How Much Do Composite Veneers Cost?
Direct composite veneers commonly cost $300-$1,500 per tooth. They may require less tooth reduction and can be repaired, but they generally have different stain, wear, polish, and maintenance characteristics than laboratory porcelain.

Veneers are commonly treated as cosmetic and may not be covered unless a plan accepts a documented restorative indication.
Ask for a written predetermination and do not assume a cosmetic exclusion applies identically to every tooth.
