Dental Veneers Bundaberg

Dental veneers may be the perfect option if you have cosmetic concerns with your smile, as they can improve the appearance of your teeth.

What are dental veneers?

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain which cosmetically enhance your smile by reshaping your teeth and covering up discolouration. They are commonly used for just the front eight teeth and only cover the frontside of the tooth.

Why would you need veneers?

 Veneers are used to improve the visual aesthetics of a tooth in the following circumstances:

• Discoloured or darkened teeth
• Chipped, worn down or broken teeth
• Uneven or crooked teeth
• Cover up spaces between teeth
• Alternative to braces

What is the process for getting dental veneers?

The treatment process for dental veneers begins with an initial consultation where our experienced dentists will decide whether you are suitable for dental veneers or not.

If veneers are the right cosmetic treatment for you, then the treatment plan will go as follows:

1. We will begin with examining your dental health, including your teeth, gums and soft tissue to ensure you have no ongoing oral health problems. Any issues should be taken care of prior to cosmetic dentistry.
2. The next step is for a small amount of enamel to be removed from each tooth to make room for the veneers to sit. You will also have impressions of your smile taken using photographs, radiographs and digital scans, before and after removal of the enamel.
3. The impressions will be digitally sent to a dental laboratory where your custom veneers will be fabricated.
4. Once your veneers are made and our team receives them back, you will be called back in to receive them. Your veneers will be bonded to your teeth using a special bonding solution.

The benefits of dental veneers

There are multiple benefits to choosing veneers:

• Strong and durable
• Natural aesthetics
• Tooth-coloured

Longevity of dental veneers

If you take care of your dental veneers, and treat them just like your natural teeth, you can expect for them to last for more than 10 years.

For the best results and longevity, make sure to brush your teeth twice a day, floss your teeth and rinse your mouth out regularly.
