Dental Veneers Canberra are a modern cosmetic restorative solution for patients who want to enhance the aesthetics of their smile and confidently express themselves. They are commonly chosen to address imperfections such as discolouration, minor misalignment, chips, or gaps.

Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are custom-made and bonded to the front surface of natural teeth. With minimal to no tooth reduction, they can conceal minor flaws while maintaining the integrity of your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are highly durable and able to withstand normal biting and chewing, providing an additional layer of protection against wear and damage. The long-term strength of veneers depends on the health and condition of the teeth beneath them.

Porcelain veneers are made from ceramic materials that closely mimic the translucency and appearance of natural tooth enamel. This allows them to reflect light naturally, creating a seamless, radiant smile. Multiple veneers can be used to enhance the overall look of the smile, delivering a natural and long-lasting transformation.

If you find yourself smiling less than you’d like, avoiding photos, or covering your teeth when speaking, dental veneers may help you achieve a more confident smile.

Veneers Canberra are an option for individuals looking to address issues such as cracks, misalignment, or discolouration. They can also help conceal stubborn stains caused by factors like coffee, tea, wine, or smoking—stains that may not respond to traditional whitening treatments. The smooth surface of porcelain veneers makes them highly stain-resistant, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle and oral hygiene is still important.

For those seeking a natural, youthful-looking smile, veneers can be an effective solution. Custom-crafted to match your teeth, veneers are difficult to distinguish from natural teeth, leaving only a bright, confident smile that stands out for all the right reasons.

Dental Veneers Canberra are a good treatment option for enhanced aesthetics and at Identity Dentistry, we value patients and the expected results they have after treatment. Coming out of our clinic and completing treatment with a smile that you deserve is of utmost importance to us.

Because of this, we recommend dental veneers to:

• Conceal chipped teeth
• Restore minimally fractured teeth
• Provide a uniform smile— with perfect symmetry and appearance
• Fill black triangles on receded gum line caused by gum recession
• Close minimal tooth gaps without having to wear braces
• Lengthen worn down teeth to better the appearance
• Whiten teeth with stubborn yellow or brown stains
• Positively enhance your wellbeing with a confident smile

It is important to remember that Dental Veneers are a cosmetic treatment and are an excellent aesthetic option for a brighter, better smile. While they are made from durable materials that can withstand biting forces, they are not to be made as substitutes for teeth in terms of strength as they are not made to restore health and function.

1. Consultation

For your first visit, our dentists are to evaluate whether you are a suitable candidate for veneers. This includes assessing the health of your teeth and gums and your current oral hygiene and if it is properly maintained, ensuring that you have enough tooth enamel to receive the veneers, and identifying your specifications and expected results.

From this, our dental professionals are able to coordinate with you on what should be the material of choice for your dental veneers.

2. Preparing your Teeth

Our dentists are to make sure that this treatment is made as minimally invasive as possible so tooth reduction is made only until necessary. This is to keep the bulk of the material seamlessly bonded to the tooth surface, making it indiscernible when you smile.

After tooth preparation, molds are made to help with designing the veneers and to guarantee a perfect fit.

3. Fitting and Cementation

Composite Veneers are made chairside and in one appointment. Fitting and cementation are done on the same day of tooth preparation.

Meanwhile, Porcelain Ceramic Veneers are fabricated in the laboratory. A longer process is necessary to ensure superb aesthetics and great fit. Once ready, your dentist is to fit and hold the veneers in place so you can check for the look of it.

Minor alterations can be carried out by the dentist as well. And when you are both happy with the appearance, your dentist can proceed with cementing your perfect smile in place.

Whilst assessing your suitability for veneers, our dentists will present you with all possible treatment options for your teeth. The application of veneers is then usually completed within two appointments.

During the first appointment, one of our dentists will take a mould of your teeth which will then serve as a blueprint for creating the veneers according to your precise needs and measurements. They will discuss with you what type of look and appearance you are after and the dentists will explain how they can best achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile that suits you individually.

The ultra-thin veneer will then be designed and made so that in the second appointment it can be bonded to your existing tooth. Dental veneers are a minimally invasive procedure that can dramatically enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile, resulting in a wonderful transformation.

Dental Veneers Cost

• Composite Veneers: Interest free payment plan from $30/week
• Porcelain Veneers: Interest free payment plan from $57/week

Composite Veneers are made from flexible polymer and ceramic-based material. They are an excellent choice for concealing minor flaws and discolourations. They are designed to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth while boasting stain resistance and excellent fit.

However, this ceramic material is prone to chipping and only has a life expectancy of only 5 – 10 years. Our dentists recommended this option to help with deciding whether to invest in the more durable but more expensive Ceramic Porcelain Veneers.

This type of veneer is the gold standard material for Dental Veneers as they create the appearance closest to the natural teeth, including translucency, sheen, hue, and feel, making them the superior choice for Dental Veneers.

With the use of Emax technology, Ceramic Veneers are made from more durable material with the technology providing optimum fit over the tooth surface. This kind of veneer is an investment that can last for 10 – 20 years provided that good oral hygiene is maintained.
