What Are Dental Veneers?
These are thin, custom-made overlays made from tooth-coloured ceramic or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They improve your smile by addressing imperfections like chipped edges, cracks, gaps between teeth, and discoloration from stains or composite fillings. These overlays are made from quality materials and resist staining over time, which allows them to last a long time with the right care.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Here are some of the benefits of getting porcelain veneers in the Sunshine Coast:
- They’re highly durable, making them resistant to chipping and cracking.
- They improve the appearance of your smile, giving you a boost of confidence.
- They’re resistant to staining, so you don’t have to avoid coffee, tea, or red wine.
- They can last as long as 10 to 20 years with the right care.

Should I Get Composite or Porcelain Veneers?
Though both options give you a fantastic smile and natural look, there are differences between composite and porcelain veneers. If you’re wondering which type of veneers to get, you should consider their durability, longevity, and appearance.
Porcelain Veneers
These are highly durable and can last up to 20 years. Their durability makes them highly resistant to chipping and cracking. They also give you a natural looking smile that doesn’t stain as easily as your natural teeth. However, if they do chip or stain, they can’t be repaired and need to be replaced.
They also differ in terms of application because porcelain veneers take about 2 weeks to prepare, so you’ll have to wear temporary veneers in the meantime.
Composite Veneers
Made from tooth-coloured composite resin, these veneers are comparatively more cost-effective, but they last about 4 to 8 years. Compared to porcelain veneers, they’re easier to maintain as chips and cracks can be repaired in a single visit to our cosmetic dentistry clinic in Sunshine Coast. You also won’t need to wait for your veneers to arrive. Rather, the entire process is done in a single appointment.
What To Expect When You Get Porcelain Veneers in the Sunshine Coast
Initial Consultation
The first step of any cosmetic dentistry treatment at our clinic is a complimentary initial consultation. This is where you speak to your cosmetic dentist to know if you’re a good fit for dental veneers. They’ll also take scans, impressions, and x-rays of your teeth, along with a thorough assessment.
Teeth Preparation
Whether you get composite or porcelain veneers, your teeth need to be cleaned, polished, and prepared. The rest of the treatment process will vary depending on whether you choose composite or porcelain veneers. If you choose composite veneers, the process is complete in as little as a day. But if you choose porcelain veneers, your scans and impressions are sent to the lab, where a ceramist will work on your veneers.
Customisation
In your next appointment, you’ll work with your cosmetic dentist and ceramist to customise your veneers. You can make them lighter and adjust their shape to align with your smile goals.
Temporary Veneers
You’ll wear temporaray veneers while your final veneers are being prepared. This gives you a chance to see how they look and feel in your mouth. You can also give feedback on the shape and colour of your veneers.
Permanent Veneers
When your final veneers are ready, your temporary veneers are removed. Tooth reduction is performed to ensure that the veneers adhere to the teeth. Your cosmetic dentist will cement each veneer to its specific tooth using a special adhesive and cure it. This process takes about one hour for each tooth and is completed in one to two visits to your dentist.

FAQs
How long do veneers last?
With the right care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last as long as 20 years, though the average time is about 10 to 12 years. Composite veneers need replacing sooner, as they last between 4 and 8 years. Regular dental checkups ensure that your porcelain veneers retain their appearance and strength.
How are dental veneers different from crowns?
Your veneers only cover the front of your teeth, making them well-suited for addressing cosmetic issues like gaps, misalignment, chipped edges, and stains. Meanwhile, crowns cover the entire tooth and are often used on top of dental implants as a replacement for your natural tooth.
Can I remove stains from my veneers?
Whitening treatments, whether they’re in-office or at-home, aren’t suitable for veneers and only remove stains from natural teeth. Porcelain veneers don’t stain easily as long as you maintain proper dental hygiene. But if they get stained, you’ll need to visit our cosmetic dentist to replace them or get them treated to lift surface stains.
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers depends on whether you get composite or porcelain veneers, as well as other factors. For example, the extent of cleaning and preparation that’s needed before fitting your veneers. During your initial consultation, you’ll receive a customised treatment plan that includes estimated costs and available payment plan options.
