Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-strength ceramic. They offer a long-lasting and durable solution for various dental concerns.
Key features:
- Crafted from high-strength ceramic
- Last 10–15 years or more
- Custom-made in a dental lab
- Ideal for full smile makeovers
- Resistant to stains and discolouration
- Permanent solution
Do Porcelain Veneers Hurt?
Patients generally describe the process as comfortable and pain-free.
- Local anaesthetic ensures comfort during preparation
- Slight tooth reduction required to allow veneer placement
- Temporary sensitivity may occur but typically resolves quickly
We prioritise a gentle and minimally invasive approach to maintain your natural tooth integrity.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or even longer with proper care.
Factors affecting longevity include:
- Regular oral hygiene and dental visits
- Avoiding habits like biting hard objects or teeth grinding
- Consistent use of a night guard
Porcelain veneers can’t be repaired like composite bonding; if damaged, they require replacement but offer unmatched strength and durability.
Treatment Timeline
Porcelain veneer treatments usually involve 2–3 appointments spread across 2–3 weeks.
- Initial consultation and smile design: Assessment and planning
- Tooth preparation: Placement of temporary veneers
- Final fitting and bonding: Permanent veneers bonded
Whitening and smile design scans are conducted beforehand for optimal outcomes.
Cost and Payment Options
Each porcelain veneer case is unique, and exact costs are provided at your free consultation. Pricing depends on:
- Number of veneers
- Complexity of smile and desired outcomes
Payment Plans Include:
- Humm packages starting from $40 per week over 24 months, interest-free
Porcelain veneers include a 3-year warranty. To maintain this warranty, regular six-monthly check-ups and nightly use of a prescribed night guard are required.
