Veneers are thin porcelain or composite coverings bonded to the front of selected teeth. They may change colour, shape or proportions, but they do not treat active decay, gum disease or an unsuitable bite. A consultation should compare veneers with less invasive options before any tooth preparation begins.
$50 deposit required at the time of booking.
Veneers may alter the visible colour, shape, length or spacing of selected teeth. They do not move teeth, correct the bite or remove the need to treat decay and gum disease.
Veneers may alter the visible contour, length or edge of selected front teeth where clinically suitable.
They may mask some discolouration, but the veneer shade cannot simply be whitened after it is bonded.
Veneers may mask minor visual spacing concerns, but they do not move teeth or correct an unsuitable bite.
Decay, gum disease, cracks, heavy wear or grinding may need treatment or a different approach first.
Porcelain and composite veneers use different workflows. The decision should also account for tooth preparation, repairability, cost and future replacement.
Usually custom-made outside the mouth and commonly involve more than one appointment.
Composite resin is applied and shaped directly on the tooth, sometimes in one appointment.
The amount of enamel changed varies. Do not assume a veneer will be removable without consequences.
Whitening, localised bonding, aligners, crowns or no cosmetic treatment may be reasonable options.
The consultation is not a commitment to treatment. It should help you understand the diagnosis, realistic options, tooth preparation, likely stages, limitations and long-term responsibilities.
Explain what concerns you, why you are considering treatment and what result would feel acceptable.
Check teeth, gums, enamel, restorations, bite and grinding. Records or X-rays may be recommended where clinically justified.
Compare materials, tooth reduction, stages, risks, full fees, maintenance, no treatment and whether a second opinion may help.
The plan should explain what happens to the natural teeth now and what may be required years later.
Ask how much tooth structure may be removed and what that means if a veneer later fails.
Gum health matters, and future recession may expose the edge of a veneer.
Clenching, grinding or heavy contact can increase chipping and maintenance risks.
Veneers keep their selected shade while nearby natural teeth may change colour over time.
Cosmetic goals are only one part of the decision. Disease, enamel, bite, expectations and willingness to maintain the restorations can all change the plan.
Decay, gum inflammation and unstable restorations should be addressed before elective cosmetic care.
Bonding conditions, fillings, cracks and remaining enamel affect preparation and material choice.
Tooth position, edge contact, clenching and grinding can affect fracture and debonding risk.
Whitening and the colour of untreated teeth should be planned before the final veneer shade is chosen.
Cleaning, reviews, repairs, gum changes and eventual replacement should be part of financial consent.
Bonding, whitening, orthodontics, crowns, no treatment or specialist input may be more appropriate.
Veneers are elective and not risk-free. Consider the effect on the natural teeth, possible complications and future financial commitment.
Some veneers require permanent changes to enamel, creating an ongoing need for a restoration.
Teeth may become sensitive, and changes to the bite can contribute to jaw or tooth discomfort.
A veneer can chip or come off, and gum recession may make the edge more visible.
Natural teeth can change colour while veneers do not, and repair or replacement can add future costs.
Some preparation may be irreversible. Even well-maintained veneers can chip, debond, no longer match neighbouring teeth or need replacement.
Ask for realistic limitations, time to consider the decision and a second opinion if you remain uncertain.
Financial consent should cover the immediate treatment and likely future care. Costs vary with material, number of teeth, records, preparation, provisional stages and any treatment needed first.
A useful consultation should answer what problem the veneers are intended to solve, what will happen to the natural teeth and what responsibilities continue after treatment.

These pages explain options that may address colour, shape, position, tooth damage or wider restorative needs with different levels of tooth preparation.
No. Active decay, gum disease, limited enamel, unstable restorations, heavy grinding or an unsuitable bite may need treatment or a different option. Suitability also depends on expectations and willingness to maintain the veneers.
Porcelain veneers are generally custom-made from an impression or digital scan and commonly require more than one appointment. Composite resin is layered and shaped directly on the tooth and may be completed in fewer visits. Costs, repair options and maintenance differ.
The amount of tooth preparation varies. Some cases need little preparation, while others require permanent enamel removal. Do not assume a veneer can be removed without the tooth needing another restoration.
No. Veneers can mask some minor visual spacing or alignment concerns, but they do not move teeth or correct an unsuitable bite. Orthodontic treatment may be a more appropriate option.
Possible issues include sensitivity, jaw or bite discomfort, chipping, fracture, debonding, visible margins if gums recede, decay around the edges and colour mismatch as neighbouring teeth change over time.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between the teeth every day and attend regular dental reviews. A protective appliance may be discussed if you clench or grind.
Fees and appointment numbers depend on the material, number of teeth, planning records, preparation and any dental care needed first. Porcelain commonly involves multiple visits, while composite may sometimes be completed in one appointment.
This information is general and does not replace professional dental advice. Veneers are elective procedures and are not risk-free. Porcelain veneer treatment may involve irreversible tooth preparation and an ongoing need for maintenance, repair or replacement.
Suitability depends on teeth, gums, enamel, bite, grinding, existing restorations and expectations. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed. You should understand the alternatives, financial commitment and future care before consenting.
Book a consultation to compare porcelain and composite veneers with whitening, bonding, orthodontics, crowns or no treatment—and to understand preparation, risks, fees and future maintenance.
