Secret Veneers vs. Shiny Smile Veneers

Products and Price

Secret Veneers, a UK-based company, offers multiple versions of their snap-on veneer product.  There are three colors, two thicknesses, and three production time frames.

Since the company is based in the UK but ships worldwide, be aware that these time frames cover the time it takes to manufacture the veneers, not the time it takes to ship them.

It can be a little difficult to navigate the options, so here’s a summary with the prices as of February 2024:

• Standard clip-in veneers: (0.4mm)
  • Upper or lower only: $377.53 (14 business days), $566.93 (3-day express), $819.46 (24-hour express)
  • Full set: $503.80 (14 business days), $502.35 (3-day express), $502.35 (24-hour express)
• Premium super thin clip-in veneers: (0.2mm)
  • Upper or lower only: $566.93 (14 business days), $693.19 (3-day express), $945.72 (24-hour express)
  • Full set: $693.19 (14 business days), $819.46 (3-day express), $1,071.99 (24-hour express)

Shiny Smile Veneers, on the other hand, offers one product option available in three shades, with two production options. A top and bottom veneer set costs $570 while a single arch costs $370. It takes three to five weeks for regular production, which is included in the above price, or you can expedite it to two weeks for an extra $150.

Shiny Smile Veneers also offers payment plans. If you can’t afford to pay in one payment, you can pay in two payments with $290 down and $290 one month later for a full set, or $190 down and $190 one month later for a single upper or lower arch. The full set of veneers also has a monthly payment option where you can pay $295 down and $99 for three months.

Our veneers are made with the highest quality FDA-approved materials and take time to produce to a high standard. Our product offer may seem simpler, but it’s because we only want to give our customers the best.

Shipping and Location

Because Secret Veneers is based in the UK, not the U.S., the production time frames don’t include how long it takes to ship to the U.S.

For example, if you choose their fastest 24-hour production window or “next day” service, you still have to factor in 5 to 10 business days (two weeks) for shipping the impressions kit, plus however long it takes for your impressions to get back to them. 

The 24-hour veneers are shipped to you in two days for international orders, but other orders take an additional 5 to 10 business days to arrive. Basically, you might think you’re completing the process in a day or two, but it could realistically take weeks to months.

Shiny Smile’s regular production time is three to five weeks, or you can expedite it to two weeks for $150. For each step, please allow three to five days for transit within the U.S.

We ship internationally too, though with some differences from U.S. customers. While we offer free shipping to Canada, it only includes the impressions kit and final veneers. Canadian customers have to ship back to us their completed teeth impressions at their own expense. It’s the same policy for European customers. 

Durability and Warranty

Secret Veneers makes no claims about its products’ durability — they say it depends on how customers treat the veneers. Shiny Smile veneers, on the other hand, last up to five years with regular use.

Secret Veneers come with a 30-day warranty as standard, which covers manufacturing defects. But if the veneers don’t work for you because you didn’t provide an accurate impression or because you damaged them, you can’t send them back. But you can order a replacement arch for £99 (approx $125) at any time since the company keeps your details on file for two years.

Shiny Smile Veneers offers the industry’s only 3-years warranty as standard, which can be extended up to 30 months for $100. This covers accidental damage and loss for three free remakes, so can be 100% confident in your purchase.
