FAQs about veneers answered by our team

When someone is looking for a way to brighten their smile without whitening, or they are looking for a way to cover cracks in their teeth, they may assume that the treatment options will be different.

Porcelain laminates, however, are a popular cosmetic dental procedure that are thin, custom-made coverings of porcelain which are bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. And, as you may have guessed, they can even be used to whiten your smile!

When you come to see our team at Spa Dental Sydney, we will assess your suitability for veneers Sydney, and will always aim to ensure that the laminates are used to their full extent to improve the appearance of your teeth, so you can leave our surgery with a stunning smile.

Want to learn more about veneers Sydney? Here are 5 frequently asked questions that our team receives about porcelain laminates.

What are the benefits of porcelain laminates?

Porcelain laminates offer a range of benefits. They can improve the appearance of stained, discoloured, chipped, or misaligned teeth. They can also close gaps between teeth and make teeth look longer or more symmetrical. Veneers Sydney are durable, resistant to staining, and can last for up to 20 years with proper care. They are also less invasive than other cosmetic dental procedures, such as crowns or braces.

What does the process of getting porcelain laminates involve?

The process of getting porcelain laminates typically involves three visits to the dentist. During the first visit, our dentist will assess your teeth and discuss the desired outcome of the procedure. We will also take impressions of your teeth and prepare them for the laminates. During the second visit, the dentist will bond the laminates to your teeth using dental cement. They may need to make adjustments to the fit and colour of the laminates to ensure they look natural and blend in with your surrounding teeth. During the final visit, the dentist will check the laminates for fit and make any necessary adjustments.

Are porcelain laminates reversible?

Porcelain laminates are not reversible, as the process of preparing the teeth and bonding the laminates is irreversible. However, it is possible to replace the laminates if they become damaged or if the patient is unhappy with the results. It is important to discuss the risks and any concerns that you have about laminates with our team.

How do I care for porcelain laminates?

Porcelain laminates require the same care as natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are important to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent staining. Laminate patients should also avoid using their teeth to open bottles, as this can also cause damage. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings with our team are also important to maintain the health of the laminates and surrounding teeth.

How much do porcelain laminates cost?

The cost of porcelain laminates can vary depending on a range of factors, including the number of laminates required, the complexity of the procedure, and the location of the dental practice. Luckily, at Spa Dental Sydney, we are able to offer our patients 0% financing, so you can get the more radiant smile you want for a more affordable monthly sum.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
