Teeth with Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers, also known as, tooth veneers or dental veneers, or teeth with veneers, are a modern aesthetic treatment to fix problems such as chips, wear and tear and severe discolouration of teeth.
Tooth or dental veneers differ to tooth crowns in a way that they only cover the front of the tooth and not its entire circumference.
Tooth veneers have improved dramatically over the years. Newer tooth veneer systems use porcelain materials that are very similar to tooth enamel. This means that they do not stand out as foreign objects and blend in with the rest of the smile perfectly. Modern tooth veneer systems also do not require teeth to be cut extensively for their placement. Tooth enamel is very precious and needs to be preserved as much as possible and modern systems allow us to achieve this goal.
Veneers in Dentistry
The use of veneers in dentistry is a common procedure performed at Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry. Every case is assessed based on its own merit. We consider, using your input, as to what is the most cost-effective and minimally invasive procedure we can provide and what is the minimum number of tooth veneers we can place to produce maximum effect. A mock-up treatment is often performed to assess this and also to see if you are comfortable and happy with the estimated end result.
Once the treatment is approved, we try to duplicate the mock-up as accurately as possible using modern computerised technology. Usually, no injections are given as teeth are often left intact and no cutting is required depending on the case. Please note that bond between the veneer and the tooth is strongest when the tooth veneer is placed on healthy enamel. This is another reason why we keep the cutting of the teeth to an absolute minimum. The longevity of ceramic (porcelain) tooth veneers is very much dependent on home care. As tooth grinding can fracture veneers, wearing a nightguard is often advised.
Dental Veneers – What is involved?
Traditionally dental veneers require cutting of teeth (so the new veneers can be attached to the existing tooth), and fabrication of temporary veneers while the porcelain veneers are made. This often requires injections to numb the teeth, multiple visits and normally a minimum of 1-2 weeks between visits.
This is NOT how dental veneers are done in Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry.
Dental Veneers, Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry way
At Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry, with careful case selection, we provide the veneers with no or minimal cutting of the tooth enamel. Why? Because your tooth enamel gives your teeth strength and rigidity, your tooth can become weaker once cut.
To know how the new veneers will work on your teeth, a “mockup” is performed first. This is to give you and the cosmetic dentist the necessary information about your teeth, lips and face and how the new veneers will look and function. Once the mock-up is approved, a record of the mock-up is taken to ensure it can be replicated.
Teeth are then prepared for impressions so that porcelain veneers can be made. All the sharp edges and bulging sections of the tooth are polished back. As we are not removing the enamel, no injections are needed unless an old filling needs to be removed.
Digital Smile Design Adelaide
Our high-quality, natural-looking porcelain dental veneers are designed by computer technology using the blueprint of the performed mock-up. This is called Digital Smile Design. They are then fabricated, polished and perfected. This process takes a few days for large cases or can be done while you wait in a single tooth case.
The veneers are tried in, observed and adjusted if needed. The colour can be modified using a variety of shades of cement (glue) to make sure it blends in with the rest of the teeth seamlessly.
It is only when both you and the dentist are happy with the results, and you have given the final OK that the veneers are placed permanently.
We pride ourselves in the naturally beautiful results that we create. Often other dental professionals won’t be able to tell from our pictures which tooth has the veneer. Results though dramatic, are so subtle that patients’ close friends even are often unable to pick what is changed.
Our Process
At Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry every case is assessed based on its own merit. We consider, using your input, as to what is the most cost-effective and minimally invasive procedure we can provide and what is the minimum number of tooth veneers we can place to produce maximum effect. A mock-up treatment is often performed to assess this and also to see if you are comfortable and happy with the estimated end result. Here’s how the process takes place.
Consultation
A discussion about what you would like to achieve is the first step. Your options are then discussed based on your individual circumstances.
Mock Up
When choosing veneers, a mockup of the finished results is performed directly on your teeth. We look at it together and perfect it to the point that meets both the aesthetic and functional needs.
Digital Mould & Onsite Fabrication
A digital impression (mould) is then taken for making the veneers based on the performed mockup. Minimum roughening of the outer layer of enamel (not visible by naked eye) is required.
Smile!
The veneers are cemented on after the final observation and necessary adjustments. we often ask you to return for a review appointment. Nightguards are sometimes needed to protect your teeth and your new veneers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin.
Porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care, while composite veneers typically last 2-5 years.
Veneers do not ruin your teeth when placed correctly by a qualified dentist. Here at Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry, we do not cut down your tooth.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can improve the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth, but severe misalignment may require orthodontic treatment first or instead.
Porcelain is the closest looking material to a natural tooth. Porcelain veneers maintain their shine and appearance just like a tooth. Shade matching allows a likeness that only a true professional will be able to tell the difference.
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, but composite veneers can stain over time, especially with coffee, tea, or smoking.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
The cost of porcelain veneers ranges from $1000 to $1800 per tooth, depending on the material and the complexity of the case.
Are there alternatives to veneers?
Yes, alternatives include dental bonding, teeth whitening, and orthodontics, depending on your cosmetic goals.
The procedure can vary depending on all of the treatment recommended. Porcelain veneers take a few days from impressions to cementation, or be done while you wait if we have only one veneer to do. One of our benefits is that we digitally manufacture our veneers in-house and have full control over the design and manufacturing process, meaning we will have you smiling sooner!
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth the Investment?
For many patients, cosmetic dentistry is a life-changing investment. Beyond improving the aesthetics of your smile, it can boost confidence, enhance social and professional interactions, and even contribute to better oral health.

Victoria Shinakis
Easily and by far the best dentist I have found in Adelaide. I moved here about 10 years ago and went from dentist to dentist until I found Rosh. No one here came close. Extremely diligent, caring, supportive, understanding, but most importantly, thorough at her job and doesn’t quit until you are happy with the results. What more could you possibly ask from your dentist? Dr. Rosh has surrounded herself with a very nice team, which is always happy to help whenever they can and give advice where they can. Honestly, you can’t put a price on getting your teeth the best care they could have.
Piero Barazin
I have had the most wonderful experience with Dr Amrein and her team. I was made to feel very comfortable, and as I have anxiety regarding dental work the team made sure to explain everything to me and were incredibly gentle. They completely put me at ease and Dr Amrein’s work is impeccable. I have wanted to get cosmetic dental work completed for a long time, and after researching I settled on Dr Amrein due to her excellent reputation. I have found her to be very professional, friendly, thorough and excellent at her job. I can’t wait for the end results of my treatments. I highly recommend Dr Amrein and the team at Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry.
