Regardless of how well you maintain your oral health, it’s common for teeth to shift, become discolored, or lose their enamel as you get older. When that happens, some people choose to enhance their smile’s aesthetic appearance with dental veneers. Let’s explore how much veneers may cost, the factors that can affect this cost, and whether dental insurance can help you save money on this cosmetic procedure.

Dental veneers work by bonding to the front surfaces of your teeth to hide natural imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps or discoloring. There are both permanent and removable veneers available in materials like composite resin, porcelain, or ultra-thin porcelain (known as Lumineers).
Dental veneers may cost between $500 to $2,500 per tooth. Here are cost ranges for the following types of veneers based on material:1
| Veneer material | Cost range |
|---|---|
| Composite resin (chairside ) | $500 - $1,400 |
| Composite resin (laboratory) | $800 - $2,300 |
| Porcelain | $900 - $2,500 |
| Lumineers | $800 - $2,000 |
One reason why some veneer materials are more expensive is durability. Porcelain veneers, for instance, can last 10 years or longer. Lumineers, which can also be more costly, may last for up to 20 years.1
In addition to the material, here are some other factors that can affect the cost of veneers:
The more veneers you get, the more you should expect to spend. For instance, a single veneer will cost much less than getting veneers for every tooth. Keep in mind that some dentists may offer a discounted rate for multiple veneers.
If you need additional procedures before getting dental veneers, this could add to the overall cost. For instance, you may need gum contouring or treatment for tooth decay before the procedure.
Veneer costs can vary by dentist. The more skilled and experienced your dentist is, the more you’ll likely pay for veneers. You may be able to save money if the veneers are done by a less experienced dentist.
Likewise, dentist offices in cities tend to have higher prices than rural ones due to a higher cost of living. Staff and technicians need to earn more to live nearby, so dental offices usually must pass those increased costs on to customers.
