Most dentists order custom-made veneers from dental labs. The labs use an impression of patients' teeth to fabricate the veneers. This process takes time, and the dentist will send the patient home with a temporary veneer.

How much do veneers cost?

Whether veneers are worth the cost ultimately depends on the person investing in them. However, if you need cold hard figures then the National Dental Survey suggests that anywhere between $860 and $2000 per tooth is about right.

Do all dentists do veneers?

Many dental professionals offer veneers treatment, including general dentists, cosmetic dentists and some orthodontists. Endodontists, periodontists and oral surgeons do not typically offer veneers.
