Before and after veneer transformations in Melbourne

so, what are porcelain veneers?

Veneers are not a fast fix to a challenging dental aesthetic: they represent a carefully-considered and personalised experience, beginning with your initial consultation with us.

Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic solution that can dramatically enhance the aesthetics of your smile. They are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. Made from porcelain (as the name suggests), these veneers are crafted to mimic the natural appearance of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of your smile by addressing a variety of dental concerns, such as discoloured, chipped, misshapen, crooked, gappy, gummy or worn down teeth. 

Veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing the colour, shape, size, length or alignment. They are popular because they provide a lifelike tooth appearance, and porcelain is stain-resistant and mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. 

What do porcelain veneers address?

We’re not being hyperbolic when we say porcelain veneers are known to completely transform smiles. Crafted from high-quality porcelain, veneers are thin shells that are custom-made to fit snugly over the front of your teeth to provide a long-lasting and aesthetically-pleasing look. Renowned for their durability and natural appearance, porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their smile.

If any of the below goals resonate with you, you may want to consider porcelain veneers in Melbourne:

Fix discoloured teeth:

Veneers can hide stains that teeth whitening can’t fix, like severe discolouration caused by certain medications or tobacco use.

Hide chipped teeth:

Veneers effectively conceal minor chips or cracks in teeth.

Remove gaps between teeth:

Veneers can be used to close small gaps between teeth.

Fix misalignment and shape issues:

Veneers can cover irregularly shaped teeth.

Fix worn down teeth:

Veneers offer a way to lengthen and reshape teeth that have eroded due to bruxism (teeth grinding).

Level out uneven teeth:

Veneers can balance the look of uneven teeth due to grinding, general wear, or natural irregularities.

Fix a gummy smile:

Veneers can balance out uneven gums and correct a smile that is showing too much of the gums. 

“I am SO pleased that I took this journey with Dr Rita Trak at Dental + Skin Clinic. Not only is the clinic a calm and comfortable environment to be in, the staff and Dr Trak put me completely at ease.”

Discreet veneers in Melbourne

Shh – we won’t tell if you don’t

You may be surprised to discover who has porcelain veneers in Melbourne. In fact, you probably won’t notice unless they tell you. A good set of porcelain veneers will be practically undetectable, and that’s exactly what we’ll achieve with yours. Our tailored treatment plans take into account your facial bone structure to ensure you get a beautiful smile that matches the rest of your face.

Our lips may be sealed, but we have no doubt you’ll be grinning from ear to ear.

Types of veneers

There are several types of veneers, but the most popular are porcelain veneers and composite veneers.

What are composite veneers?

Composite veneers are made from composite resin – the same material used in dental fillings. Composite veneers are usually sculpted directly onto the teeth, usually in a single appointment.

While they may appear cost-effective in the short-term, composite veneers are porous by nature and are prone to staining, chipping, and discolouration. Their longevity is usually 3 to 5 years, in which time they’ll need to be regularly fixed. This is where the costs of composite veneers can add up.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are custom-made for each patient and are used to recreate the natural look of teeth. They are robust and resilient, making them a popular choice for people looking for the best veneer option.

What's the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?

The main differences between porcelain veneers and composite veneers are:

  • Materials: Porcelain veneers are made from high-quality, durable ceramic, while composite veneers are made from a resin material.
  • Cost: Porcelain veneers are considerably more expensive than composite veneers.
  • Durability: Porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains and chips, while composite veneers are more prone to staining. They require replacement and maintenance more frequently.

Which one is best for you? Ultimately, it’s your decision. If you need a bit of guidance, our dental team can talk you through all your options.

What to expect: the veneers process

If you’re feeling uncertain about your first consultation for porcelain veneers, rest assured that you’re taking a positive step towards enhancing your smile. Our team will guide you through every step, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed throughout the whole treatment. We’ll discuss your expectations, answer any questions, and outline the process in a way that’s clear and reassuring. Remember, this journey is about creating a smile that reflects your true self – and we’re excited to help you realise this.

Our unique five-step veneers process

We’re committed to making you feel comfortable throughout your entire smile journey. We’ll answer any questions you might have, and outline the process in a way that’s clear to you. At the end of the day, we’re all about creating a smile that you’ll be proud to show off.

Our unique five-step veneers process is as follows: 

1. CONSULTATION - 1h

In your first consultation with Dr. Rita, you’ll discuss your smile and what you want to improve. Remaining completely impartial, Dr. Rita will offer professional recommendations to meet your objectives. This consultation will involve an in-depth analysis of your facial structure, ensuring your unique and personal characteristics are balanced.

