How Much Do Veneers Cost in Bristol?
If you've been considering improving the shape, colour or symmetry of your smile, veneers may be one of the options you've come across.
But what should you expect to pay?
Quick answer
At Saltford Dental, Emax porcelain veneers start from £750 per tooth, while composite veneers start from £375 per tooth.
The total cost depends on the number of teeth being treated, the material used and your individual treatment plan.
What is a veneer?
A veneer covers the visible front surface of a tooth to change its appearance.
Veneers can be considered for concerns such as tooth shape, proportion, certain types of discolouration, wear or other aesthetic issues.
There are different ways of achieving this, including porcelain and composite.
Why are porcelain veneers more expensive?
Emax veneers are individually planned and manufactured restorations.
Porcelain offers excellent aesthetics, strength and resistance to staining, but involves a different manufacturing and treatment process from composite applied directly to the tooth.
At Saltford Dental, Emax veneers start from £750 per tooth.
What are composite veneers?
Composite resin is applied directly to the teeth and carefully shaped.
It can offer a more affordable and conservative way of altering a smile and starts from £375 per tooth at Saltford Dental.
The trade-off is that composite can require more maintenance over time and is more susceptible to staining and wear than porcelain.
Is there another option?
Yes.
Saltford Dental also offers 3D printed composite bonding for £3,750 for 10 teeth.
Digital scans are used to pre-design the smile before a custom template guides placement of composite resin.
For patients considering changing several visible teeth, it's an option worth discussing alongside conventional composite and porcelain veneers.
Do I need veneers on every visible tooth?
No.
Cosmetic treatment should be individually planned.
The number of teeth treated depends on your smile, what you're trying to change and how the treated teeth will blend with your natural teeth.
Sometimes whitening or straightening first can reduce the amount of restorative work required.
Can I spread the cost?
Saltford Dental offers 0% finance over 10 months, subject to eligibility, as well as low-interest credit over 24 months.
