Composite and Porcelain Veneers
At Belmont Dental Surgery, we are experienced in providing high-quality dental veneers to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Our team of dentists have a high level of cosmetic experience and can help you determine which type of veneer treatment is the best choice for you.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin, and they are bonded to your teeth using dental cement.
What to Expect When Getting Veneers
At Belmont Dental Surgery, we are experienced in creating beautiful, natural-looking veneers. But what can you expect during the process of getting dental veneers?
Let us walk you through each step of the procedure:
Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation, one of our experienced dentists will examine your teeth and discuss your goals for treatment. We’ll take x-rays and impressions of your teeth to help us create custom-made veneers that fit your teeth perfectly.
Tooth Preparation
Once we’ve determined that dental veneers are the right choice for you, we’ll prepare your teeth for the veneers by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth. This will ensure that the veneers fit correctly and look natural.
We’ll then take impressions of your teeth and send them to our dental laboratory, where your custom-made veneers will be created.
Veneer Fabrication and Bonding
After your veneers are prepared, we’ll arrange another appointment to perform composite bonding, attaching them securely to your teeth.
Initially, we’ll position the veneers to ensure an ideal fit, followed by the composite bonding process using dental cement to affix them firmly to your teeth.
Subsequently, we’ll fine-tune as needed to ensure proper alignment for your bite and a seamless, natural appearance of the veneers.
Follow-up Care
After your veneers are bonded to your teeth, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene habits to ensure that they last as long as possible. This includes brushing and flossing regularly and visiting our clinic for regular check-ups and cleanings.
With proper care, your dental veneers can last for many years, providing you with a beautiful, healthy smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment at present. If you’re getting veneers, you may have some questions in mind. Here, we’ll address some of the most frequently asked questions about dental veneers:
How long do dental veneers last?
With proper care, dental veneers can last for 10-15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help to extend the lifespan of your veneers, as can avoiding biting hard objects and practicing good oral hygiene habits.
Are dental veneers painful to get?
Getting dental veneers is generally not painful, as the procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia to numb the teeth and gums.
Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can dental veneers be removed?
Dental veneers are intended to be a permanent cosmetic solution, and removing them can potentially damage the underlying tooth structure. However, in some cases, veneers may need to be replaced due to damage or wear over time.
How do I care for my dental veneers?
Caring for dental veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and avoiding biting hard objects or using your teeth as tools. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also important to maintain the health and longevity of your veneers.
What's the difference between composite and porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers (customised thin porcelain layers fitted over teeth) are highly durable, stain-resistant, and offer a natural look, lasting for years with proper care.
In contrast, composite veneers are less expensive, made from tooth-coloured resin, and shaped in a single dentist visit. However, composite veneers are not as durable as porcelain and require more frequent replacements.
What are the benefits of dental veneers?
If you’re considering dental veneers, it’s important to understand the benefits they can offer. Here are just a few of the many benefits of dental veneers:
Natural Look and Feel
One of the biggest benefits of dental veneers is that they can provide a natural look and feel. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are designed to mimic the appearance of your natural teeth, so no one will be able to tell that you have veneers.
Long-lasting Results
When properly cared for, dental veneers can last for many years. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are highly durable and can provide long-lasting results.
Correcting Various Dental Issues
Dental veneers can help correct a wide range of dental issues, from discoloured or stained teeth to chipped or cracked teeth. They can also be used to close gaps between teeth and correct minor misalignments.
Boosting Your Confidence and Self-Esteem
By improving the appearance of your teeth, dental veneers can help boost your confidence and self-esteem. You’ll be able to smile and speak with confidence, knowing that your teeth look their best.
Are dental veneers a good investment?
Dental veneers can be a great investment for those who want to improve the appearance of their smile and boost their confidence.
While the cost of veneers can vary depending on a range of factors, such as the material used and the number of teeth being treated, many patients find that the long-term benefits of veneers outweigh the initial investment.
Cost of Dental Veneers in Perth
The cost of dental veneers can vary depending on a number of factors, including the number of veneers you need, the material used to make them, and the experience and qualifications of your dentist.
On average, the cost of a single veneer in Perth can range from $800 to $2500. This means that if you’re getting multiple veneers, the cost can quickly add up. However, it’s important to remember that dental veneers are a long-term investment in your smile, and can last up to 10-15 years with proper care.
| Veneer Type | Approximate Cost Per Tooth |
| Porcelain | $1,600 |
| Composite | $500 |
