Does Dental Insurance Cover Veneers?
Cherrywood Dental • Jun 19, 2018
Dental veneers are a great way to restore the beauty of a single tooth, or your entire smile if your teeth are discolored, misshapen, chipped or misaligned. If you’re considering veneers to correct and transform your smile, your next question is probably: are veneers covered under my dental insurance policy?
Since most dental insurance companies consider dental veneers to be a cosmetic procedure, they are typically not covered under most insurance plans.
Read on to learn how you can help make veneers fit into your budget.
Veneers at Cherrywood: Does Any Insurance Cover Dental Veneers?
The cost of a single dental veneer is typically between $1,000-$2,000 and the cost can fluctuate depending on certain factors like what material is being used and the skill and expertise of the dentist placing the dental veneers in addition to where you live geographically.
In most cases, dental insurance doesn’t cover elective cosmetic treatments like veneers. Checking with your insurance provider to see if you have any coverage for veneers before beginning treatment is already recommended so you know exactly what to expect and how much your new teeth are going to cost you out of pocket.
How Can I Make Lumineers More Affordable?
For our patients who need financial assistance, Cherrywood Dental Associates offers our patients two different options to make payments manageable, including CareCredit and Lending Club Patient Solutions.

How Cost Effective Are Dental Veneers?
The success rate of dental veneers is extremely high, with patients veneers lasting an average of ten to twenty years or more. Veneers don’t stain, leaving your teeth as bright as you choose. Veneers are cared for with the same good daily oral hygiene that you perform to care for your natural teeth, making it an easy transition into a new smile.
Although dental veneers are strong, it’s advisable to resist the urge to use your teeth as tools and crunch on hard candies or chew on ice to prevent damaging your investment.
Having dental veneers placed is not a reversible procedure, so we always advise patients to be sure of their decision before beginning treatment and to take care of their veneers to the best of their capability.
