The right choice
for your teeth.
Porcelain or composite. Discuss the differences with your dentist.
Is it right for me?
Veneers may be considered for chips, wear, changes in tooth shape, small gaps or discolouration that whitening does not address.
Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite before discussing treatment.
Bonding, whitening, orthodontics or a crown may be more appropriate for your teeth. Doing nothing is also an option to discuss.
Compare porcelain and composite
| Porcelain | Composite | |
|---|---|---|
| Making | A ceramic shell is made to fit the tooth and then bonded in place. | Tooth-coloured resin is shaped on the tooth, hardened and polished. |
| Visits | Planning, preparation and fitting are discussed as part of your individual schedule. | Planning and treatment appointments depend on the number of teeth and the proposed changes. |
| Preparation | Some tooth preparation may be needed; your dentist explains the amount individually. | Preparation varies with the tooth and design; do not assume that no enamel will be removed. |
| Repair | A small chip may be repairable; some damage requires a replacement. | A damaged area can sometimes be repaired with more composite. |
| Care | Brush with fluoride toothpaste and clean between the teeth every day. | Keep up daily cleaning and the reviews recommended by your dentist. |

Deciding
What is included in the consultation?
Your veneer consultation includes a 3D intraoral scan, a discussion with the dentist and a 2D smile simulation. The simulation is a discussion aid, not a prediction of your result.
How is a veneer different from a crown?
A veneer covers the front of a tooth. A crown covers more of the tooth. The condition of the tooth and your bite help your dentist decide which options to discuss.
What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ceramic shells made for the teeth. Composite veneers use tooth-coloured resin shaped on the teeth. Your dentist explains how the materials, preparation and repair options relate to your plan.
Can I consider veneers if I grind my teeth?
Grinding can place extra load on teeth and restorations. Your dentist assesses your bite and any wear before discussing suitability, alternatives and whether a night guard would be appropriate.
Treatment
Can I try the design in my mouth?
A temporary trial allows you to discuss the design in your mouth and ask about changes. It is a planning step, not a guarantee of your final result.
Is the treatment reversible?
The temporary mock-up is reversible. Final tooth preparation may be irreversible. Your dentist will explain the proposed preparation and alternatives for your situation.
How many appointments will I need?
The process usually involves 3–4 appointments, depending on your individual treatment plan. More complex treatment can take longer. Your dentist will discuss the timing with you.
What should I expect during treatment?
Your dentist explains the planned steps and whether local anaesthetic is needed. Local anaesthetic numbs the treatment area. Tell your dentist about discomfort so they can assess it and discuss how to manage it.
Afterwards
How can I ask about treatment costs?
A written quote is available on request. Your dentist explains the proposed treatment, what it includes, risks and alternatives before you decide. The consultation includes a 3D intraoral scan and a 2D smile simulation.
What are the planning payment and refund terms?
If a separate planning stage requires a deposit, we explain the amount and terms before you agree. If you change your mind and do not proceed after that stage, we retain the deposit. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are unaffected.
Can veneers be whitened?
Whitening does not change the colour of porcelain or composite restorations. Discuss whitening plans with your dentist before choosing the shade of new veneers.
What if a veneer chips or becomes loose?
Contact the practice for an assessment. A small chip may be repairable, while other damage may need a replacement. The options depend on the veneer and the tooth underneath.
