Understand Your Porcelain Veneer Options

Custom Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of selected teeth. They can change the appearance of tooth shape, colour, edges and small gaps. At Sydney Dental Veneers | Cosmetique Dental, your dentist will assess whether they are suitable for your teeth and bite.

A Long-Term Treatment Decision

Each veneer is made for the tooth it will cover. Porcelain resists staining, but veneers and the underlying teeth still need care and can need repair or replacement. Tooth preparation may remove enamel permanently. Your consultation will cover benefits, risks and alternatives, including composite bonding, whitening or clear aligners.

What Happens During Veneer Treatment?

Start with a complimentary cosmetic consultation, then take time to consider the plan. If you choose to proceed, your dentist will guide you through preparation, laboratory work, fitting and aftercare. The number and timing of visits depend on your needs.

1. Your Cosmetic Consultation

Discuss the changes you are considering and have your teeth, gums and bite assessed. Your eligible consultation is complimentary, with scans, photographs and X-rays where clinically necessary. Ask about porcelain, composite and other suitable options.

2. Planning the Shape and Shade

Your dentist and the laboratory consider your preferences alongside tooth proportions and bite. A proposed design or preview can help explain the plan; it is an illustration, not a guarantee of the final result.

3. Tooth Preparation and Temporaries

If you decide to proceed, your dentist prepares the teeth as required and records their shape. Enamel removal is irreversible. Temporary veneers may be used while your final restorations are made.

4. Making Your Porcelain Veneers

The laboratory creates your custom ceramic veneers using the agreed design and shade. Communication between your dentist and the ceramists supports the planning of details and any necessary adjustments.

5. Fitting and Bite Checks

Your dentist checks the shape, shade and fit with you before bonding the veneers. Your bite is reviewed and adjustments are made where appropriate.

6. Review and Ongoing Care

Return for your recommended review and follow the cleaning and maintenance advice. Veneers can chip, loosen or need replacement; contact us if your bite changes or you notice damage.

We offer a 5 year conditioned warranty to Emax restorations*

  1. This warranty specifically covers structural material failures, including ceramic fracturing, chipping, or debonding (restoration coming loose). It does not extend to secondary tooth decay, physical trauma or accidental impact, progressive gum disease, root canal infections, or dental abscesses affecting the underlying natural tooth structure.
  2. To keep the warranty valid, patients must attend routine dental examinations and professional cleans at least twice per year at our practices. For established patients of our practice, discretionary exceptions may be considered if an examination or hygiene appointment was missed due to extenuating circumstances.

Veneer Warranty and Treatment Conditions

  1. Our 5-year limited warranty for Porcelain Veneers covers structural material breakage and failures. It does not apply to pre-existing conditions or newly developing dental diseases unrelated to the veneer restoration. To remain eligible for warranty coverage, patients must present for routine 6-monthly scale and clean appointments at any of our practice locations to maintain optimal oral health and hygiene.
  2. No warranty applies to composite resin veneers. Composite can stain, chip or wear and may need polishing, repair or replacement. Your dentist will discuss the maintenance needs of suitable materials. A custom nightguard may be recommended by your dentist to protect composite restorations against chipping or wear.
  3. Veneers are not suitable for every tooth or concern. Your dentist will discuss suitable options, limitations, risks and alternatives, including no cosmetic treatment, before you decide.

Treatment usually involves a consultation and planning visit, a preparation appointment and a fitting appointment. The exact number of visits depends on your case and any treatment needed beforehand. The steps are outlined earlier on this page.
