What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are a modern technique that can be used to change the shape, alignment and/or colour of teeth towards the front of the mouth. They’re essentially a thin shell of either porcelain or composite material that is bonded to the front of the tooth to improve its appearance. The procedure to place veneers causes minimal discomfort and patients are commonly surprised how painless it is.
What Is The Procedure For Getting Veneers?
The veneer procedure typically involves three main stages: diagnosis and treatment planning, preparation, and bonding.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
A consultation between yourself and the dentist is needed first. This is where aesthetic goals are discussed, and a clinical examination of the teeth is conducted. This examination includes an oral health assessment, x-rays or impressions, and a customised treatment plan to address specific changes in your tooth shape, colour, and alignment.
Preparation
Following the initial consultation, is the preparation phase. During this stage, a small amount of your tooth(usually less than a millimeter) is carefully removed from the front surface h to create space for the veneers. We then take impressions or moulds of the prepared teeth to serve as the foundation for crafting custom veneers in our dental laboratory. Our dentist then places the temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them and provide a visual preview of the final results while the permanent veneers are being made.
Bonding
The final stage is the bonding process. This involves the evaluation of the fit, colour, and overall aesthetics of the custom veneers before they are permanently attached to your teeth. Your tooth surface is then etched to create a slightly rough texture to better allow for a strong bond between the tooth and the veneer. Our dentist applies dental cement to the back of the veneer and then carefully places it onto the prepared tooth. A special light is used to activate the cement to ensure a secure bond. After curing, we trim off any excess material, and make the necessary adjustments to achieve an optimal bite and appearance.
Dental Veneers Cost Brisbane
The pricing of dental veneers can vary based on several factors, such as the complexity of the desired result and the type of veneer selected. Generally, veneers are applied to 6-8 teeth, but the overall cost may rise if the lower teeth are also treated. At Kedron Family Dental, Composite veneers start from $500 per tooth, while porcelain veneers start from $1,600 per tooth. A set of 10 veneers to enhance your smile costs around $5,000.

Who Can Get Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are an increasingly popular cosmetic dentistry option for patients seeking to enhance their smile’s aesthetic.
Common candidates for veneers include those with the following dental issues:
- Stained or discoloured teeth that do not respond well to teeth whitening procedures
- Chipped, worn-down, or unevenly shaped teeth
- Minor misalignments or gaps between teeth (a less invasive alternative to orthodontic treatment).
You would need a consultation with our dentist to determine your suitability for veneers. Here, oral health, expectations, and desired outcomes are assessed to ensure that veneers align with your unique needs and goals.
Types Of Dental Veneers We Offer
The two primary types of dental veneers are porcelain veneers and composite veneers, each with their own set of advantages.
Porcelain Veneers
Material:Â Made from thin shells of porcelain and closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth.
Appearance:Â These are known for their translucency and ability to reflect light similarly to natural teeth.
Durability: These are highly durable and resistant to staining.
Colour Stability: These maintain their colour over time, ensuring a consistently bright and natural-looking smile.
Customisation:Â These are custom-made for each patient and are tailored to match your desired shape and colour.
Composite Veneers
Material:Â These are made from a tooth-coloured composite resin material.
Application:Â They can often be applied in a single dental visit, as the material is shaped directly onto your teeth.
Cost: They’re generally more budget-friendly than porcelain veneers.
Repairability:Â These are more susceptible to chipping or staining compared to porcelain. However, any damage can be easily repaired.
Versatility:Â They offer versatility in terms of colour adjustments and alterations. This provides flexibility in achieving desired aesthetics.
The decision between choosing porcelain and composite veneers depends on various factors, including your budget, aesthetic goals, and the recommendations of your dentist. While porcelain veneers are often preferred for their durability and natural appearance, composite veneers may be better suited if you are seeking a more cost-effective and quicker solution.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
The longevity of veneers depends on various factors, including:
- Â the material used
- oral hygiene practices
- your own individual habits.
On average, our porcelain veneers can last up to 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care.
Porcelain is a popular material thanks to its durability and resistance to stains. However, you will still need to attend regular dental check-ups, practice diligent oral hygiene routines, and avoid habits like teeth grinding or biting on hard objects to help preserve your veneers.
Composite resin veneers may have a shorter lifespan, typically lasting from 5 to 7 years, but they are generally more easily repairable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are more durable, stain-resistant, and better mimic teeth’ natural shine, while composite veneers are a more affordable solution that can be applied in a single visit.
Kedron Family Dental offers both porcelain and composite veneers in Brisbane. We help you choose the suitable option based on your needs and budget.
Are dental veneers painful to get?
The veneer procedure is generally painless, as only a minimal amount of enamel is removed. Local anesthesia may be used for added comfort during preparation.
Kedron Family Dental ensures a comfortable and pain-free experience when fitting your dental veneers in Brisbane.
Can I get veneers if I have crooked teeth?
Veneers help to improve the appearance of mildly crooked or misaligned teeth. However, for more severe misalignment, orthodontic treatment like Invisalign may be a better option.
Kedron Family Dental checks your smile and recommends the most suitable treatment for achieving the best results.
Do veneers need special care?
Veneers don’t need special maintenance beyond regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. To prevent damage, avoid biting on hard foods and habits like nail-biting.
We provide expert guidance on maintaining your veneers to keep your smile looking its best.
Can dental veneers fix gaps between teeth?
Yes, veneers can close small gaps between teeth by reshaping their appearance. In certain cases, they offer a quicker and more aesthetic alternative to orthodontic treatments.
At Kedron Family Dental, we design custom veneers to enhance your smile while ensuring a natural and seamless look.
Can I whiten my dental veneers?
No, veneers do not respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments. If your natural teeth become stained, a whitening treatment may be needed before getting veneers for a uniform shade.
We take care that your veneers match the brightness of your teeth for a consistently radiant smile.
