With social media being so prevalent today, many people are seeking ways to achieve a brighter, more confident smile. In the past, cosmetic dental treatments such as veneers were often associated with celebrities, but today these options are more accessible to a wider range of patients.

Veneers Sydney are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are placed over the natural tooth surface to enhance the appearance of the smile. They can help improve the look of teeth that are discoloured, chipped, worn, or uneven, and may also assist in creating a more uniform shape and alignment.

At our clinic, we offer two main types of veneers:

  • Composite veneers

  • Porcelain veneers

The main difference between these lies in the material used and the associated cost. During your initial consultation, our dentists will discuss your goals, assess your oral health, and help determine the most suitable type of veneers for your lifestyle and desired outcome.

To learn more about veneers and whether they may be right for you, we encourage you to book a consultation with our dental team.

  • Composite Resin Veneers: Interest free payment plan from $30/week
  • Porcelain Ceramic Veneers: Interest free payment plan from $57/week
    • If you require more than six veneers, reduced rates may be available. Our Sydney-based dental ceramist offers cost savings for larger case volumes, and we pass these savings on to our patients. Additional savings may apply for cases involving more than 10 porcelain veneers.

We also offer a warranty program for our veneers, covering specific aspects of the treatment. Full details, including terms and conditions, can be provided during your consultation.

At Sydney CBD Dentistry, we offer both porcelain and composite resin dental veneers to suit different needs and preferences. It is important that you read the information provided by us, as well as having a proper consultation with any dentist.

Composite veneers are made of the composite resin material, such as those used in white fillings, and are built up on the tooth. Composite resin is a polymer based material filled by ceramic particles. Minimal preparation may be required of the teeth prior to the composite veneers being placed.

The advantages of composite veneers are that they can be done in one appointment, they are not as invasive to the natural tooth, and they are the more budget friendly option for the same smile. It is the most flexible dental material, both in its usage and characteristics. Composite resin can be used to cover up certain stains on teeth as well as be built up on smaller upper teeth.

Some drawbacks to composite veneers are that they are inherently weaker when compared to porcelain veneers, making them more prone to chipping over time. They are also prone to stains over their lifetime and will need replacing or repairing more frequently because of that.

  • Composite Resin can be carefully adapted to tooth structures with minimal or no cutting to tooth structures
  • Can often blend into the tooth structure seamlessly
  • Ideal material for minimally invasive dental veneer material
  • Allows the dentist and patients to immediately change the smile with simple addition and reduction to best suit the patient’s preferences.

The average expected life-span of the veneers range between 5-10 years, with higher possibility of repairs required due to chipping and staining which may compound to long term cost to the restoration*. We often recommend this treatment as a minimally invasive option and for those patients who are new to the veneer dental treatment for its reversibility and conservative nature**.

We also recommend this as a transitional veneer to aid our patients decide on what their desired final aesthetic is and can be upgraded to ceramic veneers.***

* Repairs incur a standard restoration cost.
** Tooth preparation varies significantly between individuals. Your dentist will be able to advise this on examination.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells made of porcelain that are bonded to the front of the teeth. They are crafted in a dental laboratory by skilled technicians, based on the shape and shade selected in consultation with your dentist.

Dental ceramics have been widely used in restorative dentistry for many years. One popular material, Emax, is known for its durability and aesthetic qualities and has been applied successfully in a range of cosmetic and restorative treatments for over a decade.

Porcelain veneers offer several advantages. Compared to composite veneers, they tend to resist staining more effectively, are generally stronger and less prone to chipping, and may provide improved coverage for certain misalignments or intrinsic stains. They can be customised to closely match natural teeth or designed in a lighter shade for a brighter appearance.

There are also considerations to keep in mind. Treatment usually requires at least two visits, the process involves some tooth preparation, veneers can occasionally become dislodged and need to be re-cemented, and porcelain is typically the more costly option compared with composite veneers.

Emax (lithium disilicate) has become one of the most widely used dental ceramics over the past decade. Known for its combination of strength and aesthetics, it offers high resistance to fracture while maintaining a natural appearance. Emax has been successfully applied in a range of treatments worldwide, including thin veneers, dental crowns, bridges, and implant restorations, where both durability and aesthetics are important. Its performance has been supported by clinical studies and long-term use in everyday dental practice.

The average life expectancy is between 10-20 years, depending on the actual ceramic materials and techniques as well as the lifestyle habits, diet and oral hygiene of the individual treated with veneers.

The process of getting veneers usually involves a few appointments to design, prepare, and place the veneers.

Initial Consultation
The first appointment is an important step, where you can have an open discussion with your dentist about your goals and preferences for your smile. At this visit, you may talk about the shade, shape, and type of veneer material that could be most suitable. Impressions, photos, or scans may also be taken. In some cases, a comprehensive check-up and cleaning may be recommended before veneer placement to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and well-prepared.

Questions you may wish to consider include:

  • What type of smile appearance do you prefer?

  • Would you like a whiter or brighter smile?

  • Are there gaps or spaces you want to address?

  • Do you want to change the shape of your teeth?

  • How many veneers are you considering?

  • What are your expectations from treatment?

  • What costs may be involved now and in the future?

Sometimes, additional treatments such as orthodontics (braces or clear aligners), gum contouring, or tooth whitening may be recommended before veneers to help achieve the best outcome.

Composite Veneers
For composite veneers, the veneers are usually placed in a single appointment after preparation. This can be a longer visit, as each tooth is shaped and the veneer material is bonded in place. It may take a week or two to get used to your new veneers, and a review appointment is often scheduled to check your comfort and make any necessary adjustments.

Porcelain Veneers
For porcelain veneers, two or more appointments are usually required after the consultation. At the first appointment, the teeth are prepared and temporary veneers are placed while the custom porcelain veneers are being made in the laboratory. These temporary veneers are more fragile, so care is needed until the final veneers are fitted.

At the final appointment, the temporary veneers are removed and the porcelain veneers are bonded in place. It may take some time to adjust to the new feel of your smile, and a follow-up appointment is often scheduled to ensure everything is fitting and functioning well.

The aftercare of veneers are very similar to that of your natural teeth. Good brushing and daily flossing is expected, paired with a diet limited in sugary foods and drinks.

Good gum health is also important to maintain not only the veneers but the teeth that have been veneered, so we encourage you to come in and see us every 6 months for a regular dental clean and check up on them.

A customised night guard may be advised by the dentist to protect the veneers which comes at an additional cost.

  1. The warranty is limited to failures of materials, including debonding/fallen off and fracture of materials. It does not apply to recurrent dental decays, or loss of tooth due to accidents, gum diseases, and dental abscesses.
  2. Patient must have had dental examinations and cleans at least twice a year at our practices. If the patient is an existing patient at our practices, some discretion consideration is applicable should the patient failed to attend for regular examinations and hygiene maintenance.
