets installed in their teeth as a status symbol or just as simple as my reason, to have my crooked teeth fixed and my jaws fixed too.
So there it is, I had my teeth checked and asked for some dentist’s advice. I inquired to my auntie’s dental clinic and asked, “ready nap o ba for braces ang ngipin ko?” And she replied, “Bale, may 4 na wisdom tooth ka tapos may dalawa kang maliit na ngipin sa harap.” I replied, “Magkano po ba yung wisdom tooth extraction? At yung iba pa?” She replied, “Anak, 5k isang wisdom tooth tapos iba pa yung veneers.” Woah, before getting braces, it looks like I need to get these things done first. I have my 4 wisdom tooth extracted. I went bankrupt honestly and had to save first for my dental veneers. So, what’s dental veneers? How much dental veneers cost in the Philippines?

A model of your veneer would be created and submitted to the dental laboratory which usually takes 2-4 weeks to complete.
