# Composite Veneers — UK price comparison

## Quick answer

Composite veneers typically cost £150–£400 per tooth in the UK. The dentist covers the whole front surface of the tooth with sculpted, tooth-coloured resin — a full-coverage version of composite bonding — usually in a single visit, normally without drilling healthy enamel, and reversibly. A typical 6–10 tooth case runs £1,200–£4,000, roughly a third of the equivalent porcelain price. They last around 5–7 years and pick up stain sooner than porcelain, but are easily repaired and re-polished. Cosmetic veneers are never NHS-funded, and only GDC-registered dental professionals may provide them.

## Key facts

- Typical private cost: £150–£400
- Typical UK cost: £150–£400 per tooth; a 6–10 tooth case roughly £1,200–£4,000
- Usually a single visit, drill-free and reversible — no permanent enamel removal in most cases
- Last around 5–7 years; re-polishing and repairs keep them looking fresh
- Stain faster than porcelain — coffee, red wine and smoking dull the finish
- Whiten before treatment: composite is shade-matched at placement and doesn't bleach
- Never NHS-funded for cosmetic reasons; GDC-registered professionals only
