Porcelain veneer costs can vary in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Chandler, and Mesa. Therefore, Dr. Gore and Svans want to let you know all you need to know to make an informed decision. Porcelain veneers offer a wonderful solution for a beautiful, well aligned smile. There are several factors that may influence porcelain veneer costs, including:

Degree of Skill and Artistry Required

Porcelain veneer costs may be influenced by the experience of your dentist and the lab technician who fabricates your veneers. It is important to note that porcelain veneers are very tiny porcelain sheets that are individually applied to each tooth to form a covering that can fill in a gap, repair a chipped or cracked tooth, cover worn enamel or severely discolored teeth, and/or lengthen teeth. Veneers is a highly technique driven procedure and requires a high level of education to fabricate and perform the procedure. Add to this the experience of dentist and lab technician, costs for veneers may be higher with a dentist and laboratory technician who have extensive experience in properly fabricating these tiny porcelain sheets and performing the procedure. So, the skill and artistic expertise of the dentist and the laboratory technician play a role in the costs and ultimately, the outcome for natural looking results.
 
Number of Teeth to Veneer

The number of teeth that require veneers also affects costs. Some people only require one or two veneers. Others prefer to have their entire mouth veneered. The decision for the number of teeth to veneer depends upon the goal in the procedure. During the procedure, each tooth is carefully prepared. Then, an impression must be made to allow the lab technician to custom fit the veneers for you. Finally, a temporary veneer will be placed over your tooth or teeth until your permanent veneers are ready. It is at this time that your dentist carefully applies and bonds each sheet of porcelain onto your tooth or teeth.  Thus, the number of teeth that you would like to veneer affects the price you will pay for veneers. 
 
Dental Materials

Dental materials that are used to create the veneers play a role in the cost for veneers. Porcelain is the finest material to use in veneers. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable, resistant to staining, long lasting, and offer natural appeal. So, porcelain veneers are more costly than veneers made from less durable materials such as those used in making composite veneers.

Insurance Coverage
Dental veneers are typically considered cosmetic dentistry and NOT covered by dental insurance companies. However, there are instances in which dental veneers are used for restorative purposes in which dental insurance companies will pay for a portion or all of the costs of veneers.
