PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain Veneers In Balmain
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-coloured porcelain (ceramic) shells that are carefully crafted to bond to and cover the front of teeth – similar to a false fingernail. Veneers can be used to cover dark or yellow teeth, fill gaps, lengthen short or stubby teeth and straighten a crooked smile.
Veneers create a life-like tooth appearance, and their translucency mimics the light absorption of your natural teeth enamel. Veneers are a more conservative treatment than a crown and are often used if the underlying tooth is strong and healthy.
PORCELAIN VENEERS ARE ROUTINELY USED TO FIX THE FOLLOWING:
- Teeth that are discoloured — from root canal treatment or other medication, excessive fluoride, large resin fillings, or other causes.
- Teeth that are worn, chipped or broken.
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, if they have craters or bulges).
- Teeth that have gaps between them.

Veneers generally last between 10 to 15 years if looked after properly – regular dental check-ups, flossing and brushing, wearing a night guard if known to grind teeth.

Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s colour and shape and they generally don’t require the extensive shaping prior to the procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative.
- They provide a natural tooth appearance.
- Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.
- Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
- The colour of a porcelain veneer can be selected so it makes dark teeth appear whiter.

Because enamel has been removed, your tooth may become more sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages.
Though not likely, veneers can dislodge and fall off. To minimise the chance of this occurring, do not bite your nails, chew on pencils, ice, or other hard objects, or put excessive pressure on your teeth.
Veneers are not a good choice for people with unhealthy teeth (decay or active gum disease), weakened teeth (as a result of decay, fracture, large fillings), or for those who do not have enough enamel on the tooth surface.
People who clench and grind their teeth are poor candidates for porcelain veneers, as these activities can cause veneers to crack or chip.
