Considering Veneers?. Start With a Consultation. In a no-fee veneer assessment we look at your teeth and gums, listen to what you’d like to change and explain what veneers can and can’t do. Nothing is decided on the day. You leave with clear next steps to consider in your own time.
Please select your clinical situation for relevant information about different types of veneers
Treatment involving 6-10 veneers on upper front teeth to address multiple cosmetic concerns across the visible smile zone.
Some cosmetic concerns cannot be addressed with individual veneers or alternative treatments. Multiple veneer treatment may be considered when widespread issues affect most visible front teeth.
Treatment Approach. Multiple veneer treatment requires coordination of colour, shape, and bite function across all treated teeth. Digital treatment planning allows visualisation of proposed changes before tooth preparation begins.
Initial consultation available to assess suitability for Multiple Veneers treatment in Brisbane.
Please expect 1-2 weeks of mild sensitivity, especially to cold. Avoid hard foods for 48 hours while the bonding cement fully sets. A night guard may be necessary if you grind your teeth. Regular 6-month check-ups monitor veneer condition and gum health.
Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions covering eating guidelines, oral hygiene techniques, and signs to watch for that require immediate attention.
Veneer treatment for small cosmetic issues involving 2-4 teeth.
Initial consultation available to assess treatment options
Information and consultation for replacing existing veneers or crowns. We discuss timing, options and fees before any treatment.
Veneers may require replacement over time due to normal wear or changes in surrounding teeth and gums. Replacement timing varies by case based on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces and the original restoration condition.
Clinical examination helps determine if replacement, repair or monitoring is most appropriate. Not all aged veneers require immediate replacement; some may be maintained with proper care.
Photos document current condition and help discuss replacement approaches if indicated.
Initial consultation required to assess suitability for this type of veneer treatment.
Replacement differs from original veneer placement because existing veneers must be carefully removed and old cement cleaned away. The underlying tooth is then checked for any issues before new veneers can be considered. Additional tooth preparation may or may not be required, depending on the individual case.
Replacement provides an opportunity to discuss newer ceramic materials that may offer different properties compared to older veneers.
Laboratory techniques continue to develop and can discuss current options during your initial consultation.
Initial consultation available to assess suitability for Multiple Veneers treatment in Brisbane.
Underlying tooth condition: Issues discovered during removal may require additional treatment before new veneers can be considered.
Multiple replacements: If several veneers need replacement, treatment may be staged depending on clinical needs and patient preference.
Adjacent teeth: Color changes in untreated teeth may affect final appearance; options can be discussed.
Brisbane dental practice offering condensed appointment scheduling for FIFO workers and interstate patients
Initial consultation required to assess suitability for Élevé Veneers treatment in our Brisbane clinic.
Porcelain veneers typically require 4-6 appointments over 6-8 weeks at most dental practices. The Élevé approach may allow completion in 2-3 visits over 7-14 days through digital workflow protocols and in-house ceramic processing, where clinically appropriate.
This condensed timeline involves performing consultation, digital scanning, and tooth preparation in one extended appointment when suitable. Digital design occurs between visits, with veneer placement possible from 7 days later, depending on individual clinical requirements.
Élevé veneers use digital scanning to create 3D maps of your teeth before any preparation begins. This data guides both the veneer design and tooth preparation, aiming to remove only the enamel thickness needed for each specific tooth rather than using standard preparation depths.
Fees vary by number of teeth, material, and case complexity. A written plan with a 6-month fee estimate is provided following assessment. Additional diagnostics (e.g., radiographs, wax-ups/try-ins) may attract separate fees if required.
Veneers are fabricated from various ceramic materials, with selection based on individual clinical requirements. Material options include pressed lithium disilicate and layered feldspathic porcelain, each with different optical and strength properties.
Digital planning: 3D technology assists in treatment planning but does not guarantee specific outcomes. Individual tooth anatomy and healing vary.
Conservative approach: Digital guides aim to support minimal preparation where possible, though enamel removal is still required and is irreversible.
Suitability: Not all cases are suitable for this approach. Alternative treatments may be more appropriate depending on individual circumstances.
Workers on rotational rosters may find condensed treatment scheduling aligns with their time in Brisbane. Treatment can potentially be staged to accommodate roster patterns, with preparation and placement scheduled around work rotations.
Patients traveling from other cities may be able to coordinate treatment with planned Brisbane visits. Extended appointments may reduce the number of trips required.
Those with restricted schedules due to professional or personal commitments may benefit from consolidated appointment scheduling where clinically feasible.
In this appointment we examine your teeth and gums, talk through what you’d like to change, and assess whether veneers are clinically suitable. We’ll outline benefits, limitations, risks, alternatives (e.g., whitening, bonding, orthodontics), likely costs and maintenance so you can make an informed decision.
⚠️ Lifespan and pricing vary based on individual factors, including bite pressure, oral health, and design preferences. Final quote available after consultation.
