Short answer: In Canada, porcelain veneers typically cost about $900 to $2,500 per tooth, and composite veneers about $250 to $1,500 per tooth, based on 2026 market estimates. Six porcelain veneers typically total $5,400 to $15,000. Most dental plans and the CDCP don’t cover cosmetic veneers, and your exact price follows an exam and a written estimate.
How much do veneers cost in Canada? It depends on three things: the material, how many teeth you treat, and what needs to happen first. This guide walks through typical 2026 prices for one tooth, two front teeth, six to eight teeth, and a full smile. It also explains what drives the price, how insurance and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) treat veneers, and which lower-cost options might do the job.
At Green Apple Dental, you can book your veneers exam at our Fleetwood or Newton clinic in Surrey, and you get a written estimate before any treatment, so you know the cost upfront.
Veneers are very thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth, as the Canadian Dental Association describes them. They change the shape, colour, and size of the teeth you see when you smile.
There are two main types, and they’re priced very differently:
Traditional veneers aren’t reversible, because a thin layer of enamel is removed first. That’s why it’s worth comparing them with simpler options before you commit.
At Green Apple Dental, the veneers we offer are porcelain, and each one is made by a trusted local lab to the design you approve on screen. For a single small chip or gap, we often suggest bonding instead.
Porcelain veneers typically cost $900 to $2,500 per tooth in Canada, with an average of about $1,500. Composite veneers typically cost $250 to $1,500 per tooth, with an average of about $700. These are 2026 market estimates compiled from Canadian clinic pricing by Real Dental Costs (June 2026), an independent cost-data site, not fee-guide figures.
In British Columbia, the same source lists about $1,000 to $1,600 per porcelain veneer in the suburban Lower Mainland and the Interior, and up to about $2,300 in downtown Vancouver.
| Veneer type | Typical cost per tooth (2026) | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain | $900 to $2,500 | 10 to 15 years or longer |
| Composite | $250 to $1,500 | About 5 to 7 years |
These ranges help you budget, but they aren’t a quote. Your price depends on your teeth, your plan, and any work needed first, and you’ll see it in a written estimate after your exam.
Two porcelain veneers on your front teeth typically cost about $1,800 to $5,000 in total, and two composite veneers about $500 to $3,000, using the 2026 per-tooth ranges above. Treating just one or two teeth can make sense when a front tooth is chipped, worn, or darker than the rest.
The tricky part with one or two veneers is matching them to the natural teeth beside them. If you’d also like your other teeth brighter, we usually whiten them first and then match your veneers to the new shade, because porcelain doesn’t change colour with whitening. If it’s only a small chip, dental bonding may be all you need.
For six porcelain veneers, expect roughly $5,400 to $15,000 in total, and for six composite veneers, roughly $1,500 to $9,000. Real Dental Costs puts the average for six porcelain veneers at about $9,000.
A “full smile” usually means veneers on the upper teeth that show when you smile, often 8 to 10 teeth, depending on how wide your smile is. Some people also treat the lower teeth, which can bring the total to 16 to 20 veneers.
| Number of teeth | Porcelain (total) | Composite (total) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 tooth | $900 to $2,500 | $250 to $1,500 |
| 2 teeth | $1,800 to $5,000 | $500 to $3,000 |
| 6 teeth | $5,400 to $15,000 | $1,500 to $9,000 |
| 8 teeth | $7,200 to $20,000 | $2,000 to $12,000 |
| 10 teeth | $9,000 to $25,000 | $2,500 to $15,000 |
| 20 teeth | $18,000 to $50,000 | $5,000 to $30,000 |
The totals for 2, 8, 10, and 20 teeth are simple math: the per-tooth range multiplied by the number of teeth. Real quotes can land anywhere in these ranges, so use them to plan, then compare them with your written estimate.
The biggest factors are the material and the number of teeth, but several other things shape your final price:
Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care, the same 10-to-15-year range Cleveland Clinic gives for veneers. Composite veneers typically last about 5 to 7 years, according to Real Dental Costs. That difference changes the math.
Spread over its lifespan, an average porcelain veneer ($1,500 over 10 to 15 years) works out to roughly $100 to $150 per tooth per year. An average composite veneer ($700 over 5 to 7 years) works out to roughly $100 to $140 per tooth per year. In other words, the cheaper option isn’t always cheaper over time, and porcelain also resists stains better.
At Green Apple Dental, porcelain veneers come with a five-year warranty when you keep up your regular checkups. To protect them, brush and floss as usual, avoid biting ice, pens, or your nails with your front teeth, and wear a night guard if you grind.

Usually not. Most dental plans treat veneers as cosmetic, and the Canadian Dental Association notes that veneers are often considered cosmetic and may not be covered by your benefits plan. Our insurance and direct billing page puts it plainly: cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening or veneers are generally not covered, because they’re considered elective.
Plans differ, so check yours before you start. Our team verifies your coverage, sends pre-determinations for larger treatments, and bills your insurer directly, so you only pay the balance. If a veneer is part of repairing a damaged tooth, a pre-determination lets your plan confirm in writing what, if anything, it will pay.
No. The Canadian Dental Care Plan doesn’t cover cosmetic treatments such as whitening and veneers. Veneers aren’t on the federal government’s list of CDCP-covered services, which includes exams, cleanings, fillings, root canals, gum care, crowns (with preauthorization), dentures, and extractions.
If a front tooth is broken or decayed rather than just a cosmetic concern, ask about covered repairs such as fillings or crowns. You can still choose veneers and pay for them directly. Our Canadian Dental Care Plan page explains how we bill CDCP and what it covers.
You’ll know the full cost before anything begins, and you don’t have to pay it all at once:
If your goal is smaller, a simpler treatment may cost less and keep more of your natural tooth:
Many people combine these. A smile makeover plan can mix whitening, bonding, Invisalign, and veneers, using veneers only where they’re needed. If crowding is your main concern, our post on cosmetic dentistry for crowded teeth compares the options.
The only way to know your exact price is an exam. Here’s how it works at Green Apple Dental:

One porcelain veneer typically costs $900 to $2,500, and one composite veneer $250 to $1,500, based on 2026 market estimates from Real Dental Costs. In BC, porcelain runs about $1,000 to $2,300 per tooth.
Six porcelain veneers typically cost $5,400 to $15,000, with an average of about $9,000, and six composite veneers about $1,500 to $9,000. Your written estimate gives your exact figure.
Not always. Composite costs less upfront but typically lasts about 5 to 7 years, while porcelain lasts 10 to 15 years with care, so the yearly cost per tooth often ends up similar, at roughly $100 to $150.
Usually not, because most plans treat veneers as cosmetic and elective. Plans differ, so we can send a pre-determination to confirm in writing what your plan will pay.
No. The Canadian Dental Care Plan doesn’t cover cosmetic treatments such as whitening and veneers, but you can still choose veneers and pay for them directly.
Yes. Some people need one or two veneers, and others choose several. Two porcelain veneers typically cost $1,800 to $5,000, and careful shade matching keeps them in line with your natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers take at least two visits: one to prepare and scan your teeth, and one to fit and bond them once the lab has made them, which can take a few weeks. Your exam and smile preview come first.
Yes. Porcelain veneers at Green Apple Dental come with a five-year warranty when you keep up your regular checkups.
