About the Treatment

What are porcelain veneers?

Dr Pierre Khazin at Dr Pierre Dentistry, Edgecliff

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of dental ceramic bonded to the front surface of teeth. They may be considered by patients wanting to address concerns such as chips, wear, gaps, discolouration or unevenness.

Veneers are one of several options. Depending on your clinical situation, alternatives such as whitening, composite bonding or alignment may be more appropriate — these are always discussed before any decision is made.

Some tooth preparation is often required and is irreversible. Suitability can only be determined after an in-person clinical assessment.

The Process

Our approach to veneer treatment

Treatment is carried out personally by Dr Pierre Khazin from first assessment to final review.

01
Comprehensive consultation
Examination, digital records and a discussion of your goals — including whether veneers are clinically appropriate for you at all, and what the alternatives are.
02
Smile planning
Digital scans and photography inform an individualised design. Where clinically suitable, a trial preview lets you assess the proposed shape before treatment begins.
03
Placement & review
Custom-crafted porcelain, carefully bonded, followed by a review appointment to fine-tune comfort and bite.

Common Questions

Porcelain veneer FAQs

Am I suitable for porcelain veneers?↓
Suitability depends on factors including the condition of your teeth and gums, your bite, and your goals. It can only be determined through an in-person consultation and clinical assessment. Alternatives such as whitening, composite bonding or alignment may also be discussed.
Do teeth need to be prepared (shaved) for veneers?↓
Some tooth preparation is often required to allow veneers to sit correctly, and this is irreversible. The amount varies case by case; the degree of preparation likely for your situation is discussed during planning, before any treatment starts.
Is the procedure painful?↓
Local anaesthetic is typically used during preparation and placement to keep you comfortable. Some sensitivity afterwards is common and usually settles. Comfort options are discussed at your consultation.
How long do porcelain veneers last?↓
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, porcelain veneers may last around 10–15 years on average, though longevity varies with individual factors such as bite, diet and habits. They are not permanent and will likely need replacement over time. Individual results vary.
How should I care for my veneers?↓
Much like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular check-ups and cleans so the veneers and the teeth beneath them can be monitored.
What are the risks?↓
As with any dental procedure, veneers carry risks — including tooth sensitivity, irreversible changes to tooth structure, and the possibility of chipping or debonding. These, along with alternatives, are explained during your consultation so you can make an informed decision. Consider seeking a second opinion before proceeding with any treatment.
How much do veneers cost?↓
Cost depends on the number of veneers and the complexity of your case. You'll receive a personalised written quote after your consultation, before deciding to proceed. HICAPS on-the-spot health fund claims are available; payment options can be discussed at the practice.

Clear quotes, before you decide

We believe you should understand both your treatment and its cost before committing. Every plan comes with a written quote, and payment options — including HICAPS on-the-spot claims — can be discussed at the practice.
