Ceramic Veneers in Warners Bay

Ceramic veneers at SmilesHQ conceal aesthetic imperfections and Before & After Veneers at SmilesHQ enhance your smile's symmetry and brilliance. Dr Amy Calvin and Dr Nathalia Garritano earned postgraduate diplomas to provide sound veneers that meet your treatment goals. Both doctors continuously seek educational opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge in dentistry, ensuring they provide exemplary care.

What Are Ceramic Veneers?

A veneer is a thin ceramic shell covering a tooth's front surface. You can have one veneer on a single tooth or multiple veneers on several teeth to create a more uniform smile.

Veneers Are Versatile and Customisable

Veneers' beauty is in their versatility, as they can correct almost anything you don't like about your teeth––without looking fake, bulky or over-the-top. Veneers can repair minor damage and improve the appearance of dark, dull or yellow teeth. Some of the concerns veneers can correct are:

Gaps or spaces between teeth
Mild misalignments or crooked teeth
Misshapen teeth
Cracks, chips and fractures
Stains and discolouration

Our skilled cosmetic dentists customise your veneers to complement your appearance and enhance your natural appearance.

Ceramic veneers are stain-resistant, so you don't have to worry about coffee or tea interfering with your smile's colour and shine. Ceramic veneers are also strong and durable, making them a reliable, lasting cosmetic option.

The Veneer Process

The dentist removes thin layers of enamel to fit your ceramic veneers so the veneers precisely fit your smile. The veneer will look bulky and improperly lay over the tooth without reshaping the enamel.

Next, our team takes impressions of your teeth and sends them to our dental lab partners, where a trained technician moulds and colour-matches the veneers to your teeth. When the veneers return from the lab, the dentist bonds them to your teeth with special dental cement.

Proper care ensures that your ceramic veneers can last for years and keep your smile fresh and attractive.

How to Care for Your Veneers

Veneers are durable, but they're not indestructible. Because they're a thin ceramic layer, it's important to remember they can loosen, crack and break under pressure. We recommend that patients avoid chewing ice, hard candies and similar items.

During the first few days after the procedure, we ask patients to avoid eating nuts, popcorn, seeds and hard bread. It's also beneficial to wear a night guard if you grind or clench your teeth, as the guard prevents your teeth and veneers from wearing down.

If you'd like more guidance on how to best care for your veneers, we invite you to contact our Warners Bay dental practice. Our friendly and helpful team are always pleased to offer advice on how to care for your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pros and cons of veneers?

SmilesHQ provides ceramic veneers to cover and restore the appearance and strength of teeth. Though veneers primarily concentrate on cosmetic improvement, they also add a layer of protection to the front surfaces of your teeth. A veneer can mask the appearance of stains and misalignments while also restoring a chipped tooth.

Pros of Veneers

Instant Results – The veneer process only requires two dental visits. With veneers, patients can instantly improve their smile's shape, colour and symmetry.

Customisable – Veneers are easily customisable to fit your teeth and naturally blend in with your smile. We can create veneers in the precise size, shape and shade you desire.

Natural Appearance – Ceramic veneers look like natural teeth as they have the same light-reflecting qualities as enamel.

Stain-Resistant – Unlike natural teeth, ceramic veneers are not porous, so they do not collect stains. You can maintain a white, fresh smile with ceramic veneers for many years.

Cons of Veneers

Though veneers can give patients the smile they've always wanted, some patients consider their permanence a drawback. To fit veneers, we must reshape tooth enamel, which doesn't grow back. The minimal removal of tooth enamel is the irreversible aspect of this procedure.

What Is the Right Cosmetic Treatment for Me?

The only way to determine which cosmetic treatment is right for you is to book a consultation with one of our dentists in Warners Bay.

During the appointment, Dr Calvin or Dr Garritano will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan based on your specific case.

If you're ready to change the appearance of your smile with cosmetic dentistry, our friendly team invites you to book an appointment.

We look forward to helping you reach your smile goals.

Can I get cosmetic veneers done in Newcastle?

Yes! At SmilesHQ we work with you to design and achieve your DREAM SMILE!

Both Dr Amy Calvin and Dr Nathalia Garritano have done extensive post-graduate training in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry recognised by the Australian Collage of Dental Practitioners.

Both dentists have a wealth of experience when it comes to designing smiles with dental veneers. We recognise that cosmetic work needs to follow and fit the shape of the face to be harmonious. Whether you are looking to create a dramatic change with very white veneers or a more natural look that enhances your smile, we can help.

Cosmetic Dental Consultations in Warners Bay

To start the process, book a Cosmetic Consultation with SmilesHQ if your dental check-up and x-rays are up to date. Alternatively, you may need a New Patient Comprehensive Examination to review your entire oral health before thoroughly planning cosmetic procedures. Book your consultation here.

We begin by listening to what you want to change or achieve, outline the possibilities, then take a photo of your existing smile in our professional photo studio. Using the iPad we then draw the design over your smile photos.

Digitally Designing Your Smile

Moving forward, we plan a complete digital design, then take this for a test drive in your mouth! It’s called “trial smile.” This ensures all our planning meets your expectations and perfects the positioning, length, height and width of the veneers.

From this point on we prepare your teeth with a minimally invasive technique and send instructions to our lab using accurate digital scanning. To fabricate our veneers, we use a Master Dental Technician who handcrafts your bespoke veneers from the highest quality materials.

How Long Will Veneers Take?

Your veneers take about 2-3 weeks for their bespoke fabrication. During this time you are already wearing your dream smile with temporary veneers. When you return, the permanent veneers are bonded to your teeth using the highest-grade bonding system (adhesive resin).
