Veneers FAQs
How much do veneers cost per tooth?
Porcelain veneers cost $925-$2,500 per tooth at private practices. Composite veneers are cheaper ($250-$600 per tooth) but less durable. Most people get 4-8 veneers for a full smile makeover, costing $4,000-$20,000 total. Payment plans and financing are commonly available.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers last 10-15 years with proper care. Composite veneers last 5-7 years. Avoid biting hard objects and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. When veneers need replacement, the cost is similar to the original placement.
Are dental veneers covered by insurance?
Dental veneers are considered cosmetic and are almost never covered by insurance. This makes cash-pay pricing especially important. Compare prices from multiple providers and ask about financing options.
