Porcelain Veneers IN alfredton and BALLARAT
Tired of a dull, discoloured smile? For smile makeovers, porcelain veneers are an affordable and effective option.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic porcelain wafers that are placed over the teeth and permanently bonded to the enamel.
Porcelain veneers are a great choice when
- Your teeth are discoloured
- You have chipped or fractured a tooth
- Your teeth are misaligned, uneven, or irregular
- You have gaps between the teeth
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
- Porcelain veneers are affordable, aesthetic, and stain resistant.
- A veneer can cover chipped teeth, cracks or discolouration efficiently
- It looks like the natural tooth, and also feels like natural teeth
- Since it is a non-invasive material, very little tooth enamel needs to be reduced
- Unlike resins, porcelain is not porous so it does not take on stains easily
- Porcelain can last for 16-20 years if properly cared for
What is the procedure like?
The entire procedure from preparing the tooth to placing the veneer would take about 4-6 weeks. An anaesthetic is not required for this procedure as it is non-invasive.
Start with a consultation
Like any smile makeover, we first start with a consult. During this initial consultation, we will discuss your desired outcomes. Don't be afraid to discuss your concerns, budget, and aspirations. After an extensive examination of your teeth and a discussion with the cosmetic dentist, we will provide a personalised recommendation for you.
Once you give consent to move forward with the recommended treatment plan, we will digitally assess and design your new smile, and create the temporaries.
Prepping
Once the temporaries are ready, we try them on your teeth. At this stage, we can refine the colour, shape, and size of the veneers to make them a perfect fit for your facial features.
After the prep work and trial fitting with the temporaries, we take impressions of your newly prepped teeth and create the final porcelain veneers.
Cementing
Once your personalised porcelain veneers are ready, we will remove the temporaries and you can try on the new veneers. If any changes are to be made, we will make them on the spot.
We make sure that you are 100% happy with your new veneers and smile before anything is made permanent. Once you give us the go ahead, we will cement the new veneers in place.
Porcelain veneers can last a very long time with little care, like using non-abrasive toothpaste. Brushing needs to be gentle and not overzealous. The toothpaste should be free of baking soda, to maintain the glaze of the veneer.
