What are dental veneers?

Stained, chipped or worn teeth can be hard to ignore, and for many people they affect confidence in everyday situations. Veneers are thin, custom-crafted coverings placed over the front surface of your teeth, designed to blend naturally with your smile so they enhance your appearance without looking artificial.

Your new smile is planned and previewed before any treatment begins, so you know what to expect. Outcomes may vary between patients, and your suitability will be assessed during a clinical consultation.

Dental veneers before and after

This patient's upper front teeth had become worn and chipped over time, with uneven edges and some discolouration affecting their smile. Porcelain veneers were used to rebuild the worn teeth, restore an even length and shape, and refresh the colour. The result is a fuller, healthier-looking smile that suits their face.

This patient was self-conscious about a visible gap between their upper front teeth, along with some unevenness and discolouration.

YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING...

How much do veneers cost in Wollongong?

The cost of veneers depends on the material, how many teeth are treated, and the complexity of your case, so there's no single fixed price. Composite is usually the lower upfront cost, while porcelain generally lasts longer, which can affect the long-term value. Because every case differs, an accurate figure can only come from an in-person assessment. At Southern Dental Specialists in Wollongong, we provide a personalised treatment plan and quote at your consultation, and can talk through payment plan options to help spread the cost. You can learn more about our finance options for veneers here.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers generally last 10 to 15 years, and often longer with good care, while composite veneers typically last around 4 to 8 years before they may need repair or replacement. Longevity depends heavily on how you look after them: brushing and flossing, regular dental check-ups, avoiding biting hard objects, and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth all make a difference. Veneers don't decay, but the natural tooth underneath still can, so ongoing oral hygiene matters. Habits like nail-biting or using your teeth to open packaging can shorten their lifespan considerably. At Southern Dental Specialists in Wollongong, we'll show you how to care for your veneers and monitor them at your routine visits to help them last.

Are veneers permanent, and can they be removed?

Veneers are usually a long-term, non-reversible treatment because a thin layer of enamel is removed to fit them, meaning the tooth will always need a veneer or crown afterward. Some minimal-prep or composite options remove little to no enamel and can sometimes be reversed, depending on your case. At Southern Dental Specialists Wollongong, we make sure you understand what your treatment covers.

Do veneers damage your teeth?

Veneers don't damage healthy teeth when planned and placed correctly, though fitting them usually removes a small amount of enamel that won't grow back. Teeth aren't filed down to pegs: only a thin front layer is prepared, and some minimal-prep options remove almost none. The main long-term risk is neglecting the tooth underneath. Our dental experts in Southern Dental Specialist Wollongong, we use a clinical safe approach to protect your natural teeth.

Am I a good candidate for veneers, and how many will I need?

No, with the All-on-4 procedure, patients typically receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the implant surgery. This means you have functional teeth during the healing process. The temporary prosthesis is designed to be comfortable and allow you to eat and speak normally while the implants integrate with the jawbone over the next several months.
