Veneers Cost in Singapore (2026)
Medically reviewed by Dr Matthew Sng ·
Composite veneers cost S$250 to S$450 per tooth at Advanced Dental, shaped directly on the tooth in a single visit. Porcelain and ceramic veneers cost S$1,100 to S$1,500 per tooth with a general dentist, or S$1,350 to S$1,750 with a specialist — each veneer is custom-made in a dental laboratory and bonded at a fitting visit, so the process spans two appointments or so. Veneers are priced per tooth, and the total scales with the number of teeth treated: a single chipped incisor is a very different budget from a set of four or six upper front teeth. The tables below draw from our live 2026 fee schedule; further down you will find worked examples by tooth count, what is included and what is charged separately, and how veneers sit against whitening and braces on price.
Composite veneers
| Treatment | Typical fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Composite Veneer/Onlay/Inlay | $250 to $450 |
Shaped directly on the tooth by the dentist and completed in a single visit.
Porcelain and ceramic veneers
| Treatment | General dentist | Specialist |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed prosthesis - full metal or porcelain fused to metal (per unit) | $1000 to $1400 | $1150 to $1350 |
| Fixed prosthesis - full porcelain or zirconia (per unit) | $1100 to $1500 | $1350 to $1750 |
| Provisional prosthesis (per unit) | $200 | Same fee |
The fee schedule groups veneers with crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays as fixed prostheses — the per-unit fee is shared across them. A provisional protects the prepared tooth while the laboratory makes the final veneer.
Sometimes done alongside
| Treatment | Typical fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Take-home whitening | S$400 | Whitening done at home with a kit from the clinic. |
| Chairside whitening | S$900 | Whitening done at the clinic in a single visit. |
A veneer's colour is set when it is fabricated and does not change with later whitening — so where whitening is part of the plan, it is done first and the veneer shade is matched to the result.
Prices are indicative and based on normal case complexity. A consultation is required for a definitive quote.
Composite vs porcelain — where the cost difference comes from
A composite veneer is built by the dentist in the chair: resin is layered onto the tooth surface, shaped and polished in a single appointment. The S$250–450 fee covers the material and the dentist's time, and nothing is sent out of the clinic.
A porcelain or ceramic veneer is a laboratory-made item. The tooth is prepared and scanned or impressed at the first visit, a dental technician fabricates the veneer, and it is bonded at a second visit — with a provisional (S$200 per unit) protecting the tooth in between where needed. Laboratory fabrication and the second appointment account for the difference between the two fee bands. The fee schedule groups porcelain veneers with crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays as fixed prostheses, which share the same per-unit pricing.
The trade-off works both ways: composite can chip or pick up surface stain over the years but can usually be repaired in the chair, while porcelain holds its colour and surface yet generally needs to be remade rather than patched if it fractures.
How many teeth?
Veneer fees multiply cleanly because pricing is per tooth.
- A single tooth — one chipped or discoloured incisor in composite costs S$250–450; in porcelain, S$1,100–1,500 with a general dentist.
- Four upper front teeth — composite: 4 × S$250–450 = S$1,000–1,800. Porcelain with a general dentist: 4 × S$1,100–1,500 = S$4,400–6,000; with a specialist: 4 × S$1,350–1,750 = S$5,400–7,000.
- Six front teeth in porcelain — 6 × S$1,100–1,500 = S$6,600–9,000 with a general dentist.
Not every plan needs the same material on every tooth. Some patients veneer the damaged tooth and whiten the rest so the shades line up — the dentist maps this out at consultation.
What's included and what's extra
The per-tooth fee covers the veneer itself — preparation, fabrication (for porcelain) and bonding. Around it sit a few separate line items:
- Consultation — S$20–80, payable at the first assessment visit.
- X-rays — charged separately where needed to check that the teeth being treated are sound.
- Provisional veneer — S$200 per unit, worn while the laboratory makes the final porcelain veneer.
- Whitening — S$400 (take-home) or S$900 (chairside) if you are setting a target shade before the veneers are made.
- Removal of an existing prosthesis — S$150–200 per unit, where an old veneer or crown has to come off first.
- Re-cementing a veneer made elsewhere — S$100–200 per unit.
