Porcelain veneers Miranda

Porcelain veneers are an ultra-thin, durable shell of porcelain that is attached to your tooth to improve its appearance. Dr Michael has extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry and works with specialist dental technicians in Sydney to create natural veneers, to transform your smile.

When you book porcelain veneers in Miranda, at Shire Smiles, your treatment is completed over a few appointments. Enjoy the peace of mind you have an experienced porcelain veneers dentist. First, Dr Michael will carefully prepare your tooth surface to ensure the veneers can be attached. This involves removing some of the natural enamel. For some people, the thought of removing part of the tooth makes them nervous. Rest assured that we only remove a minimal amount of your natural tooth enamel. Our caring team will keep you feeling at ease during your treatment. You can even relax and watch your favourite show on Netflix, or if you choose to, have your treatment under IV sedation to be completely relaxed and comfortable.

Next, your temporary veneers are fitted while your permanent veneers are being hand-crafted by specialist ceramic technicians.

At your final appointment, your permanent porcelain veneers will be attached to your natural teeth. The smile you have been waiting for will be ready for you, so you can enjoy your life and eat, drink and laugh – without hesitations about your teeth’s appearance holding you back.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last a very long time – from 15 to 20 years or even longer. Just like you do with your normal teeth, you need to brush and floss your teeth with veneers daily, and keep up with your regular check-up and clean visits to your dentist.

At Shire Smiles, we use high-quality materials for your porcelain veneers, so you can enjoy your beautiful, natural-looking teeth and eat normally, without worrying about damaging or chipping your veneers.

As with your natural teeth though, you do need to take care biting into hard foods such as olive pits or nuts to avoid damaging veneers.

Tooth veneers can be made of different materials, by machines or by hand. The big question for many people is ‘composite veneers vs porcelain veneers – which is better?’. At Shire Smiles, we only use veneers hand-made of high-quality porcelain material to give a natural and beautiful smile. They are hand-crafted by local dental technicians, so you can rest assured you will have durable veneers that are tailor-made for you.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile and want to change the colour, size or shape of your teeth, porcelain veneers can be a good option.

Porcelain veneers can help transform your smile if your teeth are permanently discoloured, chipped, or have an unusual shape.

For some patients with crooked teeth or some gaps, veneers can be an option. However, you may wish to consider other options to straighten your smile first, such as Invisalign.

Dr Michael will be able to examine your teeth at your first consultation and tell you which options are best for your teeth. With our state-of-the-art scanner, you can even get a preview on the spot of what your new smile will look like.

The cost of porcelain veneers varies depending on the type of material used. At Shire Smiles, we use premium, hand-crafted quality porcelain veneers to give you a beautiful, natural-looking, and long-lasting result.

The investment per tooth starts from $1,350 depending on how many teeth require veneers. If multiple teeth are being treated at once, the cost per tooth veneer will be lower.

Porcelain veneers are an investment to keep you smiling for years to come, and to help get you smiling now, you can choose to pay over time with one of our easy payment options.

You’re probably wondering if we need to shave your teeth down a lot to place veneers on them. The good news is, most people only need a minimal amount of reduction of their teeth. In some cases, veneers require no preparation at all. Reducing teeth down significantly is sometimes necessary when your teeth are crowded or in poor alignment. To preserve longevity of your teeth, health of the nerves and roots of your teeth and to achieve a beautiful aesthetic result, your dentist may recommend Invisalign or orthodontic treatment prior to having veneers.

The great thing about porcelain veneers is that they look just like natural tooth enamel, but are much more resistant to stains. This means you can eat and drink almost anything without staining your veneers. Your smile will stay bright for many years to come, with proper care of your teeth.

You will need to brush and floss your veneers daily as you would for natural teeth, and keep up with your regular twice-yearly check-up and cleans.
