Veneers in Bondi Junction

Cosmetic dentistry includes a range of treatments that change the appearance of teeth. One option for suitable patients is porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells designed to cover the front of a tooth. Porcelain is a durable material that has a similar colour and translucency to natural enamel.

Before placing veneers, a small amount of enamel is usually removed to create space, so the veneer can bond directly to the tooth. Veneers may be considered for:

• Worn teeth
• Discolouration that does not respond to whitening
• Uneven spacing or gaps
• Teeth of uneven length or minor misalignment

Important Considerations

Veneers generally need to be replaced over time, and suitability depends on individual oral health. Your dentist will assess whether veneers are appropriate for your needs and explain potential benefits, risks, and alternative treatments.

Consultation

If you are interested in learning more about porcelain veneers, we welcome you to contact our Bondi Junction dental clinic. At your consultation, your dentist will discuss treatment options and what outcomes you may be able to expect.

Much of veneer treatment involves careful planning. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss whether veneers are an appropriate option for you. Conditions such as gum disease, decay, or a misaligned bite may need to be addressed before considering veneers.

For patients seeking a brighter overall appearance, whitening can be completed before veneers are placed, so the restorations can be matched to the lighter shade.

The Veneer Process

If veneers are suitable, your dentist will:

• Take records and plan the size, shape, and shade of the veneers
• Work with a dental laboratory to create your custom restorations
• Provide temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth in the meantime

When the final veneers are ready, they will be bonded to your teeth and your bite will be checked for function and comfort.

If you have dental veneers, looking after them with good oral hygiene and regular professional care is important. Daily care is similar to looking after natural teeth:

• Brush and floss using proper technique
• Avoid biting into very hard items (such as ice or hard lollies)
• Maintain routine dental exams and professional cleanings

If you grind your teeth, a nightguard may be recommended to help protect both natural teeth and restorations
