Porcelain Veneers

Choosing Your New Gorgeous Smile

Want to transform the shape and colour of your smile? Porcelain veneers could be the perfect solution. Veneers give you the power to choose what your smile looks like. They cover the front of each front tooth. This includes its shape and shade of white. Check out our Before & After page for some of our magic cosmetic work.

What are porcelain veneers?

Dental veneers are thin porcelain masks for your teeth. A veneer bonds to a tooth's front surface, covering the front completely. Each porcelain veneer layer is processed from full-ceramic vita, zirconia or e-max material. These types of veneers bond to individual teeth with a resin cement. This ensures a strong attachment and a natural looking smile. Learn more about dental veneers by watching Leah Johnson’s journey below!

Who is suitable for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are suitable for most people. They're ideal for patients who want to change the look of their smile. This could be the shape of the tooth structure or the colour of their teeth. Dental veneers also provide a permanently white smile. Wondering if dental veneers are right for you? Book a cosmetic consultation with a dentist from Gorgeous Smiles.

During the consultation, one of our specialists will assess your teeth. In some cases, depending on your oral health, veneers may not be suitable. For example, if you have severe gum disease, our dentist wouldn’t recommend putting veneers on your teeth. Your gums’ health is always a priority.

Our Melbourne dentists may recommend dental veneers in these scenarios:

Large spaces between front teeth

Old veneers are broken or chipped

Broken front teeth

Crowded front teeth

Heavily stained or discoloured teeth

Permanently stained natural teeth from childhood antibiotics.

Our Porcelain Veneers treatment

At Gorgeous Smiles, we can do your veneers in just one appointment. We have a digital scanner and 3D printer in-house. This allows us to get your teeth veneers ready in a few hours. And we can find the right shade of white teeth with our digital colour scanner. It scans your smile to match dental veneers with your existing teeth. This maximises aesthetics after the procedure.

How much do teeth veneers cost?

Porcelain veneers are attached to an individual tooth surface. So the cost of the treatment will rise per tooth. This means the treatment can cost a few thousand dollars. However, teeth veneers are commonly made only for the front few teeth. And we make sure the material for each veneer is high-quality and budget-friendly.

The cost of a patient's porcelain veneers will depend on their teeth and smile goals. We'll give you a quote during your consultation. We're also happy to provide affordable and accessible dental care to people. Find the best payment plan option for you here

Frequently Asked Questions

Are veneers permanent?

Dental veneers aren't permanent. But they are a long-lasting solution. A veneer bonds to the surface of the tooth with a resin cement. This process means veneers can last for many years. But each porcelain veneer won't stay on forever. A veneer layer can come. Or tooth veneers may break. In these cases, a patient will need to see their dentist to order a replacement.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

It really depends on your body, biology and tooth structure. The average life of dental veneers is around 10-15 years. That being said, we’ve had patients who have had them longer on their existing teeth. They've had teeth veneers for over 27 years and are still happy with the appearance.

How many appointments will I need?

Only one. Our no prep veneers are quick to apply. With our in-house lab, we don't need to order veneers. We create porcelain veneers during the same appointment. However, you'll need to have a consultation before your dentist appointment. We'll take you through the treatment planning and show examples of your new smile.

Are dental veneers worth it?

That depends on the new smile you want. Composite resin veneers and porcelain veneers can be costly. But veneers can completely transform your smile. They can mask tooth structure, change teeth shape, and offer a new colour. Veneers have become a popular name for changing the appearance of a smile. They may be a thin layer on the surface of teeth, but a veneer can last for decades. If you're not sure, chat with a friendly dentist at our clinic.

Do tooth veneers ruin your teeth?

The damage is extremely minimal. It is less than a minor filling you had when you were a child. Veneers are thin and custom made. They sit on your teeth and don't damage teeth structure. Even with worn teeth, porcelain veneers won't affect your good oral health. Your dentist will ensure your existing teeth are protected and the look of your smile is gorgeous.

Can I choose the appearance of my veneers?

Each veneer is custom made by our dentist. We'll suggest the best shape, appearance and colour. Whether you want a good look to hide gum recession or just change how your teeth appear. Your dentist may offer a few options. This helps patients get the right look for their new smile.