2. SHAPING & TEMPORARY TEETH - 3.5h

Dr. Rita carefully prepares and creates the necessary space for your premium porcelain veneers by taking moulds of your teeth. A set of temporary veneers will then be fitted, which you’ll wear for about three weeks. These temporary fittings will have a similar size and shape to your final veneers but are made from plastic.

3. FEEDBACK - 30m

During this appointment, adjustments to the temporary teeth can be swiftly made, enabling you to instantly see the changes. The final porcelain veneers will be designed based on the adjusted temporary veneers’ final appearance.

4. TRY-ON AND PLACEMENT - 2h

In this appointment, we’ll remove your temporary veneers and fit your new, beautiful porcelain veneers using temporary adhesive. This allows us to assess the shape and colour. We invite you to closely examine your new smile in the mirror and take selfies to appreciate the transformation. Feel free to bring along a friend or family member for support if it helps you feel more at ease!

If you’re thrilled with your new smile and give us the go-ahead, we’ll then move forward to firmly place your veneers! But, if there’s any aspect you or Dr. Rita aren’t entirely happy with, we can perform minor tweaks right there and then. In the event that significant changes are needed, we’ll craft new veneers and fit you with a fresh set of temporary teeth in the meantime.

5. MAINTENANCE

One week following the placement of your veneers, Dr. Rita will perform a check-up to carry out any required adjustments. You’ll also receive an Aftercare Guard from us. To maintain the quality of your porcelain veneers, we recommend making an appointment every six months with Dr. Rita. These sessions will include comprehensive evaluations and cleanings. Regular oral hygiene is one of the best methods to maintain the health of both your veneers and gum.

COST OF VENEERS IN MELBOURNE

Invest in your smile

We understand that the cost of porcelain veneers is a major reason why some people are hesitant. We also think that there’s no point in sidestepping the issue, which is why we’re addressing it head on. A lot of clinics don’t reveal their prices until after you’re invested heart and soul, but we value transparency.

The cost of our porcelain dental veneers in Melbourne ranges between $1900 – $2000 per tooth. That’s because we use high quality materials to craft our veneers. But more importantly, we take pride in what we do so that you can take pride in your smile.

At the end of the day, if you’re unhappy with your smile, then we’re here to help. There’s no better investment you can make than into your smile. It’s one that will gain you returns each and every day. Whether you want to change the shape, colour, shape or size of your teeth, our porcelain veneers in Melbourne are the ideal solution.

One of the first questions our clients want to know is: How much do veneers cost in Melbourne?

The cost of veneers in Melbourne ranges quite a bit, depending on the type of veneers: composite or porcelain.

  • The cost of composite veneers in Melbourne ranges between $200-$1000.
  • The cost of porcelain veneers in Melbourne ranges between $1900-$2000.

 

It comes down to the following:

  • material: composite or porcelain
  • level of quality of material
  • how the veneers are made: hand-made or machine produced
  • who makes the veneers: an apprentice or a master ceramist
  • experience of the dentist: this doesn’t refer to the age of the dentist or how many years he or she has been a dentist but what percentage of work is actually veneers

 

At Dental & Skin Clinic our prices fall somewhere in the middle. We’re not the cheapest because that would mean compromising on the quality. We’re not the most expensive because you’re not paying for a brand.

An investment in your smile is one that will pay itself back in bucket loads over the years. The dental veneers cost in Melbourne, reflects both the labour-intensive process, and the quality of the porcelain material used. 

The porcelain veneer cost should be looked at as an investment in your future. You can’t put a price on a winning smile.

  • The cost of composite veneers in Melbourne ranges between $200-$1000.
  • The cost of porcelain veneers in Melbourne ranges between $1900-$2000.

 

Each individual porcelain veneer is custom-made from your 3D scan in your chosen shade. No part of this process is automated, which is why the porcelain veneers price in Melbourne reflects the labour-intensive process.

On the hunt for a veneers specialist near me? Quality, experience and expert craftsmanship are key, which is why we are the superior choice for veneers in Melbourne.

Our porcelain veneers package in Melbourne will give you the best quality for the best price. You will leave grinning from ear to ear.

Our clients’ beautiful smiles speak for themselves. Check out the amazing smiles we have created in our Smile Gallery.

Getting your porcelain veneers done with a qualified professional at Dental + Skin Clinic, is that they last even longer. Sadly, they’re not immortal, but they are considered a permanent fixture.

