Hand-Crafted in Our Own Lab, Priced Honestly From the Start
If you’ve searched this more than once, you already know the honest answer isn’t a single number, at least not until someone’s looked at your teeth. Nationally, porcelain veneers run anywhere from $900 to $2,500 per tooth. At 5 Star Dental Group, we can give you a starting point before you ever step into the office: veneers start at $825 per tooth for E-max, or $1,584 per tooth for feldspathic porcelain, the same premium ceramic that gives veneers their natural, light-reflecting look. Give us a call, schedule a consultation, and we’ll tell you exactly where your case fits.
What Do Porcelain and E-max Veneers Cost at 5 Star Dental Group?
Nationally, the American Dental Association puts veneers anywhere from $250 to $2,500 per tooth depending on material, a range confirmed by MedicineNet’s breakdown of veneer pricing. Ours starts simpler: $825 per tooth for E-max, and $1,584 per tooth for feldspathic porcelain, which is the material Dr. Tostado and Dr. Acuña prefer for its strength and the way it mimics natural tooth enamel.
Those are starting prices, not a guaranteed final quote sight unseen. What they do include, once your case is confirmed, is everything: lab fees, local anesthesia, your final polish, bite adjustments, and the temporary veneers you wear during your design phase are all built into that per-tooth price, not billed separately as the process goes on. That price also holds steady per tooth no matter how many you’re treating, so you can multiply it yourself and know almost exactly what you’re working with before you ever sit down with us, whether that’s one tooth or a full smile.
Why Might Your Total Look Different From the Starting Price?
Your per-tooth starting price can move depending on what your mouth needs before veneers are even part of the conversation. If your gums need reshaping so your smile line sits even, that’s priced case by case, running up to about $2,000 for a full gumline. If your natural teeth need whitening so they match the shade of your new veneers, that’s around $599 in-office with custom trays included, or $399 for a take-home kit. And if your teeth need straightening first, which sometimes changes the whole veneer plan, we offer SureSmile clear aligners, generally $3,800 to $5,700 depending on your case.
None of this is guesswork on our end. Your consultation includes a $500 records fee for your photos, scans, and treatment plan, which is where your starting price becomes an actual number. It’s non-refundable, but it isn’t a throwaway cost either. It’s applied directly toward your veneers as a deposit once you move forward, so it works more like a down payment than a separate charge.
How Long Will Your Veneers Actually Last?
Your veneers aren’t indestructible, and we won’t tell you otherwise. Most patients are looking at a maintenance visit around the five-year mark, and well-maintained cases commonly perform well for ten to twenty years. We also back the work with a five-year warranty that tapers over time, covering the full cost early on and reducing by twenty percent each year, so you’re never left guessing what happens if something chips down the road.
E-max veneers, starting at $825 per tooth, are our more budget-friendly option, while feldspathic porcelain, starting at $1,584 per tooth, tends to hold up longest and most closely matches natural enamel. Dr. Tostado and Dr. Acuña will walk you through which material actually fits your teeth and your needs, not just your budget.
How Do You Pay for Veneers Without Draining Your Savings?
Dental insurance almost never covers veneers since they’re considered cosmetic, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck paying it all upfront. We work with CareCredit and Cherry, two financing partners that let you spread your total across monthly payments, and both let you check pre-qualification online before you ever set foot in the office. Our payment and financing page walks through insurance, financing, and our in-house membership plan side by side, so you can pick what actually works for you.
Your Consultation at 5 Star Dental Group
You’ll start by talking with Dr. Tostado or Dr. Acuña about what’s bothering you and what you’re hoping to see once it’s fixed. From there, your $500 records fee covers photos and a digital scan so we can map your case and show you roughly where you’re headed before a single tool touches your teeth. If prep is needed, a small amount of enamel comes off and you’ll wear the temporary veneers already built into your price while your permanent set is hand-crafted in our on-site lab. When the real ones are ready, you try them on before anything is bonded. If something’s off, it gets adjusted or remade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a discount for a full set of veneers?
No. Our per-tooth price stays the same whether you’re treating one tooth or a full arch, so there’s no hidden markup to worry about on a bulk package.
Does the quoted price include everything, or are there extra fees later?
Everything is included in your per-tooth price, including lab fees, anesthesia, your final polish, bite adjustments, and the temporary veneers you wear during your design phase. The one separate item is the $500 records fee for your initial photos and scans, which is applied toward your treatment once you move forward.
What’s the difference between E-max and feldspathic porcelain?
E-max starts at $825 per tooth and is a good fit for smaller corrections or a tighter budget. Feldspathic porcelain starts at $1,584 per tooth. It’s more durable and closely mimics the translucency of natural enamel, which is why Dr. Tostado and Dr. Acuña use it for most full smile cases.
How long do veneers actually last?
Expect a maintenance check around the five-year mark, with well-cared-for cases commonly lasting ten to twenty years. We also back our work with a five-year warranty that tapers by twenty percent each year.
Will I need any other treatment before I can get veneers?
Sometimes. Gum reshaping, whitening to match your veneer shade, or orthodontic alignment beforehand are all common, and each is priced separately from your per-tooth veneer cost.
Does dental insurance cover any of this?
Almost never, since veneers are classified as cosmetic. Some plans help if a veneer is replacing a damaged tooth rather than purely improving its appearance, which is worth asking about at your visit.
