How Much Do Veneers Cost in the US?

If you’re thinking about getting veneers, one of the most common questions you probably have is about how much they cost. In this article we’re going to look at the average costs of some of the most common types of veneers. We’re also going to look the key factors that affect the price you end up paying for veneers.

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for a few reasons. First, they can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. Second, veneers typically cost less than many other cosmetic dentistry treatment options. (We’re not saying they are cheap, we’re just saying they cost less than many other options.)

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the high end side of things when it comes to veneers. They are stronger than most other materials veneers are made of. They look very realistic so very few people will be able to tell you have veneers. And they are also quite durable. In fact, porcelain veneers can last between 10 and 15 years.

Porcelain veneers average around $1900 per tooth. This will generally range from $800 on the low end to $3000 on the high end. 

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are a more affordable option than porcelain veneers. But that affordability comes at a price. Composite veneers are not as strong as porcelain and don’t look quite as realistic either. Also, instead of getting 10 – 15 years out of them, you can expect them to last for 5 – 7 years.

The average cost of composite veneers comes in at around $800 and will come in at $250 on the low end to $1500 on the high end. 

Factors Affecting Cost

The ranges of costs above are quite wide. So what impacts how much you’ll end up paying? Well, obviously the material that’s used to make your veneers is a major one. Where you live is another. Those is larger cities/metro areas can expect to pay more than those in less populated areas. Also, the experience level of your dentist and the lab used to make your veneers will have an impact on the costs as well.