In Brisbane, the price for dental veneers ranges significantly by type and complexity, with porcelain veneers costing roughly $1,100 to $3,000 per tooth and composite veneers starting from around $500 to $700 per tooth. Final costs depend on the number of veneers needed, the specific materials used, the expertise of the dentist, and the overall complexity of the individual case.
Porcelain Veneers:
Price range: $1,100 – $3,000 per tooth.
Characteristics: More expensive, but offer a natural appearance, are resistant to staining, and are longer-lasting (10-20 years).
Composite Veneers:
Price range: $500 – $700 per tooth.
Characteristics: More affordable, but less durable than porcelain and can be prone to staining.
We have four dental clinics across Brisbane where veneer consultations are available. Our registered dentists provide clinical assessments for porcelain and composite veneers. We explain suitability, benefits, limitations, risks, alternatives, and likely costs so you can decide in your own time (no treatment on the day).
Veneer treatment at our Brisbane practices typically takes three to four weeks from start to finish. You’ll visit us two or three times during this period. Here’s what happens at each appointment and what you need to know about the process.
During your first appointment, we examine your teeth to check they’re healthy enough for veneers. We take impressions and photographs, then discuss how many teeth need treatment. If veneers are suitable, we plan your treatment and you approve the proposed changes before we proceed.
At your second visit, we prepare your teeth by removing about 0.5mm of enamel – roughly the thickness of the veneer that will replace it. We take precise impressions of your prepared teeth for our in-house laboratory. You’ll leave with temporary veneers to protect your teeth whilst your permanent ones are being made.
Our in-house laboratory creates your veneers over 2-3 weeks. Technicians build each veneer in layers to match your natural tooth colour and translucency. Having our own laboratory allows us to maintain quality control throughout the fabrication process.
We remove your temporaries and test-fit the new veneers. After checking the fit and colour, we permanently bond them to your teeth. We make final adjustments to your bite and polish the veneers. You’ll return for a follow-up to ensure everything feels comfortable.
During the appointment, we will examine your oral health, listen to your objectives, and explain the possibilities and limitations of veneer treatment. This is a no-obligation appointment focused purely on information.
A dental veneer is a custom, lab-made covering shell placed over a tooth to change the original tooth’s size, shape, and colour. Generally only applied to the teeth you show when you smile, veneers may address the following dental concerns:
Porcelain veneers provide a high-shine but natural tooth finish with a realistic depth of colour.
The dental veneer process involves removing a thin layer of tooth enamel to create space and contact surface area for your new veneer. Using a cutting-edge intra-oral scanning device and highly-specialised technology, your dentist will work with you to digitally design the perfect size, shape, look, and colour of your teeth. Depending on your requirements, your dentist may produce a ‘wax up’ (mock version) of your veneers for you to try in, or your digitally designed veneers may be sent directly to our specialised lab for creation.
Dental veneers are not just cosmetic enhancements; they also offer protective qualities for your teeth. When teeth are chipped, cracked, or have minor decay, veneers can act as a shield, covering the damaged area and preventing further wear and tear. By covering the front surface of the tooth, they add an extra layer of strength, which can be particularly beneficial for teeth that have become fragile. This protective layer helps in resisting future decay and damage. Furthermore, veneers can help in maintaining the structural integrity of a damaged tooth, reducing the likelihood of more invasive dental procedures in the future. Their ability to protect and strengthen while improving aesthetics makes them a valuable option in restorative dentistry.
These instructions are provided by our registered Brisbane dentists to help you care for your new dental veneers. Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity of your veneers and the health of your underlying teeth and gums. Please read the following information carefully.
Anaesthesia. If local anaesthetic was used, avoid consuming hot food and drinks until the numbness has completely worn off. This is to prevent accidental burns or biting of your lip, cheek, or tongue.
Sensitivity. It is common to experience some sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli for a few days following the procedure. This sensation should gradually subside. You may use a desensitising toothpaste if you experience discomfort.
Gum Tissue. Your gums may be slightly tender or inflamed around the treated teeth. Rinsing with warm salt water (1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water) two to three times a day can help soothe the tissue.
Bite Adjustment. Your bite may feel different initially as you adapt to the new shape of your teeth. It can take several days to adjust. If your bite continues to feel uneven or uncomfortable after one week, please contact our clinic for an adjustment.
Oral Hygiene. Maintain meticulous oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Abrasive or whitening toothpastes can scratch the surface of your veneers.
Flossing. Floss daily, ensuring you clean thoroughly between the teeth and along the gumline. When flossing, be careful not to pull upwards on the floss with excessive force at the edge of the veneer. It is often best to pull the floss through from the side.
Dietary Habits. Avoid using your veneers to bite directly into very hard or tough foods such as ice, hard nuts, crusty bread, or bone-in meats. Cut up hard foods like apples and carrots before eating them.
Parafunctional Habits. Do not use your teeth as tools (e.g., to open packages, cut tape, or hold objects). If you clench or grind your teeth (bruxism), it is critical to wear the protective night guard (occlusal splint) provided by your dentist to prevent chipping or debonding the veneers while you sleep.
