Composite Veneers Sydney and Canberra

Starting from $40 a week* with external interest-free plans

A Process of Direct Application

1. Complimentary Consultation

We start by discussing your aesthetic goals and assessing your dental health to confirm your suitability for composite veneers. This is a chance to ask questions and understand what the treatment may achieve for you.

2. Shade Selection and Planning

Together, we select a composite shade to match your natural teeth, working toward a consistent result. Your dentist will then outline the specific changes to be made to address your treatment goals.

3. Tooth Preparation

A gentle etching solution is applied to the tooth surface to prepare it for bonding. In most cases, this requires little to no removal of the natural tooth structure, making it a conservative procedure.

4. Direct Application and Sculpting

Your dentist skilfully applies the composite resin layer by layer, sculpting it directly on your tooth to create the desired shape and contour. Each layer is hardened using a special light.

5. Final Shaping and Polishing

Once the resin is hardened, your dentist will meticulously shape and polish the veneer to integrate with your surrounding teeth. This final step ensures a smooth, natural-looking lustre and a comfortable bite.

FAQs About Composite Veneers Sydney and Canberra

• How long do composite veneers last?

  With regular care and maintenance, composite veneers may last between 5 to 7 years. Their longevity depends on factors such as your oral hygiene habits, diet, and whether you clench or grind your teeth. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to help maintain their appearance and function over time.

  At Cosmetique Dental, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you get the most out of your treatment. While composite veneers are not as stain-resistant as porcelain, they can be repaired or polished if they chip or discolour, making them a practical choice for many patients in Sydney and Canberra.

• Are composite veneers a good alternative to porcelain veneers?

  Composite veneers are a suitable alternative for many patients, though the most appropriate choice depends on your individual goals, budget, and clinical needs. Composites are more affordable, require less tooth preparation, and can typically be completed in a single visit. This makes them well-suited for addressing smaller concerns or for those seeking a less permanent option.

  Porcelain veneers, while a larger investment, offer greater durability and stain resistance, often lasting 15 years or more. During your complimentary consultation at Cosmetique Dental, our dentists will discuss the benefits of each option and help you determine which treatment is most appropriate for your long-term dental needs.

• Can composite veneers be whitened?

  The composite resin material used for veneers does not respond to teeth whitening treatments in the same way as natural tooth enamel. Therefore, it is not possible to change their shade once they have been placed. For this reason, we recommend that you undertake any desired teeth whitening treatments before your composite veneer procedure.

  At Cosmetique Dental, we ensure the shade of your composite veneers is carefully selected to match your newly whitened teeth. This allows us to create a consistent and uniform tooth shade. If your veneers need refreshing in the future, they can be polished or replaced to restore their original appearance.
