Although, some insurances do pay for cosmetic veneers, if it can be proved, that a veneer is more appropriate treatment than any other procedure. Basically it works like this: tooth - veneer - this approach is cheaper than this one: tooth - filling - root canal - post - crown - extraction - implant. So, if this approach is presented to the insurance company they might pay for it (again, only if this procedure in the insurance's policy).

Most likely if it's not cosmetic the insurance company will pay part of it...again though, it depends on your plan. Get with your dentist and they can check it out for you. You can try also but it's really better if they do since they would know the extent of what needs to be done and also all of the procedure and diagnosis codes that insurance companies use for billing purposes.