Our superior porcelain veneers will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Like your natural teeth, you can expect to notice general wear and tear as time goes on, so you need to give them proper care to get the most out of them.

Our quality dental veneers will improve your smile and give you lasting confidence. While they don’t necessarily repair your existing teeth, they can help strengthen them. The porcelain can increase the overall strength of weakened enamel to make it less susceptible to breakage and damage.

Our quality dental veneers will improve your smile and give you lasting confidence. While they don’t necessarily repair your existing teeth, they can help strengthen them. The porcelain can increase the overall strength of weakened enamel to make it less susceptible to breakage and damage.

Yes and no. While the process of applying veneers is irreversible (your natural teeth are shaved to suit the veneers), the veneers themselves aren’t a permanent solution. They will need to be replaced every 15-20 years.

While it’s nothing too drastic, you’ll need to stop chewing your fingernails or biting into really hard foods (like grains and nuts).

If you have major dental cover, you should get something back from your private health insurance. Depending on your level of cover, you can receive anything from $250 to $1500.

Treat your veneers like you would with your natural teeth. So, you’ll need to practice good oral hygiene (clean your teeth twice a day), and get bi-yearly check-ups at the dentist. You’ll also need to wear an Aftercare Guard when you sleep.

Your porcelain veneers are designed to create that beautiful, lifelike smile you want. That’s why everything – from the colour to shape, thickness, spacing and positioning – is fully customisable.

If you’re looking for a long-lasting solution to fixing gaps in your teeth, discolouration, the shape of your teeth, gummy smile or even alignment, then porcelain veneers are a great option for you.

You’ll receive a temporary set of veneers, and they’ll be placed on your natural teeth so that you can see what your new smile will look like. At this stage, you’ll be able to make any changes to how they look. Once you’re 100% happy with how the temporary veneers look, our dentist will then model the porcelain veneers based on the temporary veneers. 

On average, resin veneers last from six months to around three years. If you’re after a more sustainable option, you might want to consider porcelain veneers.

Not all porcelain veneers are made equal! Where they are made, who they are made by and how the teeth are shaped to receive the veneers all play a role on how much porcelain veneers vary. 

Dental veneers provide several benefits, such as enhancing various aspects of your teeth like colour, shape, and alignment. In some cases, they can even close gaps between teeth. They’re also minimally invasive. Lastly, they provide a quicker solution in comparison to getting braces.

We recommend you get veneers only on the teeth that show when you smile or speak. For most, this is around 8-10 veneers. Anything less – think 6 or fewer – and your smile could look too front-heavy.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to whiten your veneers. The only way to change the colour of your veneers is by completely replacing them with new ones.

On average, veneers last around 15-20 years if they are properly cared for. At your consultation, we can advise on how to best take care of your veneers.

Not all porcelain veneers are equal! Inferior products can be used to make the veneers, which is why you might see a cost variation across clinics. Just so you know, at Dental + Skin Clinic, we use the highest quality materials to craft our porcelain veneers.

There’s a few reasons why people get dental veneers. For one, they may wish to enhance their smile. Or, they want to change the appearance of their natural teeth. For others, they might want to fix discolourations that teeth whitening can’t address. Whatever your reasons, it’s a purely personal choice.

As someone who experienced anxiety when it came to dental visits, Rita and her team within the past 2 years have done so much more than just providing dental care to me and my little ones. The team is very attentive and always goes beyond to make us feel comfortable all the time. My children always look forward to their dentist appointments and enjoy it every single time. Thank you!

Scared of the dentist? You no longer have to fear your visit... Dr Rita is a highly skilled and friendly cosmetic dentist whose gentle approach and thoroughness make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking dental care. Dr Rita and her team invest their time in each patient to ensure that your oral health is prioritised along side any cosmetic adjustments you might want. They even assist with finance so that no one goes without the dental care they need. The clinic itself is less like your standard dentist clinic, but instead more like something you would see in Vogue Living. With warm, soft tones throughout the floor, you are greeted by a friendly and welcoming face at reception, and always asked if you'd like a coffee or tea! I have been to the Skin and Dental Clinic on only two occasions so far and they already feel like family. I could not recommend them more highly. Dr Rita will get to the root of the problem, I promise you.

I love dental and skin! I have a number of issues with my teeth and I’ve always found going to the dentist very nerve wracking and have found it hard to find a dentist who is compassionate. I needed a lot of dental work done and I couldn’t be more happy with my experience at Dental and Skin. The team at Dental and Skin are so wonderful, professional and helpful. Could not recommend more!
