What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that attach to the front surface of your teeth. They can be used to change the shape, size or colour of one or more teeth. Veneers are commonly chosen to address issues such as discolouration, small chips, uneven edges or gaps.
At our Yarraville dental clinic, every veneer treatment is planned with careful attention to your dental health and facial balance. We’ll explain the process clearly so you know what to expect at every step.
Why People Choose Veneers
People choose veneers for many reasons. Some want to improve symmetry, while others simply want their teeth to appear more even. Veneers may also help restore the look of worn enamel or minor surface damage.
However, they aren’t suitable for everyone. During your initial consultation, we will discuss the changes you wish to make, carefully assess your suitability and offer options along with important considerations and potential risks individual to your circumstances.
Porcelain vs Composite Veneers
We offer two types of veneers: porcelain veneers and composite veneers, each suited to different needs and budgets.
Porcelain Veneers
- Made from durable ceramic material that resists stains
- Custom-made in a dental lab for a natural finish
- Usually last 10 to 15 years with good care
- Fitted over two visits (preparation and placement)
Composite Veneers
- Made from tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the teeth
- Usually completed in one visit
- Cheaper alternative to porcelain veneers but need change every 5–7 years
- Popular for minor cosmetic improvements or chipped tooth treatment

We’ll talk through both materials and help you decide what best suits your situation. Porcelain veneers may be better for long-term durability, while composite veneers can offer a quicker and more affordable result.
The Veneer Treatment Process
Every smile is different, but the process usually involves these steps:
We’ll discuss what you’d like to change and assess your oral health. Photos or scans help us plan how veneers can change the appearance of your teeth.
We’ll outline your treatment plan and show you a preview before starting.Â
For porcelain veneers, a thin layer of enamel is reshaped before taking impressions. The veneers are then custom-made in a lab and bonded in place.
For composite veneers, resin is applied and shaped directly on your teeth in one visit.
With proper brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, veneers can stay looking their best for years. We’ll equip you with post-treatment care and maintenance instruction.

Cost of Veneers in Yarraville
The cost of veneers depends on how many teeth are treated, the material used and your specific dental needs. Porcelain veneers generally cost more than composite veneers, as they are lab-made and longer lasting.
Because veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, private health funds may only cover part of the cost if treatment is medically necessary, such as repairing a damaged tooth after trauma or decay. We’ll give you a clear quote before starting and help you understand any rebates.
We also offer flexible payment options:
- On-the-spot claims for all health fund members
- Payment plans through Denticare (for eligible patients)
- Pay in instalments during your each visit
