What you're paying for

  • Porcelain veneers are custom-milled by a lab and bonded over two visits, the priciest but longest-lasting option.
  • Composite veneers are shaped by hand in one visit, cheaper but shorter-lived.
  • Number of teeth matters most: a single chip costs a fraction of a full 6-8 tooth smile.

What affects the price

Why are porcelain veneers more expensive?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made by a dental lab from high-strength ceramic, take more chair time and at least two visits, and last far longer than composite, which is shaped by hand in the chair. You are paying for materials, lab work, and durability.

Does insurance cover veneers in Canada?

Veneers are almost always considered cosmetic, so insurance rarely covers them. Some plans cover a portion if a veneer also restores a broken or decayed tooth. Many clinics offer monthly financing.

How many veneers do I need?

Most people veneer the teeth that show when smiling, commonly 6-8 on the upper arch, though some only need one or two to fix a chip or gap. A smile-design preview at your consult shows exactly how many.

Are cheap veneers worth it?

Very low "from" prices often mean composite rather than porcelain, fewer teeth than a full smile, or a less experienced cosmetic dentist. Compare itemized quotes and real case photos, not just the headline price.
