Before starting Porcelain Veneers Treatment
Do I have to have my teeth cleaned before the procedure?
It is recommended to have a full exam and clean as healthy and clean teeth are a pre-condition for a successful result.
I have a gap between my front teeth. Are veneers a solution for me?
Yes! If the opening is not too large, veneers can close the gap perfectly.
I have tried to whiten my teeth, but I was disappointed about the result. Are veneers a solution?
Yes, veneers offer a permanent solution for seriously discoloured teeth.
My teeth are crooked and overlap. Do I have to wear braces or are veneers a solution for me?
Veneers can change the shape, size and alignment of your teeth, making your teeth look more even and symmetric. Dr Deevya or Dr Ri Yon will need to analyse your teeth and he can advise you if you are a good candidate for Veneers.
I see that veneers look just like traditional porcelain veneers yet they cost a lot less. How can that be?
Advancements in veneer production and delivery technology have made it possible for Veneers to create a full arch of high quality porcelain veneers that can be placed quickly and easily and with absolute precision in about one hour.
Traditional veneers are far more labour intensive. With traditional veneers the natural teeth are ground down in preparation of the veneers. Next, temporaries are prepared and fitted. Weeks later, each individual veneer is placed one at a time.
From start to finish, the traditional veneer placement process takes many times longer to complete than the Veneers procedure. It is this time saving feature that makes veneers a much more affordable veneer solution.
Can any dentist provide the Veneer procedure?
No, unlike traditional porcelain veneers only a limited number of specifically trained dentists are able to do the Veneers procedure. Brisbane Elite Dental was the first dental practice to achieve veneers certification in Brisbane. This ensures you get the best possible results.
Porcelain Veneers Treatment
Is it painful and safe?
In most cases there is little or no tooth preparation so it is not painful. Teeth remain intact and unchanged, therefore the treatment is completely safe.
How many veneers will be fitted?
Depending on how broad your smile is, 6, 8 or 10 veneers will be fitted on the top and or the bottom. If you only choose upper veneers, the lower teeth will usually be whitened.
How many visits to the dentist are required?
Just two short visits to our practice. During the first visit photographs and mouth impressions will be made. The veneers are then placed during the second visit.
What does a treatment with veneers cost?
Make your dream smile a reality without the high cost! Now everyone can afford to experience the confidence and joy of a stunning smile. Finally, it’s smile design based on your desires, not your budget.
Veneer custom designed porcelain veneers can be yours for a fraction of the price of traditional porcelain veneers. Although we would need to consult you first in order to quote your individual situation please call the Brisbane Smile Centre for a consultation. We also offer finance options with Mac Credit or GEM Visa.
After Porcelain Veneers Treatment
Can veneers break or crack?
Veneers are of an exceptional quality. However, you have to take care of them, just as you would your natural teeth. You have to avoid point-to-point contacts. For instance, biting your nails is absolutely forbidden. If a veneer breaks or cracks, the single veneer can be replaced.
How long do the veneers last?
Nothing is forever: not crowns , not dental bridges and neither are veneers. However, experience shows us that they can last 10 to 15 years. Of course, it depends on your personal dental hygiene and if you take good care of your veneers, you can probably keep them much longer.
What if I get caries on one of my teeth?
No problem: we can handle it on the inside or from the bottom.
How can I best take care of my veneers?
To protect your stunning white teeth, conscientious dental hygiene is a main factor. Brushing your teeth correctly twice a day is indispensable and flossing is also part of the daily routine. You should also visit us every six months for your check- up and cleans.
Can I still eat anything I want?
With veneers you can still eat everything. You only have to avoid point-to-point contact.
