Under what circumstances would dental insurance cover the cost of veneers?

Since it's cosmetic, I heard that insurance doesn't foot the bill. But if the need for veneers goes beyond cosmetic, how does one qualify for insurance to cover some/all?

Under what circumstances would dental insurance cover the cost of veneers?
Insurance will pay a portion of porcelain restorations if there is decay or broken parts of a front tooth (usually 50%).





If they are purely cosmetic and no clinical reason exists, you will not have any insurance benefit. Good quality veneers cost at least $1000 each.





It would be a good idea to have your dental office pre-authorize the treatment with your insurance company. They will send x-rays and other documentation showing the underwriters why there is a need for coverage of the tooth.
Reply:INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER VENEERS. INSURANCE COVERS CROWN, WHICH CAN BE PORCELAIN. THEY HAVE FINANCING FOR VENEERS.....WHICH COST AROUND $650 PER VENEER.
Reply:Needing veneers? I don't think there is such a thing. Either call your insurance company or talk to your dentist's office.
