Our dentists provide cosmetic dental treatments, including natural-looking porcelain veneers planned around your tooth shape, smile line, and treatment goals. Our porcelain veneers in Sydney can be used to address discolouration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth, with results that are designed to be long-lasting.
Porcelain veneers are thin coverings that fit over your teeth and can change their colour, shape or correct damage. In addition, porcelain is translucent, which means light can pass through the dental material and mimic the natural colours found in dental enamel. This allows porcelain veneers to become the perfect option when making changes to discoloured or misshapen teeth.
Natural look: Porcelain reflects light in a way that resembles natural tooth enamel.
Stain resistant: Porcelain is more resistant to staining than natural enamel, although good oral hygiene still matters.
Durable with proper care: With proper care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Fix multiple cosmetic concerns: Veneers may help improve the appearance of stains, chips, gaps, worn edges, and uneven tooth shape.
Less tooth removal: Veneers usually require less tooth preparation than crowns, although some enamel removal is still needed.
In comparison to other cosmetic dentistry procedures, porcelain veneers offer various benefits, including:
Porcelain veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic option. One of the major benefits of choosing porcelain veneers is that the material feels like your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless fix compared to other dentistry procedures. In addition, there is no downtime required, meaning you can get back to your daily routine with proper aftercare and recovery.
At Macquarie Dental, porcelain veneer treatment usually involves the following steps:
Initial Consultation
Treatment starts with a thorough consultation. Your dentist examines your teeth, discusses your goals, and checks whether veneers suit your oral health. X-rays, photos, scans, or impressions may be taken to help plan your treatment.
Tooth Preparation
Once we have a plan, we’ll prep your teeth. A small amount of enamel may be removed from the front surface of the teeth. This helps the veneers sit properly and blend with your natural teeth. We then take a final impression to send to our lab, where your bespoke veneers are custom made to your exact specifications.
Veneer Fabrication and Bonding
When your veneers are ready, you’ll come back in for the final fitting. Your dentist checks the fit, colour, and bite before bonding the veneers to your teeth with dental cement. We’ll finish up with some fine-tuning to ensure your bite feels comfortable and your smile looks seamless.
Follow-up Care
Veneers are durable, but they still need proper care. To keep them looking unblemished for years to come, follow a proper daily oral hygiene regime:

NEED HELP
Porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care, although this varies between patients. However, you can easily prolong their lifespan with proper care and maintenance. This includes regularly brushing twice a day, flossing, and visiting your dentist for routine check-ups. By practising good oral hygiene habits, the life of your porcelain veneers will be extended.
At Macquarie Dental, we aim to keep our prices low so that more people can access high-quality dental healthcare. Therefore, we offer our patients affordable veneers that will restore the visual appeal of their smiles. For more information on pricing, contact us today.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells placed over the teeth. They are made from porcelain, last longer, and are more durable. Alternatively, composite veneers are made from resin material and are layered onto the tooth through a dental bonding process. Composite veneers are the more affordable option, but they may not last as long.
The porcelain veneer procedure is minimally invasive. Local anaesthetic is used during the tooth preparation stage to help keep you comfortable. Some patients experience mild sensitivity following treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. Your dentist will discuss what to expect during your consultation.
Traditional whitening treatments do not work on porcelain. Therefore, whitening your porcelain veneers will entail comprehensive care and maintenance. This includes using a soft-bristle toothbrush, brushing after eating foods that can stain the teeth, using a polishing toothpaste, getting your teeth professionally cleaned, and maintaining a regular oral hygiene routine.
The best dental veneers for your teeth will depend on your individual circumstances. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dental veneers. Therefore, our dentists will examine your oral health and recommend the best dental veneer option for you. Both porcelain and composite veneers can address a range of cosmetic concerns; your dentist will recommend the option best suited to your needs.
