The cost of porcelain veneers is usually based on a fixed per restoration price. Most dentists have a standard fee that ranges from $ 850 to $ 2,600 per restoration. Fees vary significantly based on the experience of the cosmetic dentist, location of the country, number of restorations and the challenge of a specific patient's cosmetic case.

           The cost of porcelain veneers increases when additional diagnostic cosmetic procedures are done. Many patients who have special cosmetic problems require the creation of artistic wax study models to assist the cosmetic dentist in visualizing the most ideal and beautiful tooth arrangement for these patients. This process takes additional time and requires additional costs.

           In some cases, beautiful natural looking diagnostic composite temporary veneers are designed from an approved artistic wax study model. The patient wears the temporaries and evaluates their look before the final porcelain veneers are made. The patient can suggest changes while wearing the diagnostic temporary veneers and these suggestions are incorporated in the final porcelain restorations. Of course, the cost of porcelain veneers increases with each additional diagnostic procedure.

          Almost all dental insurance companies consider porcelain veneers part of elective cosmetic dentistry and will not pay anything for them. This ultimately leaving the whole cost of porcelain veneers to the patient. If you would like to consult with Dr. Padolsky, make an appointment at 404-874-7428.
