NEW YORK, USA: The average price dentists charge their patients for porcelain veneers is about US$1,100 per tooth, according to a survey conducted by The Wealthy Dentist, a website offering continuing education and marketing resources to dental professionals.
In the survey, dentists were also asked to share their thoughts about offering veneers.
Responses included the following:
- “I wish I could do them cheaper, but good lab work and planning takes time and money,” said a Michigan dentist who responded to the survey.
- “The fee is not enough for the time it takes,” said another dentist, from Mississippi. “It is a lot more complicated than a dental crown.”
- “Depending upon the number of teeth to be done, I will discount my per-tooth fee,” said an Oklahoma dentist who responded to the survey.
- “Veneers are almost always placed as multiple units of eight to 10 veneers, making a small discount per unit reasonable and still profitable,” said a North Carolina dentist.
The survey noted that porcelain veneers cost about the same as Lumineers, a brand of teeth veneers that have become a popular part of cosmetic dentistry. Yet some dentists charge significantly more for Lumineers veneers, while others charge significantly less.
Prosthodontists in the survey reported charging several hundred dollars more per tooth veneer than general dentists.
“We never say ‘crown’ in our prosthodontic practice. Our patients come back and say they ‘just love their new veneers.’ Think about it, crowns are really full veneers,” said a Tennessee prosthodontist.
“Veneers are the best tool available for doing an extreme dental makeover,” said Jim Du Molin, founder of The Wealthy Dentist. “With veneers, patients can change the size, shape and color of their teeth, giving them the smile of their dreams.”
