Get a more natural looking and lasting smile with Porcelain veneers that can change the shape, size, and color of teeth. The porcelain veneers are carefully prepared and bonded to natural teeth. When undergoing dental veneers treatment in Melbourne there are several crucial steps that ensure success.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to enhance the appearance of teeth by altering their colour, shape, size, or length. Veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth, resulting in a natural and attractive look.

They can be made from either porcelain or resin composite materials, with porcelain veneers being more stain-resistant and offering a better reflection of light, resembling the natural appearance of teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require less removal of the tooth surface before placement. Both types of veneers can significantly improve the overall aesthetics of the smile by providing a solution for various dental issues, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth.

What Are Dental Veneers Made Of?

Veneers are made using composite or porcelain. When properly applied, they can make your teeth look like they are whiter, straighter, properly sized/shaped, and healthier looking.

The number of veneers you get depends on the type of condition you want to address. For instance, you can get a single veneer to improve the appearance of a stained or chipped tooth. You can also get about six to 10 veneers along your upper front teeth.
Cosmetic dentists don’t usually apply dental veneers on lower teeth unless you have a condition that calls for them.

The Perfect Smile Solution

Bleaching and dental whitening treatments are a great way to improve the brightness of your smile. However, they aren’t able to mask the uneven colouring of fillings or the more intense discolouration caused by root canals. Our dental veneers in Melbourne are designed to create an effective solution to discolouration, providing an evenly white and bright smile.

Our Dental Veneers Process

The team at Mulgrave Dental are trained and experienced to provide expert and personalised dental veneers treatments in Melbourne. Our process for dental veneers application and procedures is as follows:

Initial Consultation: An initial consultation is organised to diagnose your dental problems and develop an appropriate and customised treatment plan.
Dental X-Rays: Our Melbourne dentists will comprehensively assess your tooth structure by taking X-rays of your mouth to ascertain any dental issues and create a mould of your bite impression. They will also take images of your teeth, to accurately colour match your new porcelain veneers. Following this first assessment, your temporary veneers will be crafted for installation at your next appointment.
Installation: You can trial your temporary veneers for two to three weeks to see if they’re the right fit — after which your porcelain veneers will be installed at your third appointment.
Recovery & Confidence Boost: Following the installation of your porcelain veneers in Melbourne, the before and after images will astound you. Experience a boost in confidence with our natural porcelain or resin veneers, for a new smile to debut to your friends and family.

Non-Invasive & Quick

If you’re looking for a non-invasive and quick solution to teeth straightening, dental veneers are a relatively painless alternative to braces or dental implants. Dental veneers for teeth act as a tooth overlay that covers noticeable chips, breaks and general wear and tear to create straightness and alignment across your mouth for a total smile transformation. Designed to be temporary, dental veneers can be adjusted as you age and easily replaced should any chipping or significant staining occur.

What Are The Benefits of Dental Veneers?

There are several other methods that can deliver results similar to dental veneers, depending on the condition being addressed. For instance, if your teeth are stained, you can go for teeth whitening treatments. However, such treatments have limitations. Teeth can only be whitened if the staining is on the surface. If it’s underneath, you won’t get the results you are looking for. That’s where dental veneers come in. No matter where the staining is, you will still get white, even teeth and a beautiful smile. Here are other benefits of porcelain veneers you may be interested in.

Dental Veneers Can Cover Cracks, Chips: Porcelain dental veneers are a perfect option for fixing minor cosmetic problems that affect the look of your smile when you talk, laugh, or smile. The only thing you need to do is set up an appointment with your cosmetic dentist to find out whether you are an eligible candidate for dental veneers.
Veneers Look and Feel Natural: Dental veneers have the most natural look and feel. Unless you tell someone that you have had some work done, they will likely never realise you have them on. They are custom-made to look natural in your mouth. This will go a long way in giving you the self-confidence boost you need. You won’t have to worry about people staring at your teeth anymore.
Minimal Enamel Removal: Once enamel is removed, it won’t regenerate. Fortunately, the application of dental veneers requires the removal of only a thin layer of enamel. Without removing a bit of enamel, veneers will look awkwardly large. Other methods that seek to improve the appearance of your teeth remove significantly more enamel. This includes dental crowns and bridges. As mentioned before, this enamel loss is never recovered. So if you are looking to preserve as much of your enamel as possible, dental veneers are a perfect choice.
Dental Veneers Protect Your Teeth From Discoloration: If you practice good oral hygiene and choose what you eat carefully, you can keep your dental veneers for a long time. Because of where they are located, the dental veneers prevent your teeth surfaces from coming into contact with foods and beverages. This will protect your natural teeth from staining. However, to get the maximum benefit from veneers, you must treat them with care. For instance, you should be careful when it comes to biting down too hard on things like bones and ice. This can cause your dental veneers to chip. With proper care and good dental hygiene, dental veneers can last for up to 10 years.
Dental Veneers are Low Maintenance: Veneers are generally stain-resistant. They are non-porous, which makes it difficult for pigments to stick to them. This makes them low maintenance. However, this doesn’t mean that you should abandon brushing your teeth. You must stick to your oral hygiene routine to maintain good dental health and dental veneers.
