A NEW SMILE INVOLVES VISION & TEAMWORK

Affordable porcelain veneers in Melbourne

At The Smile Designer, we personalise in affordable porcelain veneers in Melbourne so our patients can restore the functionality and aesthetics of teeth. If there are any cosmetic concerns you would like addressed — we can work through all the options.

Porcelain veneers cover imperfections. They are thin shells placed over existing teeth, providing a new surface and shape to your smile. This can help to create a more uniform solution to the smile. The key to a successful outcome is understanding our patient’s requirements and gaining an understanding of each existing tooth’s shape, colour and size — each should seamlessly blend in to create natural-looking facial aesthetics.

When you choose The Smile Designer, we value exceptional service, state-of-the-art technology, and a dental clinic that cares about your dental health and well-being. With years of experience in dental care, we understand how to give you a smile you will love to share. Read our blog guide for more information.

Porcelain veneer treatment at The Smile Designer Melbourne

The Smile Designer Studio procedure

As we prepare you for the procedure, our dentists will administer local anaesthesia to numb the area and perform the necessary tooth preparations. We then undertake digital scans, which we send to our team of master ceramists, who prepare your very own custom porcelain shells. Temporary veneers are placed — a test drive of your smile — which we adjust as needed. The timeframe usually consists of 3 weeks to prepare and receive the veneers. Once cemented, we polish and etch the tooth surface, apply bonding gel, place your new veneers and harden the bonding with a special light beam.

Appointment 1

At your first consultation with our team, we will review your options, costs and payment plan options. Using our collective knowledge, we assist you in reaching your goals. Once we have worked out an action plan for you, we will take clinical records and begin the digital smile process. When you visit us for your first appointment, our location is on High Street, the border of Thornbury and South Preston, a few minutes away from Northcote, Heidelberg, Preston and Brunswick.

Appointment 2

Once we analyse all the clinical records, photos and scans, we organise a consultation appointment to review the results and our next steps. This step gives us a clearer picture of our treatment’s effects. Feedback from our patients at this stage allows us to make any necessary changes and continue working towards achieving a common goal. Once we have finalised our treatment process and procedures, it is time to start the procedure.

Appointment 3

At the third appointment, we prepare your teeth according to our pre-determined smile outcome. The amount of preparation required will depend on each case. We ensure the fitting surface for your new porcelain veneers is accurate. Impressions and digital scans are taken and sent to our laboratory, where our master ceramists work on creating your new smile. Temporary shells are placed and reviewed, with a follow-up appointment a few days later to check the temporaries’ shape, colour, size and contours — allowing our team to refine and adjust the shells for the best possible result.

Appointment 4

Once the final shells are ready, we will attach them with temporary cement and review the results with you. We will cement the porcelain veneers if everyone is happy with the outcome. Sometimes adjustments are needed, which may require an additional visit. We want you to be 100% happy with the look and feel. They must be reviewed over time, and regular dental hygiene visits are mandatory to maintain the look and health of both your teeth and gums. Learn more about our pricing plans and payment options.

Costs, consultation and treatment planning

Take advantage of our smile consultations, where our cosmetic dentists will take you through the procedure with a detailed dental consultation and smile assessment. Once we have outlined your treatment and the costs, we gather all the necessary information to begin the design process and create a tailored treatment plan based on the consultation.

Porcelain veneers cost in Melbourne, VIC

The cost of veneers in Melbourne typically ranges from $2,200 to $2,500 per tooth. Composite resin veneers are generally cheaper, at around $800 per tooth. Packages for multiple teeth can be discussed with your dentist.

What to expect after treatment

Each case is different and our team will guide you through your post-operative care. We recommend avoiding biting hard candies, ice, your nails, and anything that can put too much pressure on your teeth — and it is best to avoid teeth-staining foods, even though veneers are known for their stain-resistance.

FAQ’s about porcelain veneers

Is this procedure worth getting?+

Choosing a cosmetic dental treatment depends on your individual oral health needs, treatment goals, and personal preferences. A dental practitioner can help determine whether veneers or another treatment option may be appropriate for you. Factors that may be discussed during a consultation include:

Treatment goals: veneers may be considered for patients seeking changes to the appearance of their teeth, including colour, shape, spacing, or minor alignment variations where clinically appropriate.
Oral health: healthy teeth and gums are important considerations before commencing any cosmetic dental treatment. In some cases, veneers may also assist in restoring teeth affected by wear or minor damage.
Longevity: porcelain veneers are designed to be durable; however, treatment outcomes and longevity vary between individuals and depend on ongoing care and maintenance. Some tooth preparation may be required as part of treatment.
Cost considerations: cosmetic dental treatments involve individual costs that may vary depending on the complexity of treatment and future dental needs.
Maintenance requirements: ongoing oral hygiene, regular dental reviews, and appropriate care are important to help maintain veneers over time.
Alternative treatment options: depending on your clinical needs, alternative treatments such as bonding, crowns, whitening, or orthodontic treatment may also be discussed during your consultation.

All medical and dental treatment carries risk. Please review our treatment risks page here.

How much will the procedure cost?+

Depending on each individual and the number of veneers required, costs can vary from $2,200 to $2,500 per tooth. We can discuss multiple teeth packages with our Smile Designer team on how we can make this more affordable for you.

Is long-term maintenance required?+

Proper care ensures how long your veneers last. Caring for them is like caring for your natural teeth but with a few added precautions: daily hygiene routines, six-monthly maintenance visits, avoiding foods that stain or are sticky, not using teeth as tools, and protecting them during sports or if you grind your teeth.

How often do veneers need replacing?+

Like natural teeth, these shells can chip, break and crack. Regular hygiene maintenance visits are ideal to help maintain overall dental and gum health. A composite bonded option will need replacing more often than porcelain ones. We advise wearing a night splint to prevent any nighttime clenching or grinding habits from damaging the delicate shells.

Do my drinking and eating habits need to change?+

Like your natural teeth, you can eat and drink anything you want. You may need to get used to your new smile and bite slowly, but it will start feeling more natural with time. During one of your appointment visits, we will provide you with a complete list of do’s and don’ts.

Does health insurance cover veneers?+

While most insurance companies don’t cover cosmetic procedures, sometimes exceptions exist. Given that every health insurance provider is different, we recommend you contact them to confirm your level of cover.

Do you offer payment plans for cosmetic dentistry?+

Yes, we do offer payment solutions. We have payment plans that can help financially, so speak to our team to work through a plan that suits your needs. We do not offer financial advice, and it is still recommended to speak to your accountant or financial advisor.

How much tooth is removed for veneers?+

One of the primary concerns for many patients is the amount of natural tooth structure that needs removing. Everyone’s needs differ, meaning every treatment goal and outcome is unique. Based on the information we gather, we can walk you through all your options — we aim to be as conservative as possible while maintaining the health and structure of your natural teeth.

Where is your dental clinic located?+

Our Melbourne location is 118-120 High Street, Thornbury. We are on the border of Thornbury and South Preston, close to Bell Street, and just a stone’s throw away from surrounding suburbs like Northcote, Brunswick, Preston and Heidelberg.
