Dental Veneers is a type of aesthetic dental treatment to improve the shade, shape, and sometimes position of the patient’s teeth to improve one’s smile. While it is considered an aesthetic treatment, it can often protect underlying teeth and is sometimes used to treat heavily worn down front teeth to restore the anatomical form and protect the underlying weakened structure.

Dental Veneers Parramatta can be made of 2 main types of dental materials: Composite Veneers and Porcelain Veneers.

At Parramatta Dentistry, we use 3M ESPE’s Filtek Supreme XTE, a highly regarded dental composite resin known for its excellent aesthetics and performance.

Composite resin veneers provide an attractive and minimally invasive option for enhancing smiles. Advances in nano-ceramic composite technology have improved wear resistance, strength, and polishability, making them increasingly comparable to traditional dental ceramics. While long-term clinical studies are limited, many dentists report successful results beyond 3–5 years.

4 main types of dental ceramics for the treatment of Dental Veneer:

• Feldspathic Ceramic (conventional porcelain),
• Lava Ultimate (resin-nano ceramic),
• Emax (best track record as veneer ceramic), and
• Zirconia (best for masking dark underlying tooth structure as very opaque, but bonding protocol complicated and is not easily adjusted in the mouth).

The dental ceramics are known to possess higher fracture resistance and wear resistance than conventional dental composite resin, but the lack of adjustability and reparability, with the exception of Lava Ultimate, can become a potential problem.

Dental ceramics are expected to last longer than 10 years of clinical lifespan, but a small percentage of cases may experience premature failure of bonding (veneer coming off), chipping and fractures, and occasional accelerated wear of opposing dentition due them being harder than normal human enamel.

Generally this is a decision made by the patient based on cost. Composite Veneer is more affordable and the procedure is faster; however, it does not last as long as Porcelain Veneers as the material is vulnerable to stain, and chipping.

Porcelain veneers are generally considered the preferred option if your budget allows or if you choose a payment plan. They are more durable and resistant to staining compared to composite veneers, which can be more prone to chipping over time.

Emax porcelain has been widely recognised as one of the top materials for dental veneers due to its strength and aesthetic results. The process often requires multiple appointments because the material needs careful firing and characterisation by a dental laboratory. At Parramatta Dentistry, we can prepare up to 2 Emax veneers in a single appointment; for larger cases, impressions are taken to ensure precision and the best outcome for your smile.

• Consultation
• Mock up
• Veneer prep appointment
• Separate cementation appointment, if getting porcelain.

Possibly, depending on individual cases, you can discuss this with your dentist during a consultation.

In some cases a minimal shaving maybe performed to allow veneers to have better contact with your teeth and minimise issues like veneers falling off.

They are fixed, however, maintenance and replacement will be needed in the future, in seven to twenty five years, depending how well you look after and maintain them.

Porcelain veneers do not ruin your teeth. In most cases, a small amount of tooth enamel may be reshaped to allow the veneer to fit properly. Once placed, veneers are bonded to your natural teeth to enhance their appearance while maintaining a healthy, natural look.

Some tooth structure may need to be reshaped to accommodate for the veneer.

With proper care and routine hygiene maintenance, Porcelain Veneers can last up to 25 years; Composite Veneers seem to have shorter lifespan due to its material.

Yes but it’s not common. Veneers can fall off due to cementation issues, ageing process or physical contact with the teeth.

Many celebrities choose dental veneers over crowns because veneers can enhance the appearance of teeth while preserving more of the natural tooth structure. Veneers are designed to create a natural-looking, bright, and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Porcelain Veneers are permanent while Lumineers don’t last as long and is reversible.

Veneers are a long-term investment in your smile, helping to enhance the natural appearance of your teeth. They can boost your confidence and contribute to a positive self-image by giving you a smile you feel proud to show.
