One of the cosmetic dentistry options we offer at our Wellington Point and Victoria Point practices is veneers. If you are looking to transform your smile, or to change the shape, colour and overall appearance of your teeth, then veneers may be a dental treatment for you to consider.

Veneers are aesthetic restorations that can improve the size, shape, colour and appearance of teeth. Veneers are made of a thin, custom-made tooth surface, which is securely bonded to the surface of the tooth and perfectly colour matched to the rest of your smile. Veneers are very real, and they are also incredibly strong, making them a fantastic solution for those looking to enhance their smile confidence. 

At Floss Family Dental, our Dentists will work closely with you to design your perfect veneers. We will work with you to understand what attributes you would like in your teeth and smile, so that the outcome is a smile you absolutely adore.

PROCESS OF MAKING, FITTING AND APPLYING VENEERS

Porcelain teeth veneers in Brisbane cost more than any composite veneers. This is because the tooth preparation required for the porcelain veneers process is more extensive.

MAKING PORCELAIN VENEERS

To begin the process of making porcelain veneers, dentists either use CAD/CAM technology to create a computer design of your veneers. Alternatively, they grind down the patient’s teeth to make an impression/ mould to send to a dental laboratory for the creation of the porcelain veneers.

MAKING COMPOSITE VENEERS

After slightly etching the surface of each tooth, a thin layer of composite material will be applied to your teeth and cured with a special light until you achieve your desired veneer smile.

APPLYING YOUR VENEERS

Once the veneers are received from the dental lab, or made directly in the dentist’s office using their own technology, they are ready to be applied. 

First, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that any veneers applied to the tooth’s surface won’t trap bacteria and cause tooth decay. As veneers are thin tooth coloured shells that are bonded to the front surface of the entire tooth, your teeth need to be grinded down slightly to create a texture that they can stick to. Once this process is complete, your dentist will use dental cement to apply veneers to each prepared tooth.

At Floss we ensure that every patients’ veneers look natural. Once your veneers are applied, they will perfectly match your face and existing teeth.

HOW MUCH DO PORCELAIN VENEERS COST IN BRISBANE?

Due to the type of material a porcelain veneer is made out of, they are the most expensive type of veneer. They are closer to an investment of around $1500 per veneer. However, because they are made using ceramic materials, they are strong, durable, long lasting permanent veneers, and worth the investment.

HOW MUCH DO COMPOSITE VENEERS IN BRISBANE COST?

Composite resin veneers, on average, are around $650 per tooth. Although composite veneers are more affordable, they are also slightly more temporary veneers due to the use of resin composite materials. However, these veneers are still a good option to restore your smile.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VENEERS

  • Practice good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth as you would your natural teeth, but use a toothbrush with soft bristles. 
  • Avoid grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw. Use a retainer, splint, or mouthguard when advised by your dentist.
  • Avoid chewing with your front teeth whenever possible. 
  • Avoid biting hard food or objects such as chewing on ice. 
  • Avoid food and drinks that stain. 
  • Get a professional cleaning with your dentist every 6 months.
