Reading a quote for dental veneers line by line
The label on a quote tells you less than the lines beneath it. Check the same material, the same number of teeth, and the same design and shade approach, and make sure that anything not included is stated rather than assumed.
If a line is vague, ask the office to define it. Reputable practices are used to explaining their quotes, and a written breakdown protects both sides.
- Look for items listed as 'additional' or 'if needed'
- Ask what could change the total and by how much
- Confirm the warranty in writing
- Keep a copy of every estimate you receive
What a veneer quote should include
Veneers are usually priced per tooth, so a plan for several teeth multiplies the unit price. Check what else the total contains.
- The material and the number of teeth
- Any preparatory work such as gum contouring, whitening or orthodontics
- A trial smile or temporary veneers
- A night guard to protect the restorations
- A warranty and the fee to replace a chipped veneer
