Key Takeaways
- At our clinic: composite veneers THB 4,000 per tooth; all-ceramic THB 14,000; zirconia THB 15,000.
- Ceramic resists staining and lasts 10–15 years; composite typically lasts 4–8 years.
- Composite can often be done in one visit; ceramic takes about a week (ideal for a Pattaya stay).
The short answer
Choose ceramic (porcelain or zirconia) veneers if you want the most natural, stain-resistant, longest-lasting result and are treating multiple visible teeth. Choose composite if budget matters most, you are treating one or two teeth, or you want same-day results.
Durability and appearance
Ceramic veneers hold their color and translucency for 10–15 years with good care. Composite resin is more porous — it can pick up coffee, tea and wine stains and typically needs replacement or polishing within 4–8 years. Both look excellent on day one; ceramic stays that way longer.
Cost and time in Pattaya
Our official fees are THB 4,000 per tooth for composite, THB 14,000 for all-ceramic and THB 15,000 for zirconia. Composite is usually completed in a single visit. Ceramic takes 5–8 days including lab fabrication — which fits neatly into a Pattaya holiday.
The honest caveat
Fitting veneers removes a thin layer of enamel, which is not reversible. A good dentist will tell you when whitening or minor orthodontics would achieve your goal without veneers — and we do.
