Cost

What happens

1. At a consult, your dentist checks your teeth and gums and talks about what you would like to change.
2. If veneers suit you, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth. This cannot be reversed.
3. Your dentist takes a mould or scan so the veneers can be made.
4. The veneers are bonded to your teeth and your bite is checked.

Veneers are a permanent change, so your dentist will explain the alternatives first, including teeth whitening and tooth-coloured fillings. Every treatment we plan looks at your dental health, how your teeth work and how they look.

Cost

The fee depends on the time, complexity and materials your treatment needs, so it varies from patient to patient and is confirmed after your dentist has examined you. Your dentist can talk you through the cost before treatment starts, and you can claim on the spot with HICAPS if you have private health cover. See fees, health funds and payment options for more.
