We’ve all at one time or another wanted that beautiful celebrity smile, but many of us don’t think we can afford that high quality dental work and veneers. Fortunately, there are some things we can do to financially equip ourselves for that new smile.
The cost of veneers in Australia vary from practice to practice and pricing factors may include the material used, how many veneers you require and the coverage you have with your medical health insurance.
How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers look like shells which are custom-made to cover the front of your teeth. They are made to match or enhance your natural teeth and there are two types of common materials used to make them: composite resin or porcelain veneers.
Porcelain is the more preferred material used here at Gentle Dentist Ashgrove because it is a strong, ceramic-based material. In addition, porcelain is more natural looking and provides a closer colour match to your surrounding teeth. Composite resin provides a stable restoration and is commonly used for fillings, and is usually less expensive.
Veneers can be used to instantly correct appearance of
- Chipped tooth enamel
- Deep stains on teeth
- Misshaped or uneven teeth
- Crooked or gapped teeth
How much do dental veneers cost?
The average cost for a porcelain veneer in Australia is around $1,300, and for a composite veneer, the average cost in Australia may be around $500. However, this is just a guide and you really need to book a consultation to find out the cost of veneers to suit your individual needs.
The first step you should take to make your quality veneers easier on your budget is contact your insurance company. Although many insurance companies don’t fully cover cosmetic procedures, some may be able to pay a percentage of it. High quality dental work is worth paying extra for.

Or if you’ve been in some sort of accident that’s disfigured your teeth, it might be worth mentioning it to your insurance company as they may cover the entire cost if the damage is a result of an accident.
The rates for veneers done by quality cosmetic dentists can vary quite a lot, but remember you usually get what you pay for and you should choose a dentist who is experienced and can show you examples of their work.
