Read MorePorcelain veneers are a dental treatment that can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth. They are thin shells made from porcelain that are custom-designed to fit over your existing teeth.
The veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth so that they will be less noticeable. They are a popular choice among adults who are self-conscious about the appearance of their teeth. They are more conservative than other cosmetic dental options such as teeth whitening, tooth bonding, and dental implants.

Veneers are an investment in the smile that lasts a lifetime and is much more than just a cosmetic change.
The veneer procedure is painless and usually takes a few visits to complete. At this first visit, the dentist will make a mould of the existing tooth, which will be used to create a model for the new veneer. From this model, a full set of veneers is created. This takes about two weeks to complete and requires another visit to the office.
The material for your veneers will be determined by your dentist. The dentist will discuss the pros and cons of different materials with you and make suggestions based on the condition of your teeth, lifestyle and budget.
Porcelain Veneers is one of the most popular options but is usually more expensive. If porcelain is not a good option for you, composite resin veneers are another good option. Composite resin veneers are the most affordable material but can chip and crack over time.
At the end of the day, it is your decision on which material is best for you and your smile.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
We can all agree that we want our smile to be as healthy as it can be. And, although brushing and flossing are great ways to keep your teeth clean, it’s not enough to keep your teeth healthy enough for a smile you’re proud to show off. Today, dental veneers have become one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to make a major improvement to your smile. So, how much are dental veneers?
Many factors affect the cost of dental veneers, such as the type of veneer and how many teeth will need veneers.
Australia’s national dental fee survey found that porcelain veneers can set you back up to $1,983 per tooth, while composite veneers can set you back up to $860.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Veneers are designed to make you look your absolute best. But over time, you’re going to need to do a little upkeep. Yes, veneers have a lifespan.
The good news is that if you take good care of your veneers, they can last for years. The bad news is that veneers don’t last forever, no matter how well you take care of them.
Veneers, on average, lasts for around ten years.
The truth is, how long do veneers last will depend on several factors that include your daily habits (smoking, flossing, brushing) and your diet (how often you eat acidic and staining foods like coffee, wine, vinegar, etc.) It’s important to know that veneers only last so long because they are not as durable as your natural tooth enamel. However, even though veneers only last a certain amount of time, they are still a better option than your natural teeth if you are in need of cosmetic or repair work.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Veneers are a popular alternative to porcelain crowns because they do not require removing as much tooth structure. Still, getting veneers isn’t a walk in the park, and some patients experience discomfort following the procedure. This is mostly because the teeth are very sensitive following treatment. Generally speaking, the discomfort from getting dental veneers is temporary and should disappear within a few weeks.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Veneers and other cosmetic dental treatments such as Dental Implants, Invisalign or Clear Aligners, and Crowns are considered as a “Major Dental” treatment.
Most private health insurance covers cosmetic procedures, and every fund would have a different level of cover. Speak to your private health provider about the treatment so you can find out more information on how much is covered and how much is your out of pocket expenses.
