DENTAL VENEERS · CANBERRA
Your smile.
A considered choice.
Considering dental veneers in Barton or Canberra’s Inner South? We welcome new patients from Deakin, Red Hill, Yarralumla and nearby suburbs to discuss smile goals, suitable alternatives and what treatment would mean for their natural teeth.
START WITH YOUR GOALS
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin covers attached to the front of teeth to change their appearance. They do not treat decay or correct bite problems.
Discuss your teeth, gums, bite and any grinding or clenching. Suitability and the proposed material depend on your assessment.
Discuss the change
Bring your questions about colour, shape and expectations. Tell your dentist what matters most to you.
Compare the options
Alternatives may include whitening, orthodontics, a small resin repair or keeping your teeth as they are.

Explore clear alignersBEFORE YOU DECIDE
Understand the commitment.
Will natural tooth structure be removed?
Some enamel may need to be removed to fit veneers. Ask exactly what preparation is proposed and whether this change is irreversible.
What risks and limitations should I consider?
Sensitivity, cracking or loosening can occur. Veneer colour cannot be changed after placement, and surrounding teeth may change colour. Ask about the risks for your teeth and bite.
What ongoing care is needed?
Continue brushing, flossing and regular dental reviews. Veneers may need repair or replacement over time. Ask for individual care instructions and future maintenance costs.
Aftercare and treatment questionsGeneral patient information: healthdirect — veneers. Your assessment and individual consent discussion determine your care.
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS
Plan the whole treatment.
Ask for the proposed plan and fees to be explained before proceeding. Confirm the number of teeth, material, appointments, assessment costs and what follow-up is included.
Can I take time to decide?
You can take time to consider elective treatment and seek another dental opinion. Tell us if you need more explanation before making your choice.
Will everything be decided at my first visit?
Your first conversation starts the assessment. Ask whether additional records or appointments are needed before your final plan can be confirmed.
