Attached directly to your teeth with a natural look, our custom-fit veneers cover damaged, stained or cracked teeth, providing a fuller and brighter smile.
Dental veneers are thin layers of tooth-coloured dental material, usually ceramic, that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Their custom shape is moulded to fit cleanly on natural teeth to hide stains and discolouration, cover gaps or chips in the teeth, or conceal crookedness — all without disrupting functionality.
Made from either porcelain or composite resin, our veneers mimic the appearance of teeth, and when applied properly should look like improved versions of your natural teeth. Veneers are attached using specialised dental bonding agents to ensure they last and can withstand regular biting and chewing forces.
Veneers are a popular option for anyone unhappy with the look of their teeth or smile, typically in response to issues like severe staining, crookedness, gaps, chips or fractures. We recommend waiting until at least the age of 18 before getting veneers to ensure most of your teeth and jaws have developed. Veneers are not recommended for anyone with active gum disease, poor oral hygiene or significant tooth malalignment — these issues will need to be addressed first.
While focused primarily on a visual restoration, veneers also provide strength to teeth that have been weakened by gaps or previous damage, with key benefits including:
We begin by analysing whether you have enough enamel to support veneers. If so, we shave a thin amount of your enamel away on each tooth to provide a smooth surface for the veneers to attach to. Your new smile would have previously been designed with digital dental design software.
Once your teeth are prepared, we take a 3D Intra-Oral Digital impression and use this to custom-create your perfect-fitting veneers using the previously determined digital design.
You may have been wearing temporary veneers which will need to be removed before the final ones can be placed. Using a specialised dental bonding agent, we permanently affix your veneers to your teeth and adjust them if necessary to make sure they are a perfect fit.
Our team prioritises excellence and patient satisfaction. With over 30 years of combined dental and cosmetic experience, we ensure every patient enjoys a tailored treatment plan to suit their needs.

The cost of veneers can vary depending on the material used and how many are required. Our porcelain veneers begin at $1,750 per tooth, offering a durable and lasting option, while our composite veneers begin at $600 per tooth. Our dentists will provide a comprehensive quote for you based on your individual circumstances and the number of veneers you need.
Veneers are not permanent but should last at least 10 to 15 years and more with proper care and maintenance. Due to normal wear over time or damage, they may require a replacement, though thorough oral hygiene and proper care will help preserve them.
Veneers can improve the appearance of poorly shaped or crooked teeth by covering them, but they aren’t a comprehensive solution for alignment issues, as they don’t change the actual position of the teeth. In cases where the teeth are crooked, placing veneers without some tooth alignment may make the veneers appear bulky and not natural.
The placement of veneers is typically a pain-free experience. Your dentist will use a small amount of local anaesthetic to reduce any discomfort you may feel.
Caring for veneers is the same as looking after your natural teeth. It involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including brushing your teeth at least twice daily, and using a soft-bristled toothbrush with fluoride toothpaste. Individuals should also floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from under the gums and between the teeth, and attend regular check-ups.
Veneers can be damaged if you bite into foods that are too hard, chew on ice, or use your teeth to open plastic packages or beer bottle (yes, it happens). Avoiding these habits will help preserve your veneers for longer.
If your veneer gets damaged, schedule an appointment with your dentist for repair or replacement. If the veneer is mostly intact, there’s a good chance it can be reapplied, depending on the complexity of the damage.
The cost of dental veneers may be partially covered by many private health funds as part of your overall extras cover, but they are typically not included in basic dental cover.
Veneers are a good cosmetic solution to cover teeth with significant gaps, noticeable stains or poor colouring, as well as chipped or broken teeth. Other aesthetic issues including crooked or irregularly-shaped teeth can also be covered by veneers to create a more uniform smile appearance.
Because veneers are a cosmetic treatment and not a full orthodontic treatment, most people can get them, but it is important to wait until teeth are fully set in their positions. If teeth move after getting veneers, they may move away from the gum line, creating a poor appearance and opening up the teeth to hygiene issues. We recommend waiting until you are at least 18 before getting veneers.
