How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost? 

The average national cost of porcelain veneers ranges from $925 to $2,500 per tooth treated. This wide range is based on variables such as your dentist’s experience and location and the number of teeth you want treated. Understanding the full cost of your treatment helps you plan accordingly for financing.

Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Porcelain Veneers?

Dental veneers are considered cosmetic treatments, so insurance usually does not cover any of the procedure’s cost. Although porcelain veneers are typically an out-of-pocket expense, circumstances such as a broken tooth or severe enamel loss may warrant coverage, but such situations are rare. Check with your insurance provider for specific coverage information.

Options for Financing Porcelain Veneers 

Just because porcelain veneers are considered an out-of-pocket expense doesn’t necessarily mean you have to pay cash up front for your procedure. Dentists often accept credit cards or dental financing plans for their services. For patients with good credit, a credit card with a low introductory rate could be a good option if you can pay off the balance before the special rate expires.

Some dental financing plans offer a way to pay for expensive procedures without any upfront costs and low monthly payments. Companies often work with individuals to find an affordable payment plan. You can also contact Dr. Tomazin’s office to discuss your financing options.

Is Financing Dental Veneers a Good Value? 

While financing veneers may seem like a big decision, the value porcelain veneers offer usually makes them well worth their investment. Veneers provide these benefits: 

• Natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth
• Repair of cosmetic issues like cracks, chips, stains, and gaps 
• Durable and strong, lasting 10-15 years or longer 
• Resistant to stains from tea, coffee, and other staining agents
• Low maintenance, requiring the same care as your natural teeth
• Boosted confidence and self-esteem 

When Saving Money Could Cost You More 

While exploring your financing options for dental veneers, you may be tempted to find ways to reduce the cost of your procedure. However, these “money savers” could end up costing you more in the long run. For example: 

Choosing Cheaper Alternatives 

Porcelain veneers cost more than composite veneers. It might be tempting to go with a less expensive material, but you may not see the same value. Instead of lasting 10–15 years, composites typically only last a couple years. You won’t pay as much up front, but you may end up paying more in the long run as you have to replace your veneers more often. 

Opting to Treat Fewer Teeth 

Treating fewer teeth will keep you on a smaller budget, but patients often regret this choice as well. Those beautiful new veneers could make the cosmetic blemishes on your natural teeth more noticeable. We will discuss your concerns and goals at your consultation to ensure you enjoy the best possible results. 

Working With a Less Experienced Dentist 

Another cost-saving measure might be to choose a less experienced dentist who charges less, or even a dental student. Unfortunately, no amount of money saved is worth an unsatisfying result. Always work with a skilled dentist like Dr. Chad Tomazin, who has the expertise necessary to deliver outstanding cosmetic results.
