At smilogy’s Edgecliff and Castle Hill clinics in Sydney, porcelain veneers start from $6,300 per smile<\/strong>, with the final price depending on how many teeth are involved and how complex the design is. Your exact cost is confirmed at your Cosmetic Smile Design\u2122 consultation, before any treatment begins.<\/p>\n

Veneer pricing can be confusing because some clinics quote per tooth and others quote per smile. This guide explains how smilogy prices veneers, what the process includes, what pushes the cost up or down, and how porcelain compares with composite.<\/p>\n

How smilogy prices porcelain veneers<\/h2>\n

Rather than a single per-tooth figure, smilogy prices porcelain veneers as a smile-design case. Our Edgecliff veneers<\/a> and Castle Hill veneers<\/a> pages list veneers from $6,300 per smile, case-dependent<\/strong>. We don’t publish a per-tooth price online, because the right number of veneers, and the work involved, varies from one person to the next.<\/p>\n

That’s why every veneer case starts with a plan. Once your dentist has scanned your teeth and mapped out the design, you’ll have the full cost confirmed before you decide to go ahead.<\/p>\n

What’s included in the veneer process<\/h2>\n

Every porcelain veneer case at smilogy follows the same four steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Scan:<\/strong> a digital scan and photos capture your current smile, with no impression trays.<\/li>\n
  2. Design:<\/strong> your Cosmetic Smile Design\u2122 plan maps out shape, shade and alignment.<\/li>\n
  3. Preview:<\/strong> you see a digital preview of your projected result before you decide.<\/li>\n
  4. Place:<\/strong> your porcelain veneers are made through an Australian laboratory partner, then fitted and adjusted for your bite.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A digital preview gives you a good idea of your projected result, but it’s a guide rather than an exact copy of the finished smile. Your dentist will talk through what’s realistic for your teeth.<\/p>\n

    What affects the price of porcelain veneers?<\/h2>\n

    Number of teeth<\/h3>\n

    This is the biggest factor. Some people want one or two teeth corrected. Others plan veneers across the teeth that show when they smile. More veneers means more lab work and more chair time.<\/p>\n

    Design complexity<\/h3>\n

    Closing gaps, changing tooth length or correcting shape and alignment takes more planning than a simple shade change.<\/p>\n

    Tooth preparation<\/h3>\n

    Some tooth preparation is usually needed. Where it’s clinically suitable, your dentist can discuss minimal-prep options that preserve more of your natural tooth.<\/p>\n

    Other treatment first<\/h3>\n

    If you have decay, gum problems or worn fillings, these usually need to be managed before veneers are placed. Your dentist will explain and quote any extra treatment separately.<\/p>\n

    Combining treatments<\/h3>\n

    Veneers are often one part of a bigger plan. A smile makeover<\/a> at smilogy starts from $5,850 and may combine treatments such as veneers, whitening and clear aligners, depending on your goals. In some cases, whitening or aligners may be part or all of the answer, which changes the cost.<\/p>\n

    Porcelain vs composite veneers<\/h2>\n

    Veneers come in two main types, and they’re priced very differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    <\/th>\nPorcelain veneers<\/th>\nComposite veneers<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    How they’re made<\/td>\nCustom-made in a lab from your scan<\/td>\nTooth-coloured resin shaped directly on the tooth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Staining<\/td>\nPorcelain resists staining and holds its shade well over time<\/td>\nResin can pick up stains and may need polishing or touch-ups<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Durability<\/td>\nWith good care, commonly last well over a decade<\/td>\nGenerally need repair or replacement sooner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Upfront cost<\/td>\nHigher<\/td>\nUsually lower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Neither option is right for everyone. Read our full comparison in what are composite veneers? porcelain vs composite compared<\/a>, or our overview everything you need to know about porcelain veneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Can you claim veneers on your health fund?<\/h2>\n

    Veneers are usually classed as cosmetic, so health fund cover varies a lot by fund and policy. Some policies pay nothing towards them. If any part of your treatment is eligible, we can claim on the spot through HICAPS so you only pay the gap. See our private health cover page<\/a> for how that works.<\/p>\n

    Payment plan options<\/a> may be available for eligible treatment, including in-house plans for larger cases. Ask at your consultation.<\/p>\n
