The Benefits of Veneers
Whether you choose porcelain or composite veneers, you can experience a variety of benefits.
- 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 while providing a durable and long-lasting cosmetic enhancement.
- Veneers are versatile and highly customisable. They are custom-made to match your natural teeth shape, size, and colour, creating a seamless and natural appearance. Veneers can correct a single tooth or enhance your entire smile, in a way that creates a harmonious and balanced look.
- Veneers are known for their stain-resistant properties. The veneer materials are highly resistant to staining from common culprits like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. This means that your veneers will maintain their bright and vibrant appearance for a long time! However, some maintenance tips should still be followed to help you benefit from quality veneers in the longer term.

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 offer a long-lasting, radiant smile that resists stains, resembling natural tooth enamel.
Composite veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin material, often requiring just one appointment for placement. They are a suitable choice for minor cosmetic improvements, offering a quick solution to conceal issues like small chips and gaps.
Both options can provide natural-looking results, highly personalised and customised to be made in the desired colours and shaped to suit you best.
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 best for you!
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 smile 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 expert 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 dream smile!
Step 2
Temporary Veneers and In-Mouth Trial Smile
At your next visit, we will carefully prepare and even out your teeth to ensure sufficient space for your new veneers.
New scans will be taken, and your temporary veneers and trial smile will be inserted. These temporaries act as a blueprint for your final veneers and ensure we will achieve a beautiful bespoke result that is perfect for you.
Step 3
Veneer Placement
Once our perfectionist ceramists have hand-carved your veneers in Australia from the highest quality materials, you will be called back into our luxury studio to insert your bespoke porcelain veneers and unveil your final smile.
Veneers can be your solution if you have:
- Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
- Stained or discoloured teeth
- Oddly shaped teeth
- Gaps or crooked teeth
For those who want to achieve a fast smile makeover before their big day or for those who may be self-conscious about the gaps in their smile! As the colour, shape and symmetry can all be changed and achieved in one go, veneers are a great smile makeover treatment!
Caring for Your Veneers
Caring for your veneers ensures their longevity and maintains your new smile! You’ll be given some personalised care tips at our clinic to help you maintain your results so that you can enjoy them for as long as possible.
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, ensuring a lasting enhancement to your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a suitable candidate for veneers?
Veneers can be ideal for those with healthy teeth and gums who want to address cosmetic issues like stains, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments.
How long do veneers typically last?
Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more, while composite veneers can have a shorter lifespan, usually around five to seven years. Proper maintenance of your veneers can help you enjoy their appearance and functionality for longer.
Do veneers feel different from natural teeth?
Initially, there might be a slight adjustment period, but veneers should feel and function like natural teeth once you get used to them!
Are veneers reversible?
Composite veneers can be removed, while porcelain veneers require permanent alteration to the tooth enamel. We recommend discussing reversibility during your consultation before choosing a veneer type.
Do veneers hurt during the placement process?
Placing veneers is typically not painful, as local anaesthesia is used to numb the area. Some patients may experience mild discomfort afterwards, but this can be managed with some aftercare steps that can be provided during your consultation.
Can veneers fix major orthodontic issues?
Veneers are primarily a cosmetic solution that is not designed to correct major orthodontic problems. They are generally more suitable for minor alignment issues.
How many appointments are needed for a veneer treatment?
The process requires only a few appointments – your consultation, a visit to trial your veneers, and an appointment for your placement!
