Porcelain Veneers Brisbane

Porcelain veneers are a popular option.

Did you know that porcelain veneers are a quick and easy way to fix any imperfections in your smile?

They can create a smile that makes you beam from ear to ear.

What are porcelain veneers?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells which are personally designed to suit the front of your teeth.  They sit on front of your existing teeth to create a natural looking surface.

Veneers are used for people who want to change the appearance of their discoloured, stained, crooked or gapped teeth. Veneers can be used to correct a single tooth or multiple teeth depending on the kind of smile you want to achieve.

Who would benefit from veneers?

People opt for veneers to enhance the appearance of their smile if they have:

• Chipped or worn down teeth
• Stained or discoloured teeth 
• Uneven or crooked teeth
• Gaps in between teeth

What are the benefits of having porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry service due to the wide range of benefits that comes with them.

• They are very natural looking, meaning they blend in with your existing teeth
• Can provide a straight, more symmetrical looking smile
• They can solve any staining problems which teeth whitening would be able to correct
• They are personally designed to fit your own teeth, giving them the best fit possible
• They are resistant to food and drinks that usually stain teeth, such as wines and coffee
• They can fix multiple corrections with your teeth, even filling in gaps or wide spaced teeth
• Have a high resistance to chipping and damage

How are porcelain veneers applied?

Having your smile made over with veneers usually takes about three office visits. In the initial consultation, the dentist will first plan your new smile by determining what size, shape, and type of veneers that will best complement your smile and aesthetic desires.

Next, your teeth will be carefully prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer. This ensures the veneers sits as closely and as comfortable as possible, enhancing how natural they look.

Temporary veneers will be placed to protect the teeth while the final veneer is fabricated in a dental laboratory so you don’t have to worry about any aesthetic issues whilst you wait.

When the permanent veneers are ready, you will return for your third visit to have your veneers cemented. This is the final step in your smile transformation, and you can leave the dentist’s office knowing that you now have a brand new, beautiful smile.

How long do veneers last?

On average, veneers can last from 7-10 years. It all depends on how well they are cared for. Veneers need as much care, if not more, than your existing teeth. Good oral hygiene, frequent brushing and flossing and regular trips to the dentist can prolong their life. This also means that any foods that are tough on and could potentially break your existing teeth, could also damage your veneers.
