Dental Veneers

Choosing dental veneers is a personal decision, and treatment recommendations should always be based on your individual oral health, smile goals, and clinical needs. At Advanced Dental Group, patients considering dental veneers in Riddells Creek receive personalised treatment planning based on their oral health and smile goals. During your consultation, your dental practitioner will assess your teeth and gums, discuss your concerns, and determine whether veneers may be an appropriate treatment option for you.

It is important to understand that veneers may not be suitable for everyone. Factors such as the condition of your natural teeth, bite alignment, existing restorations, and overall oral health are carefully assessed before any treatment recommendations are made. In some situations, alternative restorative or cosmetic dental treatments may be discussed if they are considered more appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Our veneer process is tailored to each patient. Depending on the type of veneer selected and your treatment requirements, your dental practitioner may discuss preparation of the teeth, digital impressions or scans, shade selection, and the expected treatment timeline. Throughout each stage, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions while your dental practitioner builds a detailed understanding of your oral health before discussing the findings with you.

First, you will have an initial consultation with our dentist to discuss the procedure and what it involves. Where clinically indicated, X-rays may also be recommended.

In preparation for the veneer, our dentist will remove approximately 0.5 mm of enamel from the tooth surface and then take an impression of your teeth. This model is sent out to a dental laboratory, which in turn constructs your veneer.

The next stage is the bonding process. Before the veneer is cemented to your tooth, our dentist will place it temporarily on the tooth to examine its fit and colour. At this stage, the veneer may need to be removed and trimmed to achieve an accurate fit.

Then, your tooth will be cleaned and polished as well as etched. This roughens the surface of the tooth, which allows for a strong bonding process to take place. When the tooth is properly positioned, a light beam is applied to the dental veneer, activating chemicals in the cement, causing the veneer to harden quickly. When this is done, our dental professionals will assess your bite and make any final adjustments to optimise the fit and appearance of the veneer.

Your dental practitioner may recommend a follow-up appointment to assess healing and ensure the veneers are functioning as expected. Patients seeking Dental Veneers in Wallan will receive a treatment plan tailored to their individual clinical needs before any veneer preparation begins.
