Can Insurance Cover Any of the Costs of Porcelain Veneers?

Tetracycline Staining is not considered a disease by insurance companies, but rather a cosmetic issue only.  For this reason you would not get any insurance coverage for your veneers.  

Hi:Normally insurance does not cover veneers for cosmetic reasons.  Tetracycline stain would be consider cosmetic treatment.Best,Dr. Maddahi

In 26 years I have definitely
treated a lot of tetracycline cases a lot of tetracycline stained teeth with
porcelain veneers and have ended up with patients that have had life changing
experiences and have said that every penny was worth it.Unfortunately insurance has not been very
much help with us. Tetracycline stain is
not really considered a disease its really more of an aesthetic issue…and
unfortunately there’s not a lot of coverage for that so expect to pay out of
pocket but if its done well its so worth your weight in gold.

Some insurance plan will cover this procedure some will not. It is best to have your dentist submit a predetermination to the insurance company.

This way you will know ahead of time if you will receive any coverage.

If you have previous restorations, decay or chipping on certain teeth then you may be eligible for coverage.

Dental benefit plans, unlike medical insurance, are designed to help defray some of the cost of your dental care.  Dental plan providers place limits and restrictions on how the benefits can be used.

Dental plans do not usually cover cosmetic procedures.  Tetracycline staining is a side effect, not a disease.  Veneers in this case, as in most instances, would be considered cosmetic and not a covered benefit.  To be sure, have your dental office submit a pre-determination of benefits to verify benefit eligibility.