Regular Dental Visits. Attend your scheduled professional check-ups and hygiene appointments. Regular examinations are essential to monitor the condition of your veneers, teeth, and gums.
While the general care is the same, the material of your veneers has specific properties to be aware of.
Porcelain Veneers
Composite Resin Veneers
Please contact any of our clinics in Brisbane immediately if you experience any of the following after your veneer treatment:
The veneer process typically requires 2-3 appointments over several weeks.
First appointment: We take impressions and photographs of your teeth. If veneers are suitable, we create a treatment plan using digital imaging to show proposed changes.
Second appointment: Tooth preparation and temporary veneer placement. Final impressions taken for veneer fabrication.
Final appointment (usually 2-3 weeks later): Permanent veneers are fitted and adjusted. Local anaesthetic is used during preparation and placement.
Treatment complexity varies. Some cases require additional appointments. Not all patients are suitable for veneers. Alternative treatments may be recommended.
Most patients elect for at least six veneers as part of their smile makeover, covering their upper front six teeth. Treatment like this can cost as little as $45 per week.
Not everyone needs veneers. In some cases, another option is simpler, more conservative, or a better clinical fit.
If your main concern is tooth colour rather than shape or position, whitening is often the simplest first step. It does not remove enamel and can be repeated over time. Fillings, crowns, and veneers will not lighten with whitening; if shade matching is important, these may need replacement after whitening to blend.
If you have small chips, minor gaps, or a tooth that needs a slight shape change, bonding can be a conservative option. We add tooth-coloured resin to refine edges or close small spaces in a single visit in many cases. It’s repairable, but it can stain and may wear faster than porcelain, so occasional maintenance is normal.
When tooth position or your bite is the main issue, moving the teeth is usually the right place to start. Aligners or braces can reduce or remove the need for veneers by correcting rotations, crowding, or spacing. Treatment takes longer than veneers, but it addresses the cause rather than masking it.
If your concern is tiny uneven edges or small length differences, careful re-shaping can tidy the line of your teeth without adding material. Changes are modest and immediate, and we keep removal to a minimum.
If you feel your smile looks “gummy” or the gum line is uneven, gently reshaping the gum can balance the frame around your teeth. This is sometimes combined with whitening or small areas of bonding and may remove the need for veneers in selected cases.
When a tooth is heavily filled, cracked, or structurally weak, a crown can be more protective than a veneer. It involves more tooth preparation but provides full coverage for strength and longevity where needed.
If the main issue is a missing tooth, replacement is more appropriate than veneers. An implant restores the gap without preparing the neighbouring teeth; a bridge can be considered when an implant isn’t suitable. We’ll explain pros, cons, and maintenance for each approach.
If you clench or grind, or your teeth show signs of wear, a night guard or bite management plan can protect both natural teeth and any future restorations. In some cases, we recommend this before cosmetic work so your results last.
Sometimes the best result comes from a simple sequence, for example, orthodontics first, then whitening, and small areas of bonding last. We’ll map out the order, maintenance, and likely costs so you can decide in your own time. No treatment is provided on the day of assessment.
During your appointment, a registered dentist examines your teeth and gums, confirms whether veneers are clinically suitable, and outlines alternatives (e.g., whitening, bonding, orthodontics), risks, maintenance, and likely costs. Submit the form and we’ll get in touch to book a convenient time.
It depends on your smile line and goals. Most people show 8-10 teeth when smiling naturally, with some showing up to 12. We’ll photograph your natural smile from multiple angles to map exactly which teeth are visible when you smile, speak, and laugh. This ensures we create a plan based on YOUR unique smile, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Porcelain veneers offer premium aesthetics with stronger, more durable material that resists chips, breaks, and stains better than composite. They typically last 15-20 years. Tooth preparation varies by case – minimal prep is possible for some, while crowded teeth or dramatic colour changes may require more. We can minimise preparation through teeth straightening or whitening first (increasing time and cost but reducing biological impact). Composite veneers are more conservative, more affordable, but typically last 5-8 years. We’ll explain which option best suits your specific situation, goals, and budget.
It depends on your health fund and level of cover. Veneers are typically considered cosmetic and may not be covered by most policies. However, if your policy includes restorative dental benefits, limited rebates may apply in certain circumstances. We’ll do a complimentary benefits check during your consultation to help you understand exactly what coverage you may have and maximise any available rebates.
Composite veneers usually take one appointment. Porcelain veneers typically need 2-3 appointments over 2-3 weeks. The first appointment involves assessment and planning. If proceeding with porcelain, the second appointment is for tooth preparation and temporaries. The final appointment is for veneer placement.
Local anaesthetic is used during tooth preparation and placement. Most patients report minimal discomfort. We can discuss anxiety management options if you’re concerned about the procedure.
Élevé veneer treatment is elective cosmetic dentistry using digital planning technology. Treatment suitability varies based on individual dental conditions, tooth structure, and bite relationships.
