Not always. The amount of preparation needed depends on your teeth and the type of veneers being planned.

In many cases, only a very small amount of enamel is adjusted so the veneer sits naturally and comfortably. Some patients may even be suitable for minimal-preparation veneers.

Before any treatment begins, your dentist will carefully assess your teeth and explain exactly what would be required, so you feel fully informed and comfortable with the plan.

The cost of veneers in Australia can vary depending on a few factors, such as the material used and the number of veneers required. Generally you’ll need enough veneers to completely cover your smile line, and a common smile line comprises of six teeth (though wider smiles may encompass eight or more teeth).

During your Smile Design Consultation, our friendly cosmetic dentistry team will provide you with a detailed estimate of the cost based on your specific treatment needs.

Dental veneers are a great option for anyone looking to improve the look and brightness of their smile, and who want a relatively straightforward procedure to get there. Happy patients often talk about how veneers helped them with their self-confidence and made them feel like they could finally smile again.

This question is tricky to answer on our website because it very much depends on your budget, your unique needs and the goals you have for your smile.

As a rule of thumb, porcelain veneers are considered the superior option, with composite resin the next best (composite veneers can also be installed in just one visit). Porcelain usually comes at a higher cost, but patients often prefer the look and feel compared to composite.

Still, it’s all about you. We’ll talk about what will work for you best when you come in for your initial veneers consultation.

It’s possible that your mouth will feel a bit different after your veneers…but in a good way!

The reason you’re seeking out veneers treatment is to treat an issue, perhaps misaligned teeth, gaps, cracks, etc. Veneers will help to improve that problem and renew your confidence in your smile, which may naturally feel a bit different at first. After all, you’ve finally got the smile you’ve been waiting for.

But, just like it would if you got new glasses or shoes, it won’t take long for the new you to feel totally normal.

We offer a variety of flexible payment plans for dental veneers. Here you can spread out the cost of your treatment, paying in simple, manageable monthly instalments. We offer both zero- and low-interest options, depending on your budget.

Financing programs are also available, allowing you to finance the cost of dental veneers through reputable third-party financing companies. These programs often provide competitive rates and flexible repayment terms, simplifying the management of your treatment costs.

Dental insurance plans sometimes cover cosmetic dentistry treatment, including veneers. If you’re not sure what your insurance will cover, chat with us during your Smile Design Consultation and we’ll walk you through it.

A natural result is one of the most important parts of veneer treatment.

Modern veneers are designed to mimic the subtle colour, texture and translucency of natural teeth.  Having an in house ceramacist allows for personalised results as the ceramist is able to match the colour of your teeth on site and in person. Rather than creating a “one-size-fits-all” look, your smile is carefully planned to suit your face, smile shape and existing teeth.

The aim is for your veneers to blend naturally with your smile so they look like your own teeth, just improved.

Veneers are designed to be a long-lasting solution, but their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as the material used, oral hygiene and everyday habits.

Porcelain veneers often last many years when well cared for, while composite veneers may require maintenance or replacement sooner.

Regular dental check-ups and good home care can help keep your veneers looking and functioning well for as long as possible.

Like any dental procedure, veneers come with some potential risks, which your dentist will discuss with you beforehand.

These may include temporary sensitivity, wear or chipping over time, or the possibility that a veneer may eventually need repair or replacement.

A thorough assessment and careful planning help reduce these risks and ensure veneers are a suitable option for you.
