The cost of porcelain and composite veneers will vary depending on the number of veneers required. We have interest-free packages available where you can get porcelain veneers for as little as $60/week. We would be able to provide you with an exact quote after your initial consultation.

Dental veneers will generally require at least two appointments. For composite veneers, they can be applied in a single appointment with a review appointment approximately 2 weeks after placement. Porcelain veneers are made in a lab by our master ceramist so there is a preparation appointment, followed by a cementation appointment three weeks later when the veneers are ready. You’ll wear a set of temporary teeth between these two appointments that is based on the design of the final veneers.

Your new smile will be digitally designed by our one of our cosmetic dentists, and we’ll be able to show you a digital mockup of how it will look. You can also test out your new veneers before commencing treatment by doing a trial smile (which uses a temporary material over your teeth to imitate the design we’ve created for you).  This way you can make any tweaks to the size or shape of the teeth before the final veneers are made or fitted.

The process of getting veneers is typically painless, with most patients only experiencing some slight pressure during the procedure. Our procedures are typically conducted under local anaesthetic to ensure the process is comfortable and pain-free.

In some veneer cases, recontouring the gums (conducting a gum lift) will give a better cosmetic outcome. This is done to create symmetry, improve the ratio of tooth to gum length and lengthen short teeth. Most gum recontouring causes no additional discomfort during or after treatment and the procedure itself is conducted with a highly accurate soft-tissue laser under local anesthesia.

Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that is suitable for adults of all ages. There are, however, some conditions which may render a patient not a suitable candidate for dental veneers, including gum disease, insufficient tooth enamel or severe bruxism. A consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists will enable us to assess your suitability for treatment.

Maintaining your veneers does not require any additional requirement than your regular oral hygiene maintenance. Good oral health habits include brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day to prevent bacteria and plaque build-up. We also advise maintaining a regular schedule of dental checkup & cleans (every six months) to ensure your gums and veneers are kept healthy. With veneers, you will also need to ensure you do not bite down on hard/sticky foods.
