Does my Dental Insurance Cover Veneers?
Answer:
Veneers are most often considered
cosmetic dentistry. And, most cosmetic dentistry such as dental implants, teeth whitening, and veneers are not covered by dental insurance.

Dental insurance usually provides you with basic dental coverage. Some dental plans provide limited benefits for orthodontic procedures such as braces. Veneers are usually considered to be an elective cosmetic procedure can cost over $1,000 and are not covered under most dental insurance plans.
 
Under extreme circumstances, such as an injury, your medical insurance may have a provision for covering the repair of an injury. In this case, contact your health insurance provider to find out if your insurance company has such a provision and, if so, ask how you need to submit your claim.

If you want veneers, consult with your dentist regarding the cost. Perhaps your dentist is able to offer you financing through his or her office. Third party financing, through such companies as DentalFeePlan and Care Credit is also available. You may want to check with your local credit union for financing at a lower interest rate. And, you can always pay cash up front – and have a new smile that is paid for!
