How much do veneers cost?

Dental veneers cost between $800 and $1,800 per tooth, on average, depending on the material used. Multiplying that cost by the number of teeth to be treated means that dental veneers get expensive quickly. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment, so they are not covered by insurance.

How long do veneers last for?

The lifespan of dental veneers depends on whether you have porcelain or composite veneers, and how well you care for them. Porcelain laminate veneers can last from 10 to 12 years. Composite resin veneers need to be replaced sooner, since they last for around 4 to 8 years.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are indeed a permanent procedure, as they are attached to your teeth after a part of your enamel is removed. However, the life span of the veneers themselves is around 15 years, after which you will need to get them replaced.

More Information About Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells that cover the tooth’s entire surface to correct misshapen, broken, or undersized teeth. A dentist adjusts the colour to find the perfect match to your natural tooth for a seamless and radiant smile. Veneers can last for years with proper cleaning and care.

EDentist is here to answer all your dental veneer questions or concerns. We will review your treatment options and help you decide which plan is best for you.

The Dental Veneer Treatment Process

The first step is having one of our dentists examine your teeth for hidden problems. Then your dentist will reshape your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. Next, the dentist will take an impression and record the colour of your teeth.

The lab uses the mould to create your veneers, while the colour and shade help match the veneers to your other teeth. Generally, the dentist will issue temporary veneers while you wait for your permanent set. Once your customised veneers come in, the dentist will bond them to your teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers bond permanently to your tooth using bonding cement. They do not stain, are durable and only require replacement if they crack or sustain damage.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are an affordable solution if you are unhappy with your smile. They require less tooth preparation than other types of veneers, and repairs are quick.

Lumineers

Lumineers can last 20 years and only require two dental visits. Lumineers are thinner than other veneers, stronger, and less likely to chip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are There Alternatives to Veneers?

Veneers are the best option to improve the appearance of your front teeth. However, many dentists use crowns or fillings as a more durable treatment for back teeth.

How Do I Take Care of My Veneers?

Taking care of your veneers is relatively straightforward. Like taking care of your teeth, you should brush and floss daily and stay up-to-date on regular check-ups and clean-ups. Limiting hard foods can also help increase the longevity of your veneers.

How Are Lumineers Applied to Teeth?

During your first appointment, we will take an x-ray and an impression of your teeth to examine your mouth for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease. Next, your dentist will help you choose a veneer colour that matches your teeth. After a lab creates your customised Lumineers, you will come in for a second appointment, where a dentist will bond them to your teeth. The dentist will then polish and smooth them for a perfect look.
