Is replacing damaged/bad veneers covered by insurance?

Question

Hello, After 3 yrs of getting veneers, I started suffering from constant bleeding in my gum. whenever i eat or brush my teeth my gum bleeds heavily. I also noticed discoloration under the veneers and bad breath since i got them. I am also unable to bite on anything since 3 yrs. I feel emotionally damaged and lost my self confidence and want to replace them just to restore the normal function of my teeth. But, I can't afford those high prices :( will it be covered by my insurance? Regards

You will be hard pressed to get much coverage as they are only three years old.  I would see a periodontist do assess your gums.  It is not ideal for them to chronically bleed.  Good luck.

one more option for u is DENTAL TOURISM INDIA. no need to consider insurance, as u will save upto 70% on your total treatment costing. dental tourism is very popular for cosmetic dental procedures , as when these treatments are very expensive in yr home country.

Most Insurance plans do have a clause that if they were the company that paid for the initial veneers; they usually have a 5-10 year wait to replace them. Again it depends on your plan.

Amber Garcia, DDS · Answer

Typically veneers aren't covered by insurance. If they were covered by your insurance when they were first placed, it's unlikely your insurance will cover them again 5-10 years. Definitely discuss your concerns with your dentist so they can be addressed.

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to answer this is with an in-person evaluation where you can go over your options, price of the veneers and possible insurance coverage. I recommend getting a consultation with a Prosthodontist, who can discuss with you the different types of veneers.  A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental veneers.
