Veneers
Veneers are commonly placed on the front surface of your prepped tooth to enhance your teeth for cosmetic and structural purposes. All our veneers are Australian made.
Veneers are mainly of two types:
Composite veneers - are made of composite and can be done in single visit.
Porcelain veneers - are made up of ultra-thin porcelain that is permanently bonded to your natural tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers provide a more natural look, superior durability and are highly stain resistant. This requires two to three visits to the dentist
Dental veneers can alter the outward appearance of teeth in many ways. They can whiten your smile, straighten slightly crooked teeth, cover up small chips and cracks, increase the size of your teeth, close small gaps and cover certain stains.
We will discuss alternative treatments such as teeth whitening, bonding to repair small chips and cracks or, so you know all the options available.
In the first dental visit, we will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, examine the rest of your teeth to address problems like caries and the health of gum tissues. Study models, scans, x rays and photos are taken.
The second visit is the longest and it is where all the preparation of teeth and soft tissue occurs. A scan is taken after your teeth have been prepared which is sent to the lab for fabrication. The ceramist constructs the veneer but they also look at photos taken of the teeth before and after preparation as well as the detailed instructions on shade and shape prescribed by us.
The placement procedure is also a time consuming and delicate process and sometimes revisions are needed to achieve the desired result.
