Veneers are made up of a very thin layer of tooth-coloured porcelain bonded over your own natural tooth to improve its aesthetics or to protect its damaged surface.

In addition, there are advanced placement procedures which can impact the cost of veneers. For example, no-prep veneers or CEREC® fabricated veneers often carry a higher price tag.
