Three clinical steps to a natural veneer smile

  1. 3D Digital Smile Design & trial mock-upYour cosmetic dentist scans your teeth in 3D and places a temporary 'trial smile' over your untouched enamel so you can verify tooth length, shade and speech before committing.
  2. Conservative 0.3 mm enamel prep (or zero-prep)For E.max and porcelain veneers, only 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm of outer enamel is micro-contoured (or zero drilling for additive no-prep veneers) and you wear bespoke temporaries while the ceramist crafts your shells.
  3. Adhesive bonding & 20% Form Med 2 certificateAfter you approve each ceramic veneer at the try-in stage, they are permanently bonded under rubber dam isolation and your clinic issues your signed Form Med 2 tax relief receipt.

Questions patients ask before booking veneers

How much do veneers cost in Ireland in 2026?

In Ireland, laboratory-crafted feldspathic porcelain veneers cost €650 to €950 per tooth, ultra-thin E.max lithium disilicate veneers cost €750 to €1,050 per tooth, and composite veneers cost €250 to €420 per tooth. For a 6-tooth upper E.max smile makeover, clinics charge €4,300 to €6,000 gross — which reduces to €3,440 to €4,800 net after claiming 20% Revenue Form Med 2 tax relief.

Do porcelain and E.max veneers qualify for 20% Form Med 2 tax relief?

Yes. Under Revenue's Health Expenses rules (Tax and Duty Manual Part 15-01-12), laboratory-fabricated crowns and porcelain/E.max veneers qualify for 20% income tax relief on Form Med 2 when restoring worn, fractured, peg-shaped or structurally compromised teeth. Purely cosmetic chairside composite bonding is excluded from Med 2.

What is the difference between E.max veneers, feldspathic porcelain and composite?

Composite veneers (€250 to €420/tooth) are sculpted from nano-hybrid resin in one visit with zero drilling and last 5 to 8 years. Feldspathic porcelain veneers (€650 to €950/tooth) are hand-layered ceramic shells lasting 12 to 15 years. E.max veneers (€750 to €1,050/tooth) are pressed or milled from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic down to 0.3 mm thickness, delivering 360–400 MPa flexural strength and a 15+ year clinical lifespan.

How many veneers do I need for a full smile makeover — 6, 8 or 10?

Four veneers cover the central and lateral incisors (ideal for closing a midline gap or widening peg laterals after whitening). Six veneers cover canine-to-canine across the front arch. Eight or ten upper veneers include the first and second premolars so the side buccal corridors match seamlessly when you laugh wide.

Do Irish dentists shave your teeth down to pegs for veneers?

No. Ethical Dental Council-registered dentists in Ireland never grind healthy teeth down to aggressive crown pegs ('shark teeth') for veneers. Modern 0.3 mm E.max veneers require only micro-minimal smoothing within the outer enamel layer — and additive no-prep veneers require zero drilling when teeth are naturally small or spaced.

Can I preview my new veneers in my mouth before any tooth prep starts?

Yes. Using Digital Smile Design (DSD) and an intraoral 3D scan (€250 to €450, often included in 6–10 tooth packages), your dentist transfers a temporary composite 'trial smile' over your untouched teeth so you can approve the exact tooth length, symmetry and shade before anything is prepared.
