Dental Veneers in Canberra
Everyone wants to have straighter teeth but not everyone can afford to have orthodontic treatments like braces.
Cosmetic veneers are the “quick fix” solution. By adding a tooth colour restoration layer to the front of your teeth, your teeth instantly look straight creating a perfect smile you’ll want to show off.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are a popular treatment option to improve the aesthetics of your smile. They can be used to address issues like discoloration, chips, or gaps, to provide a natural-looking and long-lasting solution to enhance aesthetics and boost your confidence. The best choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and long-term goals.
Benefits of Veneers
- Improve aesthetics
- Durable and long-lasting
- Can be minimally invasive
- Can correct alignment or gaps between teeth without braces
Types of Dental Veneers
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made from high-quality, durable ceramic material that closely mimics the natural look and translucency of teeth. While they are a long-lasting solution, porcelain veneers do require more preparation to your teeth and are generally not considered reversible treatment.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are made from a resin-based material that can be sculpted directly onto the tooth. While less durable than porcelain veneers, composite veneers offer a more conservative and less expensive option that can still achieve a great aesthetic result.
The Dental Veneers Process
At your initial consultation, we will discuss in detail your goals for treatment. We will then create a ‘mock-up’ to demonstrate what your final result might look like, and we can easily make any changes you wish before embarking on any treatment. We will endeavour to make sure you are well informed and closely involved about treatment risks, benefits and costs at every step of the process.
Following your treatment, we will continue to closely monitor your results and maintain up-keep as necessary.
Before and After Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers FAQs
How long do dental veneers last?
The life span of your veneers greatly depends on how well you take care of your teeth. Porcelain veneers tend to be more durable than composite veneers, generally lasting around 10-15 years vs 5-7 years. However both options can risk damage if not taken care of properly.
Are veneers safe for my teeth?
All veneers will require some level of preparation to your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers generally require the removal of some enamel and generally more preparation is required than for composite veneers. We will ensure that your teeth are healthy and suitable for this kind of treatment before starting.
Do veneers require special care?
Veneers require the same care as your natural teeth do. Proper brushing and flossing as well as regular visits to the dentist will ensure the best longevity of your veneers.
Can veneers fix crooked or uneven teeth?
Veneers can correct a wide range of issues, including crooked and uneven or misshapen teeth. They can also be used in conjunction with clear aligners to correct some more extensive problems.
