  1. 01

    Meet and explore

    Tell us what you would like to change. We assess your smile and take the records needed for planning.

    Together, we plan the teeth involved, proportions, shade and overall character, with a written plan and quote.

  3. 03

    Preview the proposed result

    Where appropriate, digital and provisional stages let you respond to shape, length and balance.

  4. 04

Who veneers may suit

When you want to refine more than one detail.

Porcelain veneers may be considered when you would like a coordinated change to the colour, shape or proportion of selected visible teeth.

  • Colour that whitening may not resolve

    For selected discolouration or uneven shade where changing natural tooth colour alone may not deliver the look you want.

  • Chips, wear or uneven edges

    To create a smoother, more even appearance across selected visible teeth.

  • Small gaps or uneven proportions

    To refine the visible size, shape or spacing of selected teeth.

  • A more cohesive smile

    To coordinate changes in colour, shape and proportion.

Risks and maintenance

Preparation, replacement and daily care.

Porcelain veneers are irreversible and usually require some enamel preparation. They can chip, fracture or need replacement over time, and they do not protect teeth from decay or gum disease.

Your dentist will explain likely preparation, benefits, alternatives, risks and maintenance for your case before you consent.

Suitability, preparation, results and longevity vary by person. Your written plan will set out the proposed treatment, costs, aftercare and review arrangements.

Common questions

Veneer questions.

Will my veneers look natural?
Natural-looking veneers are planned as part of your whole smile, not selected from a uniform template. We consider shade, translucency, shape, length and proportion alongside your face and natural teeth.
Can I preview the proposed result?
Planning may include digital visualisation and a provisional trial smile where appropriate. These stages let you discuss shape, length and balance before the final porcelain is made. A preview is a planning guide, not a guarantee of an identical result.
What should I expect from preparation and recovery?
The amount of enamel preparation varies with the starting tooth position, shape and planned result, and any removal is irreversible. When preparation is needed, local anaesthetic is typically used. Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness can occur after preparation or fitting; your dentist will explain what to expect for your case.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
Porcelain veneers at Ivy Dental start from $1,200 per tooth. Your written quote will reflect the number of teeth, preparation complexity, materials, laboratory requirements and any care needed first.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers do not last forever. Longevity varies with the material, your bite and habits, oral health and ongoing care. Daily cleaning, regular reviews and a night guard when prescribed can all matter.
What if I am not sure veneers are right for me?
At your consultation, we assess suitability and discuss your options. No tooth preparation takes place at the first visit.
