Cosmetic Veneers

A captivating smile has the power to change lives. Yet, a smile can be diminished by imperfections like stains, chips, or irregularities in teeth alignment. 

Cosmetic veneers, also referred to as dental veneers or porcelain veneers, are like works of art in the world of dentistry. These ultra-thin shells, crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain or ceramic, are custom-designed to bond to the front surface of teeth. In doing so, they conceal imperfections, creating a flawless, natural-looking smile.

Cosmetic veneers stand as the ideal remedy for an array of dental concerns, including:

  • Discolouration: Stubborn stains or discolouration that defy conventional teeth-whitening treatments find their match in veneers, restoring a luminous and uniform radiance.
  • Chips and Cracks: Teeth marred by minor chips, cracks, or fractures can undergo a breathtaking transformation, emerging with a seamless and symmetrical appearance.
  • Uneven Teeth: Irregularly shaped or misaligned teeth can be reshaped through veneers, achieving proportions that harmonise and create an appealing smile.
  • Gaps and Spaces: Veneers gracefully close gaps and spaces between teeth, obviating the need for orthodontic intervention in select cases.
  • Worn-Down Teeth: Teeth that have succumbed to the ravages of bruxism (teeth grinding) or other factors can be rejuvenated by veneers, reinstating their original length and form.

The journey to embrace cosmetic veneers typically involves several steps:

Consultation

An initial consultation is the springboard where the dentist examines oral health, discusses aesthetic aspirations and determines the suitability of veneers. This phase is enhanced by the innovative practice of digitally designing your smile and providing a simulated experience of the proposed veneers – a true “test drive” for your future smile.

Preparation

Upon approval of your smile design, a conservative amount of enamel is gently reshaped or, in some cases, left untouched on the front surface of the teeth. This preparation, minimally invasive and potentially performed under local anesthesia, creates the necessary space for veneers.

Impressions

Impressions or digital scans of the prepared teeth are taken and dispatched to our dental laboratory in South Yarra. Some of Australia’s finest technicians craft bespoke veneers matching your desired colour, shape, and size.

Temporary Veneers

Temporary veneers may be placed on the teeth while the permanent veneers are being fabricated. These temporary veneers not only protect the teeth but they are created to match your proposed future veneer design. This gives you a chance to fully assess your new smile before finalising the design

Placement

Once the final veneers are ready, the temporary ones are carefully removed, and the permanent veneers are bonded to the teeth using specialised dental adhesive. The dentist ensures a precise fit and makes necessary adjustments for comfort and aesthetics.

Opting for cosmetic veneers presents a myriad of advantages:

  • Natural Aesthetics: Veneers are artfully designed to replicate the appearance of natural teeth, imparting a striking yet seamlessly integrated enhancement.
  • Versatility: Veneers can address a wide spectrum of cosmetic concerns, orchestrating a comprehensive transformation of your smile.
  • Minimally Invasive: Compared with other dental procedures, veneers entail minimal enamel removal, preserving the integrity of your teeth structure.
  • Durability: Porcelain veneers exhibit exceptional durability and resistance to staining, ensuring long-lasting results that maintain their brilliance.
  • Instant Transformation: Veneers offer a relatively swift and dramatic metamorphosis, often requiring only a few appointments to unveil your newly refined smile.

Caring for your veneers is straightforward and similar to regular oral hygiene practices. Diligent brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental check-ups will safeguard your veneers’ enduring vibrancy and longevity. 

Your smile is an investment that rewards you with confidence and grace, leaving an everlasting impression on the canvas of life.
