Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They can be made from porcelain or composite resin. When a tooth is chipped, cracked, discolored or misshapen, veneers are an option for correction.

The total cost of veneers will include the materials, diagnosis and planning and the dentist's time. The dentist will be able to provide a quote that includes the cost of veneer materials, laboratory fees and their own hourly rate. They will also have to consider whether they will need to use other dental procedures to prepare the teeth for veneers.

Veneers can be made of either porcelain or composite resin material. Some dentists will have their own preferences. Porcelain is a more durable material with greater aesthetic properties that can be used to match the tooth color and has greater longevity than composite. Composite resin is more affordable, but may not last as long and may require more frequent re-treatment.
