For teeth that are less than perfect, porcelain veneers can achieve remarkable results quickly and easily with little disruption to your natural tooth surface. As with all dental procedures, our experienced team will conduct a thorough oral examination to assess your most suitable treatment option.
Although fine, these shells of porcelain become extremely strong and durable when bonded onto the front surface of your teeth. Utilised to repair chips, cover stains, straighten crooked front teeth and close gaps, veneers can give you the breathtaking smile you desire in as little as two appointments.
Preparation is the key for achieving an exquisite result and requires clinical precision. Similar to when receiving a crown, your tooth or teeth are re-shaped and a minor amount of enamel is removed so your veneers can bond correctly to your teeth at the gum-line, eliminating an outline effect, this will make them indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Following preparation, a moulded impression is made so your veneers can be fabricated in a dental laboratory. For some people temporary veneers may be placed, however, for most people this is not necessary.
At your next appointment, your new veneers are placed over your prepared teeth, adjusted for comfort and fit to your gum-line prior being bonded securely with dental cement for a smile that is beautiful and uniquely you.
Even though your new veneers are high-grade porcelain, your gums and supporting teeth are still susceptible to decay. A regular maintenance routine of brushing twice a day with a soft bristled toothbrush and flossing once a day will keep them in pristine condition and prevent periodontitis (gum disease) the main cause of tooth loss in Australian adults.
