what is the average price per veneer I have been quoted 900 am i being ripped off

Q. Hi there.I am currently undergoing Cosmetic dentistry with the possibility of 10 veneers. I was first quoted a price of £395 per tooth as per the dentist website, it went up to £800 per tooth and today I’ve been told the price will be £900 per veneer. Am I being ripped off? What is the average price per veneer? I have already commenced treatment with one temporary veneer. Many thanks P

A. Dear P

At this stage you have committed to no treatment so it is time to get a written treatment plan with costings.
If this falls outside your budget then you can seek treatment elsewhere.
The average price of a veneer varies hugely depending on the quality of the porcelain ceramist utilised to create the porcelain for the veneers.

However £395 does sound very cheap and I would want to see examples of the results created by that type of veneer before committing to it