Caring for the investment
Day-to-day care is the same as for natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss, and keep up regular check-ups so small problems are caught early. Avoid using veneered teeth as tools — opening packets, biting nails and chewing pens or ice are common causes of chips. If you grind your teeth at night, ask about a protective splint.
When damage does happen, the two materials behave differently. Composite can usually be repaired or re-polished in the chair, with the fee quoted after the dentist assesses the extent. A fractured porcelain veneer typically cannot be patched — it is removed and remade at the per-unit fee, so protecting it is worth the habit changes above.
Are veneers claimable?
No. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment, and Singapore's subsidy schemes are built around clinically necessary care.
- CHAS does not subsidise veneers — the CHAS dental schedule covers items such as fillings, extractions and dentures for eligible cardholders.
- MediSave cannot be used for veneers. MediSave covers surgical dental procedures such as wisdom-tooth surgery and implant placement, not cosmetic work.
Plan for the full fee to be paid out of pocket. Where whitening or orthodontics is part of the overall plan, the same applies to those cosmetic components.
Veneers, whitening or braces?
Veneers change the shape, size and colour of the visible tooth surface in a fixed way. Depending on what you want to change, another route may cost less:
- Colour alone — whitening at S$400 (take-home) or S$900 (chairside) treats discolouration across the whole smile at a fraction of a multi-tooth veneer plan. It suits staining rather than damage.
- Alignment or spacing — crooked or gappy front teeth are usually a job for braces or clear aligners rather than veneers. See the Invisalign price guide and the braces price guide.
- Chips, worn edges or uneven shapes — this is where veneers earn their fee.
None of these is a like-for-like substitute for the others. A consultation settles which route fits your teeth and your budget.

Veneers pricing: frequently asked questions
Are veneers priced per tooth or per set?
Per tooth. Composite veneers are S$250–450 each, and porcelain veneers S$1,100–1,500 each with a general dentist (S$1,350–1,750 with a specialist). A quote for several teeth is the per-tooth fee multiplied by the number of teeth — there is no separate per-smile package price.
How long do composite veneers last, and what does a repair cost?
With good care, composite veneers commonly serve for several years before needing attention; chips and surface staining are the usual reasons for a repair or re-polish. Because new composite bonds to existing composite, repairs are normally done in the chair without replacing the whole veneer. The repair fee depends on the size of the defect and is quoted after the dentist has assessed it.
Why do porcelain veneers cost several times as much as composite ones?
A porcelain veneer is fabricated by a dental technician in a laboratory, which adds fabrication work and a second clinical appointment for bonding — plus a provisional veneer (S$200 per unit) in between where needed. A composite veneer is completed by the dentist in a single sitting using material kept in the clinic, so the S$250–450 fee reflects chair time and materials alone.
Can you replace or re-attach a veneer that was done at another clinic?
Yes. If a veneer made elsewhere has come loose but is intact, re-cementing it costs S$100–200 per unit. If it needs to come off, removal of a prosthesis is S$150–200 per unit, and a replacement veneer is then charged at the standard per-tooth fee. The dentist will confirm which route applies after examining the tooth.
Do CHAS or MediSave cover veneers?
No. Veneers are cosmetic, so they fall outside both schemes. CHAS subsidises specified clinically necessary treatments for eligible cardholders, and MediSave is reserved for surgical dental procedures. The full fee is paid out of pocket.
Does insurance pay for veneers?
Personal health insurance in Singapore generally excludes cosmetic dentistry, so veneers are rarely covered. Some corporate or employee dental benefits provide an annual dental allowance that can be put towards any treatment, including veneers — check the terms of your plan with your insurer or HR team before booking.
Is whitening included in the veneer fee?
No — whitening is a separate treatment: S$400 for take-home whitening or S$900 for chairside whitening. Where whitening is planned, it is done before the veneers are made, because a veneer's colour is fixed at fabrication and will not change if you whiten your teeth later. The veneer shade is then matched to the whitened teeth.
How do I pay, and can the cost be spread out?
Fees are payable at each visit, so porcelain veneer treatment splits naturally across the preparation and fitting appointments. Our clinics accept the usual payment methods; if you plan to use a credit-card instalment scheme, arrange that with your card issuer.
