What are veneers and how much do they cost

People often assume that veneers are an expensive luxury and are only available to celebrities and the wealthy. But they might be more affordable than you think.

Spreading The Cost

The fact that you can spread the cost of your veneer treatment with o% APR over 24 months means it has become more accessible to patients.

Plus, many use veneers just for minor and moderate corrections, which does not result in overly expensive treatment.

The exact fee for veneers will be determined after a preliminary assessment distinguishing your personal needs and the type of work needed.

Main Factors Which Impact the Cost of Treatment:

  • The type of material used – Porcelain (Lumineers or Ultrathin) is more expensive than composite resin veneers.
  • The number of veneers required (priced per tooth), so the more you have, the higher the cost.
  • Your dental health – e.g. if you require additional treatment for other dental issues such as tooth decay or gum disease before veneers can be fitted.

Many other professional dentists agree that veneers not only improve your appearance and imperfections but also improve the overall hygiene and oral condition of your mouth.

For example, veneer treatments can correct problems and threats like temporomandibular, tooth decay and dental sensitivity.

Other Factors Affecting the Treatment Fee Include:

  • The amount of preliminary work required to create the optimal foundation (patients suffering from gum disease will require prior treatment).
  • The complexity of the smile design – some smiles require more intricate work than others, so the work depends on the type of smile needed.
  • The general health of the teeth and gums.
  • Correcting destructive bite factors – we need to create a harmonious and stable bite so your treatment can last as long as possible.
  • The pre-treatment position, shape, contour and colour of the teeth.

In very rare cases, the NHS will provide veneer treatments because they consider this procedure to be cosmetic.

Pain-free Treatments

Veneers are usually not painful whilst you are having the treatment.

However, some have reported slight sensitivity during the settling down after the final fitting – this is quite normal and nothing to worry over. It usually only lasts for a few days and very soon after subsidies. More.

The sensitivity is due to the bonding process where an inorganic substance (the veneer) bonded to an organic component (your tooth).

In complex cases, involving a large amount of treatment, you may experience a little uncomfortableness while your teeth settle down.

Treatment Plan

  • At your first appointment, your dentist will look at the general health of your teeth and gums, your bite and understand your goals for your smile; and then see if any fundamental issues need addressing before cosmetic veneer work can begin.
  • We will also discuss the type of veneers that may be suitable and how many veneers you’ll likely need to achieve your desired smile. In some patients, it may be possible to get some veneers placed at an initial phase and then have the possibility of additional shells in the future.

Minimal or No Preparation

  • We will always plan your new smile before any treatment begins. We aim to provide you with the most conservative and preservative dentistry.
  • To prevent excessive tooth preparation, we design your new smile in a way that minimises tooth preparation. We also provide options to have orthodontic or teeth straightening treatment carried out before any cosmetic veneer work starts.
  • Your teeth are already well aligned, so very minimal or hardly any tooth preparation becomes necessary.
  • If you are concerned, we advise that you speak to us in your complimentary consultation. We will be able to provide you with suitable solutions. More.

Veneer Costs

What are veneers and how much do they cost

Benefits include:

  • Non-invasive treatment: requires little tooth preparation beforehand, so teeth are not weakened.

  • Drill-free: Drills are only used sparingly to help with bonding.

  • Customised, patient-specific smile: Veneers can be used along with other subtle changes in your smile or a complete set of veneers and create a more extreme smile makeover. All treatments will leave you with a beautiful straight smile.

  • Impressive cosmetic results:  We use porcelain material to create beautiful aesthetic results. Ultrathin veneers are a unique and popular cosmetic dentistry solution.

  • Does not increase teeth sensitivity: Since hardly any enamel is removed, you are less likely to experience sensitivity in your teeth post-treatment.

Major UK Credentials

Improve your Oral Condition Forever

We use a variety of types of veneers, from porcelain to composite. 

Veneer treatments are ideal for helping conditions such as gum disease, tooth sensitivity, or jaw pain caused by bite problems.

  • Gappy smiles/diastema
  • Teeth affected by bruxism

  • Crooked teeth crammed together by overcrowding
  • Stained or yellow teeth
  • Conceal imperfections like chips and breaks

Not only can veneers improve your appearance but they have the potential to better your oral health and hygiene in the following ways.

How long do veneers last on teeth?

With reasonable precautions, dental veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. While you can eat almost anything you like, it is important to exercise reasonable precautions because dental veneers are not indestructible. Porcelain is a glass and can shatter with excessive pressure.

How many teeth do you get veneers on?

Under most circumstances, veneers are placed over the top teeth, as these are the ones that show most when you smile. If there is a case of dental trauma to just one tooth, then a single veneer may be all that is needed. Conversely, if you are looking for a full smile makeover, anywhere from 4-8 veneers are common.

Is it worth it to get veneers?

Since veneers can last for 10 years or more, they're a long-term investment in your ability to feel good about your smile. Many people find that value to be worth the cost and hassle of getting them done.

Are veneers painful?

No! Most patients report no pain or discomfort at all during treatment. This is because the procedure is minimally-invasive. The only preparation required for veneers is the removal of a thin layer of enamel from your teeth.
