Composite Veneers Brisbane

In your free initial discussion, your dentist will look at your teeth, listen to your concerns, and discuss the changes you’d like to see in your smile.

We’ll talk through whether composite veneers are the right option for you, explain the benefits compared to porcelain veneers, and outline the cost and treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect.

We do a comprehensive examination and full mouth clean to:

1. Make sure the teeth are strong enough to have composite veneers
2. Make sure there is no inflammation of the gums. If there is inflammation then it will affect the outcome of the veneers

We only do digital smile design for porcelain

In this final appointment, your dentist will prepare your teeth for the composite veneer application.

Next, the composite resin is applied directly to your teeth. Your dentist sculpts the resin by hand, building it up in thin layers to create your desired shape, size, and symmetry for your smile. This allows for complete customisation, whether you want a subtle improvement or a dramatic transformation.

Once the composite veneers have been applied, your dentist will use a special curing light to harden each layer to ensure strength and durability. 

Your new veneers are then refined, polished, and smoothed to give a natural shine and blend seamlessly into your smile.

Some mild sensitivity is normal in the first day or two. You can usually eat normally straight away, but try to avoid very hard or staining foods for the first 24–48 hours.

Your dentist will let you know when to return for a review, polish or touch-up to keep your veneers looking their best.

There are a few differences between porcelain and composite veneers, with each option having its own unique benefits.

• Porcelain veneers are thin slices of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your tooth. They are resistant to staining and last from 10 – 15 years.
• Composite resin veneers are cheaper than porcelain veneers and have a faster application process, with a lifespan of 4 – 8 years. They are less resistant to staining and more prone to wearing down and chipping. We can help maintain them for longer with regular check up and cleans where we can give the composites a polish.

If you’re unsure whether porcelain or composite veneers are right for you, book in for an initial discussion with our friendly team.

Typically, composite veneers last 4 – 8 years, provided the patient maintains good oral hygiene. Once your veneers have been applied, our team will take you through the aftercare requirements in order for them to last as long as possible.

The preparation of composite veneers preserves the largest amount of tooth structure, as very little needs to be removed. They can improve the appearance of your teeth, and gum tissues respond well to dental veneers.

A consultation is needed to determine how many veneers are required. It is a good idea to have an even number of veneers. Six, eight, ten or twelve veneers give the best aesthetic results and come in veneer packages, making them more affordable. At Fix Dental, our team of cosmetic dentists will advise you on the best amount needed to achieve your goals.

At Fix Dental, we offer veneer packages at fixed prices, bringing back your smile:

• Single tooth: $590
• 6 tooth package: $2,394
• $399/tooth in packages of 6 or more per arch

We also offer flexible, interest-free payment options, making it easier to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted without financial stress.

If you are looking for more than 6 composite veneers in one arch, we offer them at a package deal of $399/tooth

Composite veneers are a great option if you have minor cosmetic concerns such as chips, stains, small gaps or uneven tooth shape. They’re well suited to people with healthy teeth and gums, realistic expectations and those wanting a more affordable or reversible alternative to porcelain.

Composite veneers may not be suitable if you have significant misalignment, advanced decay or gum disease, or if you grind your teeth heavily without protection. They also may not be the best choice if you’re hoping for a dramatic, long-lasting transformation that is better achieved with porcelain veneers.
