Porcelain & Composite Dental Veneers

Veneers are custom-crafted facings placed on the visible front part of the tooth. To prepare the tooth, a minimal amount of enamel is typically shaved off, though in certain cases, preparation may not be required. Patients can choose between porcelain veneers, which are constructed in a dental laboratory over two visits and generally require less long-term maintenance, or composite veneers, which are completed chairside and offer a more budget-friendly alternative that requires regular repolishing to maintain their finish. Depending on your goals, veneers can also be combined with professional teeth whitening for a comprehensive treatment plan.

Benefits of Veneers:

Minimal Tooth Preparation: Requires minimal to no removal of your natural tooth structure.

Aesthetic Alteration: Designed to alter the shape, colour, and overall appearance of the teeth.

Flexible Options: Available in different materials to suit various clinical requirements and budgets.

Stain Resistance: Porcelain options offer long-term durability and resistance to staining.

Custom Lab-Made Dental Crowns

For teeth that are structurally compromised, such as heavily filled teeth or those that have become dry and brittle following root canal treatment, a full crown can provide necessary coverage and protection. Traditional crowns are constructed off-site in a dental laboratory by technicians to provide a customised fit. They can be made from gold, porcelain-fused-to-gold, zirconia layered with porcelain, or purely porcelain, depending on the functional and aesthetic requirements of the specific tooth. If a compromised tooth cannot be preserved with a crown, alternative options such as dental implant surgery may be considered.

Benefits of Lab-Made Crowns:

Structural Protection: Provides full coverage for heavily decayed, filled, or brittle teeth.

Lab Crafted: Custom-constructed by specialised dental technicians for a precise fit.

Durable Materials: Available in options including gold, which is often recommended for longevity and function on back teeth.

Tailored Solutions: Suited for complex clinical cases requiring specific laboratory customisation.

Prior to treatment, patients are encouraged to review the risks of procedures and treatments to make an informed decision.

Benefits of Chairside Milled Crowns:

Same-Day Service: The scanning, design, and milling process is completed on the same day.

Cost Effective: Reduces the need for multiple appointments and associated laboratory transport fees.

Precise Fit: The digital workflow allows the clinician to build the crown to the correct bite while you are in the chair.

Resilient Materials: Milled from strong materials suitable for posterior teeth where wide or difficult restorations are required.
