Porcelain Veneers
If you are unhappy with the colour, shape or small chips of your front teeth, veneers may be one of the options a dentist explains. A porcelain veneer is a thin, custom-made shell bonded to the front of a tooth. Porcelain veneers are one of the services at Shellharbour Dentists, and they sit within cosmetic dentistry in Shellharbour.
Preparing a tooth for a veneer may remove enamel, which does not grow back. Veneers can need repair or replacement later. Grinding, clenching and gum disease may affect suitability. Our teeth grinding information and gum disease treatment information explain related concerns to raise before deciding.
The options depend on what you want to change. Our teeth whitening information covers colour, while tooth coloured fillings information explains repairs to small chips. A heavily damaged tooth may need a crown, covered in crowns and bridges information. For tooth position, compare the options in our invisalign information. We can explain which are realistic for your mouth.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth and attend the reviews recommended for you. Our dental check-up and clean information covers assessment of your teeth, gums and existing work. Return to cosmetic dentistry in Shellharbour to compare other options.
E-Max porcelain veneers start from $1,400 each, with a six-veneer package at $7,800. We provide a written quote showing the teeth involved, preparation and fitting, and explain future repair or replacement needs. See our questions about dental fees and patient offers and terms. A $50 refundable deposit is required to claim a smile makeover consultation.
To book, use the Book An Appointment button or call (02) 4216 9911. Because veneers cannot be undone, take your time, ask for the plan in writing and ask whether a second opinion would help. You can also compare the options in the payment options before you decide.
Veneers suit some situations better than others. These are common reasons people ask, with the points a dentist may raise.
Veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin. We can explain the material, preparation and maintenance proposed for your teeth. Risks include sensitivity, chipping, detachment and a visible edge if gums recede. Veneers do not whiten after placement, and changes in neighbouring tooth colour can affect the match. Ask how the shade is chosen and what future repair or replacement could involve.
