How much do porcelain veneers cost?

Veneers are used to make a tooth look better and to protect the surface of the tooth from decay and damage. Veneers are usually made of a composite material or a dental porcelain.

Actual cost of Veneers depends

The cost of a single veneer can vary depending on location, dentist, and even how many teeth you want done with veneers. The typical cost is about $500 to $1,000 per tooth, so an entire set of veneers can cost up anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 for the more expensive dentists.

Lumineers are a particular brand of veneers that are thinner than traditional veneers, with 0.3 mm thickness vs 0.5 mm.

How long do Veneers last?

Porcelain veneers typically last 5-10 years. With veneers, you can brush and floss normally.

Alternatives to veneers

There are some alternatives to veneers like bondings, crowns, and even do it yourself kits. Crowns are typically more expensive, but might be required if you chipped off a large portion of your tooth, and there isn't enough of a support structure to allow for a veneer.

Do it yourself kits are called snap-on teeth. You can buy them for about $30 on Amazon. The major problem with snap-on teeth is that they cause bacteria and plaque to accumulate, you can't eat with them, and they don't last very long (usually just a few weeks).

Celebrities who have had veneers

The list of celebrities who have had veneers is huge. Some famous ones are Tom Cruise, Mily Cyrus, Katy Perry, and Demi Moore.
