One of the first treatment options for diastemas (gaps between teeth) is orthodontics, but the downside of this option is treatment can take one to two years and costs can come in at a price between 10,000 to 20,000 Yuan. That is why many patients now choose veneers over orthodontics. So how much do veneers cost and how many do you need?

Many people have problems with gaps between their teeth in particularly those who have several gaps which are rather large, for example a gap between the front teeth. In this type of situation it is often recommended to patients who want the gaps repaired instantaneously that veneers are the best option. But just how much are the costs?  

How Many Veneers are Needed?

The number of veneers needed will depend on the patient’s requirement. If the gap is big and the shape and shade of the teeth are normal then only two veneers for the front teeth are needed. By making the veneers slightly larger than the front teeth this can cover the diastemas. For those who are worried that two veneers won’t have good results they can decide to have four veneers fitted. For the perfect smile patients can choose to have veneers fitted on the teeth that are on show when they smile.

How Much Do Veneers Cost?

The costs of veneers are based on the number of veneers you get fitted and also the materials you choose, there is a big price difference between composite resin veneers and porcelain veneers. Composite resin veneers have costs starting at over 1,000 Yuan whereas porcelain veneer costs start at 3,000 to 4,000 Yuan. The price of veneers are based on per tooth.

For those who are interested in getting veneers it’s best to book an appointment and consultation with a professional dentist and you can ask for more advice about your options and the types of veneers that fit into your budget.
