How much do veneers cost per tooth?

Porcelain veneers run $1,000–$2,500 per tooth in 2026, while composite veneers cost $250–$1,500 per tooth. A full smile makeover of 8–10 veneers typically totals $8,000–$25,000. Veneers are considered cosmetic and almost never covered by insurance.

What is the veneer procedure like?

Traditional porcelain veneers require two visits: tooth prep (removing 0.3–0.7mm of enamel) and impressions at visit one, then bonding the lab-made veneers 1–2 weeks later. Composite veneers are sculpted chairside in a single 1–2 hour visit. Local anesthesia is used during prep.

Are veneers painful and how long is recovery?

The procedure is painless with local anesthesia; mild sensitivity to hot and cold typically lasts 1–2 weeks after bonding. There is no downtime — patients return to normal activities the same day. Avoid hard foods like ice and bones to protect the bond long-term.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers last 10–15 years on average, with some lasting 20+ years with excellent care. Composite veneers last 5–7 years before staining or chipping requires replacement. Grinding, nail biting, and chewing ice are the most common causes of early failure.

Am I a candidate for veneers?

Good candidates have healthy gums, sufficient enamel, and no untreated decay or active gum disease. Heavy grinders (bruxism) may need a night guard or should consider crowns instead. Less invasive alternatives include dental bonding ($200–$600/tooth) or whitening for minor concerns.
