DENTAL VENEERS CENTRAL COAST 

If you’re considering enhancing the look of your teeth, dental veneers on the Central Coast could be a suitable choice. Veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic facings that can be applied to the front of teeth to help improve their appearance. They’re designed to address concerns like irregular shapes, gaps or persistent discolouration. The process generally involves a few visits to the dentist, where your teeth are assessed and the veneers are crafted to fit comfortably and look natural. This approach aims to create a more cohesive smile while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

Do you have chipped, cracked or stained teeth? If the blemished appearance of your teeth prevents you from having the smile you want, Dental Veneers are designed to hide your dental flaws and enhance the beauty of your natural smile.

Advances in modern material science and clinical techniques have made possible the application of dental veneers. These ultra-thin laminate shells are used to conceal a wide range of dental imperfections, including: Stained, cracked, chipped, misaligned and widely spaced teeth.

While it is important to note that dental veneers do not restore the function or strength of the treated teeth, they make the ideal Cosmetic Dental Treatment for enhancing the appearance of otherwise healthy and functional teeth. If you have any underlying dental conditions, they may need to be addressed prior to the application of dental veneers.

What is the Procedure Like?

While a typical dental veneering treatment takes approximately two to three visits, please note that the number of visits depend on the number of veneers required as well as your specific dental needs.

The dentist would prepare the patient’s teeth by conservatively shaping the front of the patient’s teeth. This is done so that the prepared teeth can better accommodate the veneers and promotes better bonding. The dentist would then take an impression of the prepared teeth, in order to obtain precise measurements for the fabrication process. The impression would then be sent to our trusted laboratory in Sydney. In the meantime, your dentist will provide you with temporary veneers as you wait for the final product to return from the laboratory. This usually takes about 1-2 weeks.

The newly constructed veneers would then be placed over your teeth to check for size, shape and position. After final adjustments have been made and everything checks out, and you are happy with the aesthetics of your new smile, the veneers are then bonded to the teeth using dental cements.

The Benefits of Dental Veneers

Natural-looking aesthetics: This is the main reason that dental veneers enjoy such popularity as a much sought after cosmetic solution. The prosthetic can be colour matched to the exact shade of your existing natural teeth. Porcelain veneers can mimic the translucent properties of your natural tooth enamel. The result is a seamless restoration that is virtually impossible to tell apart from natural teeth.

Flexible applications: Since dental veneers can be precisely sculpted to conform to the exact size and shape of your teeth, they are exceptionally versatile as a cosmetic solution. The ultra-thin ceramic laminates seamlessly conceal the appearance of cracked, crooked, gappy or discoloured teeth. They can also transform teeth that look too stubby or narrow to appear more proportionate in size and shape.

Quality materials: We offer porcelain veneers that offer superior wear resistance and durability as compared to composite resin restorations. The porcelain veneers offer a tough exterior that can handle daily exposure to hard chewing and biting. They also boast a robust stain resistant surface that make it hard for stains to cling onto the smooth surface of the material, leaving your restored teeth free of ugly markings and discolouration over time.

No surgery required: Dental veneers are said to be one of the best-kept beauty secrets of celebrities. They promise a fast and painless way to make your smile dazzle without the need for complicated surgery, anaesthetics or injections. In short, dental veneers are as effortless as they are effective!

If you are not completely happy with your smile, dental veneers offer you a modern treatment option to obtain a natural and beautiful smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Dental veneers are thin, custom-made facings made from materials like porcelain that are placed over the front surface of teeth.

Contact us today to learn more about dental veneers on the Central Coast.

  • The process of getting dental veneers generally involves two to three visits. During the initial visit, the dentist evaluates the teeth, discusses aesthetic preferences, and determines if veneers are an appropriate option. In the preparation stage, a very minimal portion of enamel is conservatively removed from the teeth to create space for the veneers, and impressions are taken to guide the fabrication process at a dental laboratory. Temporary veneers may be used during this period. In the final appointment, the veneers are adhered to the teeth with dental cement after adjustments are made to refine their fit and appearance. 

  • Dental veneers are designed to closely match the colour and light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, creating a realistic appearance. Veneers are versatile and can address various aesthetic concerns, such as discolouration, minor misalignment, and chips. Porcelain veneers are crafted to resist staining, which can help maintain their appearance. Additionally, the procedure is considered less invasive than crowns, as it involves removing a smaller amount of natural tooth structure.

  • Caring for dental veneers involves maintaining consistent oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, to manage gum health and reduce the risk of decay around the veneers. Habits like biting on hard objects can lead to damage, so they should be avoided. Limiting the intake of substances known to cause stains, such as coffee, red wine, and tobacco, can help preserve their appearance. Regular dental visits can allow for professional cleaning and assessments to address any potential issues and maintain the condition of the veneers. 

  • There are several considerations to be aware of when it comes to dental veneers. The process involves removing a layer of enamel from the teeth, making it irreversible. Some individuals may experience sensitivity to hot or cold following the procedure. Although durable, veneers can chip or crack just like natural teeth if subjected to excessive pressure and may need to be replaced if damaged. They may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with extensive decay, gum disease, or insufficient enamel. Discussing dental health and cosmetic preferences with a dentist can help determine whether veneers align with individual needs.
