Porcelain veneers offer a swift and efficient method to greatly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile.
They are also referred to as ‘dental veneers’.
Porcelain veneers are thin tooth-coloured porcelain shells that are custom made to bond to the front surface of your teeth.
They are excellent for treating misaligned teeth with stains, chips, and gaps, especially in front teeth.
Porcelain veneers are ideal for improving shape, length, size and tooth colour.
The experienced team of dentists at Art De Dente has successfully fitted several porcelain veneers on patrons that have resulted in an even smile that looks perfectly natural.
These veneers can also be used as instant orthodontics to straighten your teeth and remake your smile.

Before & After
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made using a strong ceramic material, built to last for decades. The thin shells are custom-built to fit over the front of your teeth.
When fitted correctly, veneers can hide dental imperfections in your teeth.
Fixing Porcelain Veneers
Your dentist begins the process with an impression of your teeth. Based on this impression, a new veneer is custom designed and built to perfectly fit your tooth.
Your Melbourne CBD dentist then fixes the veneer to the affected tooth using a strong cement.
The colour of the newly attached veneer is made to match the adjacent teeth. This makes the veneer blend in like a natural tooth.
Porcelain Veneers Maintenance
Maintaining the durability of your porcelain veneers requires adhering to proper oral hygiene practices. This involves brushing your teeth a minimum of twice daily with gentle toothpaste and daily flossing to eliminate plaque and food debris.
Regular dental examinations and cleanings are crucial for overseeing the condition of your veneers and promptly addressing any potential concerns.
Porcelain Veneers Cost Consideration
While porcelain veneers offer significant benefits in aesthetics and durability, it’s essential to consider the associated costs.
Your Melbourne CBD dentist can provide a detailed breakdown of the expenses involved in the porcelain veneer procedure, including the cost of materials, labour, and additional treatments or follow-up care.
Depending on your individual needs and financial situation, your dentist can also offer flexible payment options or assistance with insurance coverage to help make porcelain veneers more affordable for you.
