Short answer: The upfront quote isn’t the whole cost. Veneers may need ongoing maintenance and replacement, with future costs (Dental Board of Australia (opens official site)), and Smartraveller warns that fixing a procedure that goes wrong can cost more (Smartraveller (opens official site)).
Risks and limitations to understand first
From healthdirect (opens official site):
- jaw pain, and a veneer cracking or falling off
- more sensitive teeth, because some enamel is removed
-
visible edges if gums shrink, and colour that can’t be changed later
-
Veneers may need ongoing maintenance and replacement, with future costs (Dental Board of Australia (opens official site)).
- The ADA advises Australians to have elective dental treatment in Australia (ADA (opens official site)).
- Medicare doesn’t cover most dental services (Department of Health (opens official site)), and your fund may not cover dental work done overseas (Union Health (opens official site)).
