WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dental proceduresbecause it fixes multiple cosmetic dental concerns at once.
A Porcelain Veneer is a thin porcelain shell that is permanently bonded to your natural tooth. Veneers are placed on the front surface of your tooth to enhance the cosmetic appearance of your smile. Veneers are strong and durable making them a popular aesthetic dental treatment for smile makeovers. Veneers can transform an average smile into a straight, white, beautiful smile.

THE PORCELAIN VENEER PROCESS
At Dental & Skin Clinic we have a streamlined process for our porcelain veneers. The entire process takes about 7 weeks with five distinct stages. These are the appointments to expect:
dentalandskin.com.au9
THE PORCELAIN VENEER PROCESS
1. COSMETIC CONSULTATION
During your smile consultation, you will meet with our dedicated cosmetic dentist. Our cosmetic dentist will go through a series of questions with you to best understand your smile goals and expectations and provide you with some guidance about your veneer options.
dentalandskin.com.au10
THE PORCELAIN VENEER PROCESS
This is called a Digital Smile Simulation, which allows you to preview what your new smile will potentially look like. Once you accept your new smile design and are ready to proceed with the veneers, we will move forward to the next stage, the Trial Smile.
dentalandskin.com.au11
The dentist will then proceed with gathering further information about your smile. This may include high- quality photos, videos, x-ray and bite analysis. By the end of the consultation, our cosmetic dentist will be able to show you your new smile digitally.

2. TRIAL SMILE APPOINTMENT
Next, you will enter your Trial Smile Stage. This stage is where you can test drive your new smile with a set of temporary veneers. This allows you to take note of anything you’d like changed, giving you the confidence that you are making the right choice. We design the temporary veneers based on your smile goals, photographs, videos, clinical analysis, bite analysis, facial features and the existing features of your own natural teeth. The design process is a well-thought- out process integrating a combination of artistry, science & engineering.
