Dr. Victoria Veytsman on the Cost of Veneers

One of the most common questions we get is what is the cost of veneers? The cost of veneers depends on so many factors. One is the location, the expertise and the experience of the doctor, the complexity of the case, the quality of the lab, the experience of the ceramist. Let's talk about location first. The price for porcelain veneers in cosmetic dentistry depends on the area where you get the work done. There's so much variance from state to state. New York and California are obviously going to be a bit more expensive than say, Texas or Wyoming or other parts of the world as well. At our office, our fees are commensurate with our location, our level of expertise, our experience, our ceramics, the material that we use and the complexity of the case. Our fees average around 4,000 per tooth and are all inclusive. They include all the visits from the consultation to, to the smile design to the preparation visits and all follow up visits. Also, the level of expertise and experience of the ceramist affects the price as well. There's a certain level of workmanship, craftsmanship and artistry that goes into this that takes years to develop. One of the biggest questions we get is, are porcelain veneers? Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance? And unfortunately it is not. Another question we get is, is there financing? And the answer is, yes, there is. There are many companies that we with, like HairCredit, patient buy and Cherry. Broadly, the average smile makeover is about 10 to 20 teeth, so that is about 30 to $60,000 a case on average.
