A full set of porcelain veneers costs between R80,000 and R150,000, while composite veneers range from R45,000 to R80,000, depending on the number of teeth and materials used.

How many veneers are in a full set?

A full set usually consists of 6 to 10 veneers, covering the teeth most visible when smiling.

Are veneers a permanent solution?

While porcelain veneers are long-lasting (up to 15 years), they may need replacing after wear or damage. Composite veneers require more frequent maintenance.

Do medical aids cover veneers in South Africa?

Veneers are generally considered a cosmetic procedure, and most medical aids do not cover them. It’s important to confirm with your provider.

Can I get a partial set of veneers?

Yes, some patients choose to get veneers only for their upper or lower teeth, or for just a few visible teeth, to reduce costs.

Porcelain veneers, known for their durability and natural appearance, are on the higher end, while composite veneers are more affordable but may require more frequent maintenance.

Veneers are often chosen for cosmetic purposes to improve tooth shape, size, and color.

Factors Influencing Veneer Prices:

1. Material:

• Porcelain Veneers: Cost R8,000 to R10,000 per tooth. These are more durable and resistant to staining, providing a long-lasting, natural smile.
• Composite Veneers: Cost R4,500 to R7,000 per tooth. While more affordable, they may require replacing sooner due to wear and staining over time.

2. Number of Veneers Needed:

• The more teeth treated, the higher the overall cost. Some patients choose only a few veneers for visible teeth, while others opt for full smile makeovers.

3. Procedure Complexity:

• Corrective treatments like gum contouring, tooth reshaping, or whitening can add to the total cost.

4. Location of the Clinic:

• Clinics in major cities may charge more due to higher demand and overhead costs.

Why Choose Veneers?

1. Aesthetic Appeal: Veneers can instantly transform your smile by correcting issues such as discoloration, gaps, misaligned teeth, and irregular shapes.
2. Durability: Porcelain veneers, in particular, are long-lasting, often remaining in excellent condition for over a decade with proper care.
3. Quick Results: Veneers offer a fast solution to smile imperfections, with the process typically completed in two to three visits.

The Process of Getting Veneers

1. Consultation: During this initial visit, the dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals, suggesting whether veneers are the right option.
2. Preparation: A small amount of enamel may be removed to make space for the veneer. Impressions of your teeth are taken to custom-create the veneer.
3. Application: In a subsequent appointment, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, providing an instant aesthetic transformation.

FAQs

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, while composite veneers typically last 5 to 7 years with proper care.

Are veneers covered by medical aid?

Most medical aids do not cover veneers since they are classified as a cosmetic procedure. It’s essential to check with your provider for specific coverage details.

Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
