Yes, you can, infact you should be able to get all necessary treatment on the NHS is your dentist is willing to give it to you. It all depends on the funding the practice or dentist has agreed with their local Primary Care Trust, some dentists have been given great deals and are willing to do virtually anything, other have been given rubbish deals and will only do the basic NHS treatment, anything slightly cosmetic and you may be asked to pay for it. Your dentist should not refuse you but he may take years to complete treatment and charge you the maximum charge on each visit. Very complicated system at the moment for NHS dentists, you should really consider going private and joining one of the monthly payment plans such as Denplan. If you need cosmetic work you could pay for it with an interest free loan called 'enhance' however, if veneers are clinically necessary you could have them done to a private standard and only pay the lab fee. Bargain.

Find a dentist that provides Denplan & who will take on NHS. Have the first appointment so that they can make sure that no major work (apart from the Veneers) needs doing. They will then sign you up for Denplan. You will need to find a dentist who does Denplan Enhance. Check their website to find a dentist in your area. Once you sign up with Denplan you will have to make a payment each month. Denplan Enhance allows you to borrow the money and spread the payments over 3 years. To get Veneers on the NHS is very slim but do try talking to your Dentist and or Doctor to say that it is really affecting your life. They may suggest having the teeth removed and having screwed in dentures. All you can do is try.

How much do they cost per tooth?

I would like to think that the veneers that I place are as good as anything private. It depends on the lab that the dentist uses and the dentists skill.
Cost here in Scotland is £82.44 for the first tooth and £76.52 per tooth thereafter up to the maximum stated above.
It depends why you want the veneers and how many you need.
if it is just for mild aesthetics then I wouldn't bother. But if you have a specific problem then they may be a solution.

No. The only way you will have this done on NHS is if you have had an accident and they have chipped. If it is for cosmetic it will be private. They are about £400 each. You usually only have the front 6 veneered. However they do look amazing if you get it done at the right place. Good Luck

Yes of course you can. They cost around £90-100 per tooth.
Please remember that your dentist is only able to provide them if they are clinically necessary on the NHS. Purely cosmetic work is not provided on the NHS and your dentist may get his wrists slapped if he does.
Also I wouldnt be expecting any fantastic results as seen on makeover programmes. They can look very good on the NHS and I have done many that have turned out beatifully but remember that these people are paying thousands per tooth!
If you didnt already know, the maximum patient charge in Scotland for NHS dental treatment is £384. If treatments costs more than that, the NHS picks up the remainder.

I asked my dentist this question yesterday after he stuck a lump of gold over my scabby tooth! (back one thankfully). Veneers are only done on the NHS if they are absolutely necessary and you have got to beg and prove they are necessary, as the poster said above they won't be anything special. I asked about having them done privately and they would cost about £200 per tooth. My teeth are quite bad but i have to lump it as I don't have £1400 to get my 7 visible teeth sparkly. Good luck though.
