Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment for people who wish to improve the appearance of their smile. Our talented cosmetic dentists use thin, tooth-coloured shells to overlay teeth so that any imperfections are hidden; leaving a dull, chipped or discoloured smile completely regenerated.

At Bond Street, we prioritise understanding our patients’ needs to ensure a successful outcome. Our team of experts meticulously consider every aspect, from the shape and colour to the size of each tooth to seamlessly blend the porcelain veneers with your natural teeth, creating a flawless and natural-looking smile.

While some dentists use composite materials to make dental veneers, Bond Street only uses the highest quality porcelain that is handcrafted just for you by Australia’s leading technicians.

The main difference between porcelain and composite veneers is the quality of the materials and process used to attach the veneer shell to your teeth. With porcelain veneers, a thin porcelain shell is gently adhered to the outer surface of your tooth. Composite veneers, on the other hand, use engineered resin or other materials which are fixed to the outer surface.

Porcelain veneers are more durable than composite, meaning they can be enjoyed for many years with minimal chance of chipping or staining. They’re also known for looking more natural and attractive than the alternative, which is why they’re a gold standard in cosmetic dentistry.

Porcelain veneers can be a great option in your cosmetic treatment plan, it’s important to have a thorough consultation with our team so that we can discuss and assess your suitability.

Porcelain veneers may be a good treatment if your teeth are:

• Crooked.
• Have enamel defects.
• Suffer from fluorosis or tetracycline staining.
• Poorly shaped.
• Gapped.
• Discoloured.
• Chipped or worn.
• Cracked or broken.

Many individuals assume that getting veneers is a painful process. In reality, while pain tolerance levels vary among patients—the majority report that the veneer procedure is relatively painless.

One of the many benefits of choosing top-quality porcelain veneers is that the procedure is considered non-invasive. However, for maximum comfort, your dentist will give you a local anaesthetic.

At Bond Street, we are committed to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where patients always feel at ease. We recognise that some individuals may experience anxiety about visiting the dentist and strive to alleviate these concerns in any way possible. If you have worries regarding pain or the specifics of a particular procedure, please don’t hesitate to discuss this with our team.

Preserving as much of the natural tooth structure during the veneer procedure ensures:

• Nerve health is maintained.
• Optimal tooth strength.
• Longevity of the veneer.

Dr Brent Dickman focuses on removing the least amount of natural tooth to achieve optimal and durable results. Most veneers involve the removal of a portion of the natural tooth to accommodate the new porcelain or resin veneer.

Dr Brent Dickman will collaborate with you to achieve your aesthetic goals that complement your facial features and smile. His expertise allows for minimal removal—typically only 0.3 millimetres of a natural tooth—ensuring a superior smile regeneration.

When considering this procedure, patients often express concern about the extent of natural tooth alteration required. Each treatment plan is customised to meet your unique goals and outcomes. Our team at Bond Street prioritises discussing all options and potential outcomes to achieve the smile you desire while maintaining conservative approaches to preserve the health and structure of your natural teeth.

Typically, conventional veneers require the removal of approximately 0.5 to 0.7 millimetres of the tooth’s front surface. This precise adjustment ensures a seamless fit that looks and feels natural without bulkiness.

There’s no real downtime required after receiving your porcelain veneers—but you may require a period of adjustment to get used to the new look and feel of your smile. To help care for your new porcelain veneers, and to ensure their maximum longevity:

• Use a soft toothbrush.
• Avoid hard or chewy foods for approximately one week after treatment.
• Practice good oral hygiene.
• Seek treatment for teeth-grinding issues.

With the right care, porcelain veneers can last for decades and offer greater longevity than those made with composite materials. Because Bond Street only use the highest quality porcelain from Australia’s leading technicians, your veneers have the greatest chance of looking and feeling their best, for years.

At Bond Street, we pride ourselves on being completely transparent with our costs, which our treatment coordinator will personally discuss with you as we put together your tailored treatment plan. We understand that cosmetic dentistry can be a big investment, which is why we also offer a variety of flexible payment options to suit different budgets.

For specific coverage details, it’s advisable to consult directly with your insurance provider.

During your complimentary initial consultation with Dr Brent Dickman, you can receive a detailed breakdown of costs for potential health insurance submission.

Going overseas for dental work may sound like a cost-effective alternative, but due to overly relaxed regulations and the chance of infection or sub-par materials, many who do, end up regretting their decision. Save yourself from the pain and hassle of booking in corrective work from an Australian dentist and speak to our team of experts before having any major dental work done overseas.
