Veneers

Dental Veneers in Pakenham

If you’re feeling too self-conscious to smile due to a cosmetic issue with your teeth, cosmetic veneers could be the answer. These are thin facings that are bonded onto teeth in order to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile. Usually made out of porcelain or composite material, dental veneer procedures are a more conservative treatment compared to other options such as dental crowns. At Pakenham Shine Dental, we offer dental veneers in Pakenham to help improve the appearance of the teeth and give you something to smile about.

What Are the Different Types of Cosmetic Veneers?

There are two types of cosmetic veneers available: porcelain veneers and composite veneers.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are constructed from a quality porcelain material that’s made in a dental lab, meaning more than one appointment is required. However, porcelain is a long-lasting material that’s strong, durable and resistant to staining, making it a superior choice for veneers. At Pakenham Shine Dental, we recommend porcelain veneers in Pakenham for our patients seeking a natural looking and long lasting result.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are made from a composite resin material that’s bonded onto the teeth by a dentist. These types of veneers can be fitted in a single appointment, however, the composite material can be more susceptible to staining and wear over time.

What Issues Are Veneers Suitable For?

Cosmetic veneers are a suitable treatment option for chipped teeth, discoloured teeth, slightly misaligned teeth, or teeth that are too small or misshapen.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

This will depend on which type of veneers you choose and how well you take care of your teeth. With an optimal dental hygiene routine, you can expect composite veneers to last up to 6 years and porcelain veneers to last up to 20 years.

How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost?

The dental veneers cost can vary depending on the type of material the veneers are made from as well as other factors such as how many veneers are required. Porcelain veneers are typically more expensive than composite veneers due to them being specially made in a dental lab. Your dentist will be able to inform you of the cost of both options to help you make a decision.
