What Is the Cost of Veneers per Tooth in San Jose, CA?

The cost of veneers per tooth varies per clinic and is dependent upon several factors, including:

• The material of the veneers
• The geographic location of the clinic
• The dentist’s level of expertise and experience
• The location of the teeth (incisors, canines)
• The extent of cosmetic concerns being addressed

On average, the cost of veneers can range anywhere between $500 and $2,500 per tooth; this wide range is due to the number of variables involved that affect the price. In most cases, porcelain veneers are more expensive; composite veneers are generally more affordable.

The length of time that veneers last is different in every situation and depends on several factors unique to each patient, including:

• The location of the veneers
• The number of veneers
• The type (material) of veneers
• The dentist’s level of experience
• The patient’s lifestyle, such as diet
• Oral hygiene of the patient
• Maintenance care of the patient

With good maintenance, dental veneers can last an average of 10 to 15 years; many patients can benefit from the same veneers for over 20 years.

Veneers provide the following advantages:

• Improved Appearance — Veneers can achieve a polished, pleasing, and radiant appearance without compromising a natural look. When performed properly, veneers do not look unnatural and should be virtually impossible to distinguish from natural teeth.

• Highly Durable and Long-Lasting — Veneers are designed to be strong, resilient, and durable as the teeth go through a great deal of force every day. The materials from which veneers are made also affect their durability; in many cases, they last 10 to 20 years.

• Improved Smile — Not only do veneers correct minor imperfections, but they also help balance a person’s bite or the way their teeth fit together when their jaw is closed.

• Easy Maintenance — Once in place, veneers function just like regular teeth, with the same easy maintenance, including brushing and flossing twice a day, using non-alcoholic mouth wash, and visiting the dentist twice a year for regular cleanings and checkups.

• Fast Results — Unlike other cosmetic restorations, one of the big advantages of veneers is that patients can benefit from the results in only a few visits; there is no need to wait months or years to have perfect teeth.

Although porcelain and composite veneers serve the same basic purpose—to cover imperfections of the teeth and provide a beautiful smile—they have a few key differences that set them apart. Composite veneers are made of a resin composite, which is a hard, durable material that can be made to match the natural appearance of teeth. Porcelain veneers, as their name suggests, are made of porcelain, a material commonly used in dentistry for its strong, resilient properties and tooth-like appearance. Porcelain veneers are typically more expensive than composite veneers as they last longer and look more natural.
