Veneer costs vary from person to person. This guide explains what influences the fee and what else to consider.
What influences the fee
- Material: porcelain veneers usually cost more per tooth than composite veneers.
- Number of teeth: the total rises with each tooth.
- Preparatory treatment: decay, gum disease or crowding may need treatment first.
- Experience: ask your dentist about their training and experience with veneers.
Porcelain veneers
Made individually for each tooth; resist staining; usually require permanent removal of some enamel and more than one visit.
Composite veneers
Built up directly on the tooth, often in one visit; cost less but stain, chip and wear more readily.
Looking after veneers
- Brush and clean between teeth daily.
- Avoid biting hard objects such as ice.
- Keep regular check-ups.
Are veneers right for you?
Consider whether your teeth and gums are healthy, whether a less invasive option might suit you, and whether you are prepared for ongoing maintenance and eventual replacement. Risks include sensitivity, chipping and veneers coming off.
Interest-free payment plans are available for eligible patients, subject to terms. Read more about dental veneers at North Ryde Dentistry.
