Veneers in Chelsea Heights, VIC

Dental veneers can potentially redesign your smile into one you're proud to share with others if you're living with minor smile imperfections like chipped, stained, or oddly shaped teeth.

Ceramic porcelain veneers cover tooth imperfections and can deliver an aesthetic, symmetrical, and camera-ready result for your smile. A tooth veneer is a micro-thin layer of porcelain that fits snugly over the front surface wth the purpose of enhancing a tooth's shape, size, and shade and eliminating flaws. 

Our dentists can use a veneer to repair one or two teeth or deliver a more dramatic smile improvement with porcelain veneers in Chelsea Heights.

Veneers Cover a Wide Range of Imperfections

Results vary by patient, but some of the tooth flaws dental veneers can eliminate are:

• Cracked or chipped teeth: A veneer covers a cracked or chipped tooth and protects it from further damage
• Oddly shaped teeth: Teeth with size or shape discrepancies can be symmetrical when covered by a veneer.
• Stains or discolouration: Veneers can cover teeth with stubborn stains that don't respond well to professional teeth whitening.
• Gaps or spaces between teeth: A dental veneer can cover and resize your teeth to eliminate gaps between teeth.
• Excessively worn teeth: Teeth that appear short and suffer from excessive wear can be rebuilt with porcelain veneers.
• Slight tooth misalignment: Veneers can cover slightly misaligned teeth, giving them a straighter appearance without braces or other orthodontic treatment.

The Dental Veneer Process

Getting dental veneers in Chelsea Heights typically requires two appointments once you decide to proceed with treatment.

During the first appointment, our dentists will prepare your teeth for their veneers by removing a tiny amount of enamel from your tooth, taking impressions, and fitting temporary veneers for you to wear.

We'll send your impressions and our dentist's specifications to a trusted local dental lab that will create your porcelain veneers over two to three weeks. When they're ready, you'll return to A Plus Dental to have our dentists place your final veneers.

Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers Is Simple

Taking care of your porcelain veneers is relatively easy because you brush and floss just like you did before. Avoid using whitening toothpaste that can be abrasive and could scratch or damage the surface of your veneers.

It's also a good idea to avoid biting directly into hard foods like crusty bread, carrots, or apples to prevent damaging your veneers or your natural teeth. Instead, cut foods into smaller bite-sized pieces before you enjoy them.
