How Veneers Transform Your Smile
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material that cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting imperfections and creating a flawless appearance. They require minimal tooth preparation while delivering dramatic, natural-looking results that can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care.
Digital Smile Design
Using state-of-the-art iTero scanning and digital smile design software, we create a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique facial features and aesthetic goals. You'll see a digital preview of your new smile before we begin, allowing you to provide input and feel confident about your decision. This transparency ensures we achieve the exact look you envision.
Temporary Veneers
Experience your new smile with temporary veneers while our master ceramists craft your permanent restorations. This preview period lets you test-drive the look and feel, make any adjustments, and ensure you're completely satisfied before we bond the final veneers.
Permanent Veneers
Your custom-crafted permanent veneers are precision-bonded using the latest techniques for optimal fit, function, and natural aesthetics. We carefully match the colour, shape, and translucency to your natural teeth, creating results that look like they've always been part of your smile.
When It's Time to Choose Veneers
You've Tried Whitening Without Success
If your teeth are deeply stained from tetracycline, fluorosis, or genetics and don't respond to professional whitening, veneers provide a permanent solution for a bright, white smile.
You're Tired of Hiding Your Smile
If you cover your mouth when you laugh, avoid photos, or feel self-conscious in social situations because of your teeth, veneers can give you the confidence to smile freely again.
You Want a Complete Smile Makeover
For patients who want comprehensive improvements—addressing colour, shape, alignment, and proportion all at once—veneers offer an efficient way to achieve dramatic transformation in a short time.
Your Teeth Show Signs of Wear
If grinding, acid erosion, or age has worn down your teeth, making them look shorter or more translucent, veneers can restore proper length and shape while protecting against further damage.
You Have a Special Event Coming
Weddings, reunions, job interviews, or other important events sometimes motivate people to finally address long-standing smile concerns. Veneers can be completed in time for your special occasion.
You're Ready to Invest in Yourself
Veneers represent an investment in your confidence, appearance, and quality of life. If you're at a point where you're ready to prioritise your smile and commit to the process, it's time to explore veneers.
The Ideal Candidate for Veneers
You Have Healthy Teeth and Gums
Veneers work best on teeth that are structurally sound with adequate enamel. You should be free of active decay or gum disease before treatment, though we can address these issues first if needed.
You Want to Correct Cosmetic Concerns
Ideal candidates are bothered by staining, chips, gaps, minor misalignment, or other aesthetic issues that affect their confidence. Veneers are a cosmetic solution for patients who want a more attractive smile.
You're Committed to Good Oral Hygiene
While veneers themselves don't decay, the underlying teeth still need protection. Good brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits help ensure your veneers—and the teeth beneath them—stay healthy for years.
You Don't Have Severe Bruxism
Patients who grind their teeth heavily may damage veneers over time. If you have bruxism, we can provide a night guard to protect your investment, or we may recommend alternative treatments that better withstand grinding forces.
You Have Realistic Expectations
Veneers create beautiful, natural-looking results, but they won't look artificial or overly perfect. The best candidates understand that the goal is an enhanced version of your natural smile—one that suits your face and personality.

Types of Veneers We Offer
Porcelain Veneers
Traditional porcelain veneers offer exceptional durability, stain resistance, and natural appearance. They require minimal tooth preparation and can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care.
Composite Veneers
Composite resin veneers can be completed in a single visit and cost less than porcelain. They're a good option for minor corrections or for patients who want a more affordable solution, though they may not last as long as porcelain.
No-Prep Veneers
Some cases allow for ultra-thin veneers that require little to no tooth preparation. This reversible option preserves maximum tooth structure but is only suitable for certain patients based on tooth position and desired results.
Our Approach to Veneers
We Design Smiles That Last
Our cosmetic approach focuses on both aesthetics and protecting your teeth from future wear. We design veneers that enhance teeth functionally, not just cosmetically, supporting your long-term oral health. Understanding how teeth relate to one another is essential for creating results that last.
We Show You Before We Start
Using iTero scanning and digital smile design, we create a preview of your new smile before treatment begins. You'll see exactly how the veneers will look, allowing you to request adjustments and feel confident in your decision. This collaborative process ensures we're aligned on your goals.
We Listen to Your Vision
We want to educate you and guide you into making the right decision—one that considers aesthetics, function, and your overall quality of life. During your consultation, we listen to what you want to achieve and explain how veneers can help you get there.
We Use Quality Materials
We work with skilled ceramists who create custom veneers using high-quality porcelain that mimics natural tooth enamel. The result is restorations that look beautiful, feel comfortable, and stand the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my veneers?
Care for veneers just like natural teeth: brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and visit us for regular checkups and cleanings. Avoid using your teeth as tools, chewing on hard objects, or biting your nails. If you grind your teeth, wear a night guard to protect your investment.
Can veneers fix severely damaged teeth?
Veneers work best on structurally sound teeth with cosmetic imperfections. For teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, or heavily filled, crowns may be a better option. During your consultation, we'll assess your teeth and recommend the most appropriate treatment for lasting results.
Am I a good candidate for veneers?
Ideal candidates have healthy teeth and gums with adequate enamel, want to correct cosmetic concerns, and are committed to good oral hygiene. You should be free of active decay or severe gum disease. If you grind your teeth heavily, we can provide a night guard to protect veneers. Schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your specific situation and determine if veneers are right for you.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant and won't discolour from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking the way natural teeth do. Composite veneers may pick up some staining over time. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits helps preserve the brightness of all types of veneers.
How much do veneers cost?
Veneer costs vary based on the material (porcelain vs. composite) and the number of teeth being treated. A single veneer typically costs between $1,000-$2,500. During your complimentary consultation, we'll provide transparent pricing based on your specific treatment plan. We offer flexible financing options to make your dream smile accessible.
Can I eat normally with veneers?
Yes, you can enjoy most foods once your veneers are bonded. We recommend avoiding excessive force on veneers—such as biting hard candy, ice, or bones—just as you would with natural teeth. Veneers are durable, but they can chip or crack under extreme pressure.
Is the procedure painful?
We ensure your comfort with local anaesthesia during tooth preparation. We also offer inhaled sedation for anxious patients. Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. After the anaesthesia wears off, you may experience slight sensitivity for a few days, which typically resolves quickly.
How many appointments are needed?
Most veneer treatments require 2-3 appointments over a few weeks: initial consultation with digital planning, tooth preparation and temporary veneer placement, and final veneer bonding. Some no-prep or composite veneers can be completed in fewer visits. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Will veneers look natural?
Absolutely. Our custom-designed veneers are crafted to match your natural teeth in colour, translucency, shape, and texture for seamless integration with your smile. Using digital smile design, we ensure the size and proportions suit your facial features. The goal is a smile that looks like an enhanced version of your own—never artificial or overly perfect.
Are veneers permanent?
Traditional veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of enamel (usually less than a millimetre) is removed to make room for the veneer. Once this preparation is done, you'll always need some type of restoration on that tooth. No-prep veneers offer a reversible option for suitable candidates.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer. Composite veneers typically last 5-7 years. Regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like chewing ice or using teeth as tools help ensure their longevity.
What's the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of teeth with minimal tooth preparation, ideal for cosmetic improvements to otherwise healthy teeth. Crowns cover the entire tooth and require more tooth reduction, used when teeth are damaged, heavily filled, or weakened. We'll recommend the best option based on your tooth structure and goals.
