Macquarie Dental provides porcelain veneers in Sydney for patients who want to improve the appearance of stained, chipped, worn, uneven, or misshapen teeth. 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 suitable 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.
Porcelain veneers may be suitable if you have:
Discoloured Teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Uneven/ Misshapen Teeth
Chipped or worn teeth
Crooked/ Crowded Teeth
Healthy teeth and gums
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 ceramic 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
Our dentist will begin by assessing your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to check if veneers are suitable for you. During this visit, you can discuss your smile goals, including concerns like chipped teeth, stains, or uneven tooth appearance.
Treatment Planning
A personalised treatment plan is created based on your dental needs. Our dentist will guide you in choosing the shape, size, and shade of your veneers to match your existing teeth.
Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the teeth to create space for the veneers. This step is usually quick and helps the veneers fit comfortably while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth.
Impressions and Temporary Veneers
After preparing your teeth, impressions are taken and sent to a dental laboratory to create your custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while your new veneers are being made.
Final Veneer Placement
At your final appointment, our dentist will check the fit, colour, and shape of each veneer before attaching them to your teeth. Any small adjustments are made to ensure they feel comfortable and match your smile.
Veneer Care and Follow-Up
After your veneers are placed, your dentist will explain how to care for them with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Proper care helps maintain your veneers and keep your smile healthy.
At Macquarie Dental, we believe in providing affordable dental veneers for all patients. The cost of porcelain veneers in Sydney varies based on the number of teeth treated, the complexity of the case, the shade and shape changes required, and the laboratory work involved. Your dentist will provide a personalised quote after assessing your teeth and discussing your treatment goals.

NEED HELP
Veneers are made from either porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers use a strong ceramic material, while composite veneers use tooth-coloured resin. Porcelain veneers are often more stain-resistant and may last longer with proper care.
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.
Porcelain veneers may crack or chip under excessive force and need replacement if damaged.
The treatment is irreversible because a small amount of enamel is removed.
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.
The dental veneers procedure typically takes two appointments spread over 2 to 3 weeks. Each session lasts about 1 to 2 hours for tooth preparation, temporary placement, and final bonding.
Consider porcelain veneers if you want to correct cosmetic issues like severe discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth. They are ideal if you have healthy teeth and want a durable, long-lasting enhancement for your smile.
Porcelain veneers require the same care and maintenance as natural teeth.
Brush and floss daily with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to protect the underlying teeth.
Avoid biting hard objects (like ice, pens, or fingernails) and wear a nightguard if you tend to grind your teeth.
Most dental insurance plans do not cover the cost of porcelain veneers, as they are considered to be cosmetic procedures. Call us today and speak to our team about available options.
