Dental Veneers Brisbane - Valley Dental - Fortitude Valley

Veneers are a great solution if you want to improve your smile, boost confidence, or address dental issues. They offer a fantastic option for concerns like chipped, damaged, or discoloured teeth. Veneers can enhance your smile's aesthetics, creating a natural smile by improving the colour, shape and contours of your teeth.

Veneers, also known as dental laminates or teeth veneers, are micro-thin dental restorations fabricated from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin by our very own dental ceramist or Valley Dental dentist. Dental veneers work their magic by delicately covering the front surface of your teeth.

When it comes to achieving your smile goals and treatment needs, certain materials are better suited to different situations. It’s a bit like choosing the right tool for the right job. At Valley Dental, we will guide you through getting veneers, ensuring that the material chosen is the best for your particular situation and long-term outcomes.

Veneers share a resemblance with dental crowns, but they have their own unique appeal. Unlike crowns that encase the entire tooth, veneers simply cover the front surface.

Once bonded in place, veneers seamlessly mimic the appearance of your natural teeth blending in with your smile. Veneers can tackle multiple dental issues, including damaged teeth, intrinsic stains or discolouration, close gaps and improve smile lines and widths. The result? A flawless, natural-looking grin that leaves you feeling confident and ready to show off your new and improved smile.

what are veneers?

Now you know what they are, you’re probably wondering how do veneers work? The process of getting veneers spans across two-three appointments. 

Appointment one diagnosis and treatment planning: During a veneer consultation, we will evaluate your teeth to determine whether veneers are a good option. We may take x-rays and impressions/ scans of your teeth to understand your oral health better. getting to know you and your values is also an important part of the planning process, so don’t be alarmed if some questions aren’t teeth-specific.

During this appointment, you will have the opportunity to ask us any questions you might have.  If necessary, a follow-up appointment for digitally waxed-up try-ins may be scheduled to ensure the best possible outcome for you. It is during this appointment that we will determine how many veneers you need and if any changes are required for the optimal patient-centred outcome.

The process of getting veneers is very personal, and your dentist at Valley Dental will collaborate with you to ensure that your veneers are custom-fit and specifically designed for you.

Appointment two preparation: Once you are happy with the ‘try-in’ of your veneers, we can proceed to the next step. To apply the veneers, we will first prepare your teeth by removing a minimal amount of enamel from the front surface (where required, not all teeth need to be adjusted). This ensures the veneers fit snugly to your teeth and do not appear bulky or unnatural. After your teeth have been prepared, impressions and scans will be taken to create moulds that will be used to make your veneers. 

In the meantime, you will be fitted with temporary dental veneers made to the same design that has been digitally made for you at your previous appointment.

Appointment three application and bonding: Once the veneers are ready, your Valley Dental team will try them in, make sure you’re happy and bond them to your teeth using a special adhesive. We will ensure that your veneers fit comfortably and look natural. We will also make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.

The Veneers process

types of veneers

Porcelain Veneers Brisbane

Porcelain veneers are custom-made teeth, skillfully designed and manufactured using high-quality ceramic material by our on-site master ceramist. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability, natural appearance, and resistance to staining. They are a popular choice for those seeking a long-lasting solution to improving the appearance of their teeth and are highly aesthetic. With porcelain veneers, your picture-perfect smile will seamlessly blend with your existing teeth.

Composite Veneers Brisbane

Composite veneers are made of a tooth-coloured composite resin material that is bonded to the teeth using a dental adhesive. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers are crafted directly onto the teeth during a single dental appointment. Composite resin veneers are a more affordable and quicker alternative to porcelain veneers; however, require more regular maintenance as they tend to wear and stain over time.

Dental veneers FAQ

  • Each smile is unique and the cost of veneers varies depending on if composite resin or porcelain is used, your current oral health status and the number of teeth being treated.

    The average dental veneer cost ranges from $400-$1700 per tooth.

  • The lifespan of veneers depends on various factors, including the type of material used, your occlusal factors (bite), and your oral hygiene habits.

    Porcelain veneers are typically more durable than composite resin veneers and can last up to 10-20 years or more. Composite veneers, on the other hand, typically last around 3-5 years.

    To extend the lifespan of your veneers, it is important to practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding excessively hard or crunchy foods that could damage the veneers, and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. In most cases, your dentist will recommend using a night guard to protect your veneers from potential subconscious grinding habits during sleep (bruxism).

  • Veneers are not considered permanent; however, they are a long-lasting cosmetic dental treatment. On average, veneers can last between 10 to 15 years with proper care and maintenance.

  • Yes, please. Regular brushing is an essential part of maintaining your veneers. Like natural teeth, veneers require proper care to ensure their longevity and pearly white colour.

  • No, dental veneers are made from resin or porcelain that do not respond to whitening agents.

    This is why you should consider teeth whitening before veneers, as this will ensure your new veneers match your natural teeth colour.

If you have missing or chipped teeth, dental veneers could be the ideal solution to enhance your radiant smile. Dental veneers offer a personalised treatment allowing you and your dentist to work together to design the smile you’ve always desired.
