Are dental veneers covered by insurance?

Unfortunately, most dental insurance plans don't cover porcelain veneers in Philadelphia because they consider them an elective cosmetic procedure. Dental plans differ significantly, and if you have questions about what your specific plan covers, our team is happy to help you navigate your coverage. 

Dental Bonding as an Alternative Treatment

Dental bonding, or composite veneers, may be a more affordable solution for restoring or enhancing your smile.

Instead of using ceramic porcelain veneers to cover cosmetic imperfections on your teeth, our dentists can use composite resin. Composite resin is the same material we use to customize tooth-colored fillings, and it can also eliminate minor cosmetic imperfections, such as:

  • Tooth staining or discoloration
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth
  • Tooth size or shape discrepancies

Composite veneers are noninvasive and provide a comfortable and affordable alternative that may help you reach your smile goals without breaking your budget.  

How to Fit Porcelain Veneers Comfortably Into Your Budget

If porcelain veneers are your ideal treatment, and cost is a concern, we can help you fit your treatment into your budget with pay-over-time options like:

  • CareCredit
  • Sunbit
  • Scratch Pay

These companies offer plans for paying for more significant treatment costs over time, and some even offer interest-free options for patients who qualify, providing a sense of financial security. 

If you have questions about your dental treatment or payment options, you can contact your trusted Philadelphia dentist at (215) 342-7718 for more information.
