We have been trusted by many of our clients for quality dental veneers Brisbane. If you have been planning to get a dental veneer, then it is a good idea to discuss this with your dentist first. It is important to understand how veneers work and if they will be an ideal solution for your dental problems. There are at least two types of veneers available, which your dentist may use - porcelain veneers and resin composite veneers.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are a cosmetic solution to cover a chipped tooth, or a gap between your teeth or a deformed tooth. It uses a thin sheet of porcelain or resin composite to hide irregularities. Your dentist is well placed to decide whether a veneer will be suitable for you or not. These veneers are custom made for every patient to suit the exact shape of the teeth. Additionally, the colour or shade of your teeth is kept in mind so the veneers blend in with your natural teeth.
What is the cost of dental veneers Brisbane?
For dental veneers Brisbane has many dental providers, and fees vary from practice to practice depending on the material, the dental laboratory, the number of teeth and how much planning a case needs. At Kallangur Dental Surgery our veneer fees are:
Many people treat several front teeth at once so the colour and shape match across the smile, which is why a set of six is a common porcelain plan. Your dentist will confirm how many veneers you actually need, and whether another treatment such as whitening, bonding or orthodontics could do the job for less. You receive a written estimate before anything goes ahead, and payment plans may be available to spread the cost. Our porcelain veneers page explains the treatment in more detail.
Why would I need dental veneers?
Some of the reasons why a dentist may suggest dental veneers are:
What is the process of installing dental veneers?
Your dentist may talk about the two types of dental veneers available and the benefits of each. For porcelain veneers, your dentist will remove a bit of your tooth enamel to make room for the veneer. Then the dentist will make an impression of the prepared teeth and choose the right veneer shade. The impression or digital scan is used to make a customised porcelain veneer for your teeth in a dental laboratory. This takes some time, and the dentist will be able to confirm the date for the next sitting when the veneer will be installed. Once the veneer is placed on your teeth, the dentist may suggest another appointment to make adjustments if needed.
If resin composite veneers are being used, then the doctor will be able to complete installation in a single sitting. They do not need to take an impression of your teeth for resin composite veneers. Little or no tooth may need to be shaped first. Then the dentist will place the resin composite material on your teeth choosing a suitable shade for your teeth. This material is sculpted to give a natural look to the teeth. It is hardened using a special light so that your veneer becomes durable.
