How long do veneers last for?

The lifespan of dental veneers depends on whether you have porcelain or composite veneers, and how well you care for them. Porcelain laminate veneers can last from 10 to 12 years. Composite resin veneers need to be replaced sooner, since they last for around 4 to 8 years.

Do veneers damage your teeth?

The short answer is no. Nothing will happen to your teeth as long as you take care of your veneers – which is easy to do. Having said this, decay can still occur if veneers aren't installed properly, or you neglect your dental hygiene.

Do veneers are permanent?

Veneers are indeed a permanent procedure, as they are attached to your teeth after a part of your enamel is removed. However, the life span of the veneers themselves is around 15 years, after which you will need to get them replaced.

Smile Confidently with Veneers from EDentist in Dandenong

Veneers in Dandenong are for people from all walks of life who want to achieve beautiful, confident smiles. Many people with discoloured, chipped, or misshapen teeth put off treatment because it does not cause them any physical pain. However, cosmetic dentistry is not just about vanity; a healthy-looking smile promotes confidence and a strong self-image.

At EDentist Dandenong, we are passionate about helping people achieve the smile of their dreams. With high-quality veneers, you can say goodbye to imperfections and hello to a beautiful, healthy smile.

What Are Dental Veneers?

A veneer is a thin shell that fits over a misshapen, damaged, or undersized tooth to conceal imperfections and protect your smile. Dentists can match the veneers to your tooth colour to create a seamless, natural look that fits comfortably in your mouth while offering impressive durability. At EDentist, we offer three types of veneers: porcelain, composite, and lumineers.

Each veneer type has unique benefits, so schedule a consultation to see which is best for your smile objectives. With the right care and cleaning techniques, veneers can last ten to 30 years, giving you a long-lasting smile.

What Is the Dental Veneer Process?

The first step of the dental veneer process is the initial consultation, so we can get to know your smile objectives and unique oral health needs. During the consultation, you and your dentist will discuss specific issues you want to address, which type of veneer is best for your situation, and other options to consider. After establishing a plan, your dentist at EDentist will show you how to prepare for veneer placement.

We use a special bonding agent to adhere the veneers to your teeth. Using this special bonding technique, we can give your teeth a secure, protective covering that will last for years to come.

Benefits of Getting Porcelain Dental Veneers

While composite resin veneers cost less and require less work, they may not be your best option. At EDentist, we know that everyone’s smile is unique. That’s why we work hard to help each patient achieve their smile objectives through customised, high-end treatments.

Porcelain veneers in Dandenong are among the most popular cosmetic dental treatments for several reasons.

They Are Durable

Porcelain is highly durable. By using it for dental veneers, you can continue enjoying your favourite foods without worrying about damaging your cosmetic dental treatment.

They Look Natural

The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the look of your smile while maintaining its natural appearance. Porcelain is tooth-coloured and offers impressive strength, allowing you to enjoy a seamless, naturally-looking cosmetic treatment.

They Don't Require Special Care

Unlike other dental treatments, dental veneers do not require any special treatment. You can continue brushing and flossing as you normally would.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Teeth Require Preparation for Dental Veneers?

Before placing your dental veneers, your dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small layer of enamel to make room for the veneer shell. Generally, they only need to shave away around half a millimetre. However, the teeth preparation required can vary depending on your oral health and the reason for getting veneers.

Does Getting Dental Veneers Hurt?

Getting dental veneers is a painless and relatively quick process. Although some people experience minor sensitivity following treatment, it does not last more than 48 hours.

What Are the Alternatives to Dental Veneers?

At EDentist, we offer multiple cosmetic dental treatments to meet the needs of every patient. Popular alternatives to veneers include dental crowns and bonding. Ask your dentist which option for veneers in Dandenong is best for you!
