How Much Do Veneers Cost in the UK? (2026 Prices per Tooth)
Last updated 29 September 2026
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their colour or shape. They're priced per tooth, and the material makes the biggest difference: composite veneers cost less than half as much as porcelain.
Quick answer: a composite veneer typically costs £350 per tooth, and most practices charge £296 to £432. A porcelain veneer typically costs £782 per tooth, and most charge £650 to £969. These figures come from 52 practices that publish a composite veneer price and 100 that publish a porcelain one.

Composite is a tooth-coloured resin shaped directly on your teeth. Porcelain veneers are made by a lab and are more resistant to staining. E.max is a common type of porcelain veneer: 18 practices we list name it specifically, and their prices run from £490 to £1,280 per tooth.
How much does a set of veneers cost?
Most people get veneers on the teeth that show when they smile, often six or eight on the top row. Using the typical prices per tooth:
| Number of teeth | Composite, at £350 each | Porcelain, at £782 each |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | £350 | £782 |
| 4 | £1,400 | £3,128 |
| 6 | £2,100 | £4,692 |
| 8 | £2,800 | £6,256 |
| 10 | £3,500 | £7,820 |
These are worked out from the typical single-tooth price, not quotes. Some practices offer a lower price per tooth when you have several done, so ask.

What actually drives the price difference
- Material. Porcelain costs roughly twice as much as composite per tooth.
- Number of teeth. Veneers are priced per tooth, so the total depends on how many you need.
- Preparation. Porcelain veneers usually need some enamel removed and a temporary set while the lab makes them, which is part of why they cost more.
- Who does the work. Cosmetic dentists with a long portfolio of smile makeovers often charge more.
Veneers or composite bonding?
Composite bonding adds resin to part of a tooth, for example to fix a chip or close a small gap, and it typically costs £250 per tooth. A composite veneer covers the whole front of the tooth, so it costs more. Our composite bonding cost guide has those prices. If your teeth are healthy but discoloured, teeth whitening is the cheaper place to start.
Are veneers available on the NHS?
Rarely. Veneers are usually a cosmetic treatment, so they're almost always paid for privately.
