Cost is one of several factors to weigh when considering veneers. Here is how porcelain and composite veneers compare.
Porcelain veneers
Made individually for each tooth, porcelain veneers usually cost more per tooth than composite. Porcelain resists staining well. Placement usually involves removing enamel, which is permanent, and more than one appointment.
Composite veneers
Built up directly on the teeth, often in one visit, composite veneers usually cost less per tooth. They are more likely to stain, chip and wear, and usually need maintenance or replacement sooner.
What affects your quote
- The material and number of teeth.
- Treatment needed first, such as fillings or gum treatment.
- Whether orthodontic treatment is recommended beforehand.
- Planning steps such as mock-ups and scans.
Planning for the future
All veneers eventually need repair or replacement. Ask your dentist about likely maintenance and replacement costs.
