Veneers

The Reasons for Veneers

Many factors may prompt a person to choose porcelain or composite veneers.

• Veneers are minimally invasive in nature. To prepare the teeth for veneer placement, only a small amount of enamel, typically less than a millimetre, needs to be removed. This is significantly less than what is required for procedures like dental crowns. As a result, veneers preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
• Veneers are versatile and highly customisable. They are custom-made to match your natural teeth shape, size, and colour. Veneers can target a single tooth or multiple teeth.
• Veneers are known for their stain-resistant properties. The veneer materials are resistant to staining from common culprits like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. However, some maintenance tips should still be followed to help maintain the longevity.

Veneers come in either composite or porcelain and can be created for individual teeth or multiple, depending on your desired outcome.

Veneers may be an option for you if you:

• Have chipped, cracked or broken teeth
• Have stained or discoloured teeth
• Don’t like the shape of your teeth
• Have gaps or crooked teeth

The Difference Between Porcelain and Composite Veneers

Porcelain and composite veneers are both popular options, each with its own set of advantages.

Porcelain veneers are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain, known for their durability and natural appearance. They are considered long lasting and resistant to stains.

Composite veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin material, often requiring just one appointment for placement. They may be a suitable choice for minor cosmetic issues, like small chips and gaps.

Both options are highly personalised and customised.

Ultimately, the choice between them depends on your goals and individual circumstances. A consultation at Oasis Dental Studio in Brisbane, Pottsville or the Gold Coast will help you to decide which option is most appropriate.

Step 1

Complimentary Consultation & Personalised Treatment Plan

The first step in our advanced dentistry protocols is to map the patient’s face, not only assessing your facial structure but the way you speak, your bite patterns and also what an optimal outcome looks like for you.

We will collaboratively create a treatment plan that works within your budget, timeframe and goals. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to have a non-judgemental professional guide you through all of your options, have the space to make informed decisions and walk away with a clear treatment plan. This step can be performed via Zoom for our overseas and interstate patients.

The next step is to take a scan of your teeth so our passionate ceramists can start in the lab designing your veneers.

Step 2

Temporary Veneers and In-Mouth Trial

At your next visit, we will carefully prepare and even out your teeth to help ensure sufficient space for your new veneers.

New scans will be taken, and your temporary veneers and trial veneers will be inserted. These temporaries act as a blueprint for your final veneers.

Step 3

Veneer Placement

Once our ceramists have hand-carved your veneers in Australia from quality materials, you will be called back into our studio to insert your final porcelain veneers.

Veneers can be an option for you if you have:

• Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
• Stained or discoloured teeth
• Irregularly shaped teeth/li>
• Gaps or crooked teeth

Caring for Your Veneers

Caring for your veneers helps ensure their longevity. You’ll be given some personalised care tips at our clinic to help you care for your veneers.

Practicing good oral hygiene is essential! Regular brushing and flossing help prevent plaque buildup, which can lead to gum disease and potential veneer damage.

If you have a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth, a night guard can protect your veneers from damage caused by these actions. You should make an appointment to discuss this option if you are worried about this habit.

Regular dental check-ups are also crucial, allowing your dentist to monitor the condition of your veneers and address any concerns promptly. With proper care, veneers can maintain their appearance and functionality for many years, although you should discuss the potential longevity with us during your consultation.
