Cosmetic Porcelain Veneers
If you’ve ever wanted a dramatic smile makeover in the least time necessary, our cosmetic veneers in Bushland Beach are a wonderful option.

Depending on the shape and width of your smile, as few as 6-10 veneers can give you an entirely new appearance. The number you need depends on how many teeth are visible while you’re talking or smiling.

What are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain designed to fit over the front of the applicable teeth. Their design is so specific that you can decide what shape, size, and colour you want each tooth to look like. Unlike crowns, veneers do not cover the entire tooth; only the front.

What is the Procedure Like?
After your initial consultation, we plan two appointments. The first is a prep visit where your teeth are ...
... slightly adjustedand an impression is taken. We send the moulds and requirements to our lab, where each veneer is crafted by hand. About two weeks later, the permanent veneers are ready for placement. We’ll have you come back by our office and Dr Vikram will bond each piece of porcelain to the applicable tooth.

Do Veneers Work Instantly?
As soon as your permanent veneers are bonded in place, your smile is instantly transformed. It will look whiter, straighter, and appropriately shaped. Some people even refer to them as “instant braces.”

What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from medical-grade ceramic. They are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve appearance and correct issues such as:

Discoloration

Chipped or broken teeth

Gaps between teeth

Misaligned or uneven teeth

Worn-down teeth

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Natural appearance: Mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.

Stain-resistant: Porcelain resists coffee, tea, and cigarette stains.

Durable: Can last 10–15 years with proper care.

Minimally invasive: Requires less enamel removal compared to crowns.

Procedure Overview

Consultation: Discuss your goals, take X-rays, and examine your mouth.

Preparation: A small amount of enamel (usually less than 0.5 mm) is removed.

Impression: A mold is taken and sent to a dental lab to create custom veneers.

Bonding: After 1–2 weeks, veneers are permanently cemented to the teeth.

Aftercare Tips

Practice good oral hygiene: brush twice daily and floss.

Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, etc.).

Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night.

Schedule regular dental checkups.

Considerations

Irreversible: Enamel removal is permanent.

Cost: Typically ranges from $900 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on location and dentist.

Not repairable if chipped; may need full replacement.

May increase tooth sensitivity temporarily.
