We use advanced techniques to meticulously design each veneer that flawlessly complements your smile.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are meticulously crafted, custom-made shells that delicately cover the front surface of your teeth. These thin shells are typically fabricated from high-quality porcelain or composite resin and artfully bonded to your teeth using specialised dental cement. Dental Veneers improve the appearance of:
- Discoloration
- Chips and cracks
- Gaps
- Misalignment
Types of Dental Veneers We Offer
Dental veneers have become a popular cosmetic dentistry solution, offering a transformative approach to achieving a radiant smile.
As you embark on your journey to enhance your smile, understanding the types of dental veneers is crucial to making an informed decision tailored to your preferences. Here, we present the types of dental veneers at Mindarie Quinns Dental Centre.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells meticulously crafted from high-quality dental porcelain. Known for their lifelike appearance and exceptional durability, porcelain veneers offer a natural translucency that mimics the look of natural teeth. These veneers are stain-resistant, making them an excellent choice for achieving a long-lasting and radiant smile. Porcelain veneers require minimal tooth preparation and are custom-made to precisely fit each individual’s teeth, resulting in a seamless and flawless smile transformation.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured composite resin, skillfully applied to the front surface of the teeth in a direct bonding procedure. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be completed in a single dental visit, making them a more time-efficient option. While composite veneers are not as stain-resistant as porcelain, they are more easily repaired if chipped or damaged. Composite veneers offer a cost-effective alternative for individuals seeking an immediate cosmetic improvement and can be a great solution for minor cosmetic issues.
How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost In Perth?
The cost of dental veneers in Perth starts from $500. The cost can fluctuate due to several factors, including the intricacy of the desired outcome and the type of veneer chosen.
Generally, applying veneers involves 6–8 teeth, but the total cost can increase if the lower teeth are also included
| Type of Dental Veneer | Dental Veneers Cost Per Tooth |
| Porcelain Veneers | $1,900 |
| Composite Veneers | $500 |
| Set of 10 (to cover smile) | $5,000 |
The Veneer Placement Process
Getting dental veneers can be a significant decision, and we understand that it may feel overwhelming. Rest assured, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Initial Consultation
Your journey to a stunning smile begins with an initial consultation with your dentist at Mindarie Quinns Dental Centre. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your cosmetic goals, dental concerns, and desired out come. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, examine your teeth, and determine if dental veneers are the right solution for you.
Treatment Planning
After determining that dental veneers are suitable for your needs, your dentist will create a personalised treatment plan. This plan involves selecting the type of veneers (porcelain or composite) and shade to achieve your desired results.
Treatment Preparation
To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel (usually less than a millimeter) will be carefully removed from the front surface of the teeth. This ensures a proper fit and allows the veneers to sit seamlessly in line with your original teeth.
Impressions
Your dentist will take detailed impressions of your prepared teeth. These impressions serve as a blueprint for creating custom-made veneers that precisely fit the contours of your teeth and complement your smile.
Temporary Veneers (if applicable)
If porcelain veneers are chosen, temporary veneers may be placed on your teeth while the permanent veneers are being fabricated in the dental laboratory. Composite veneers can often be applied in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary restorations.
Veneers Fabrication
For porcelain veneers, skilled dental technicians will meticulously craft your custom veneers in the dental laboratory. The process typically takes a few weeks. Meanwhile, composite veneers are directly fabricated and bonded to your teeth during the same dental appointment.
Veneers Bonding
Once your veneers are ready, your dentist will carefully bond them to your teeth using dental cement. The cement ensures a strong and long-lasting bond between the veneers and your teeth.
Final Adjustments
After bonding the veneers, your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite. This step ensures your new smile looks and feels natural.

Before and after of Dental Veneers
Veneers FAQs
Can veneers help improve the appearance of my smile?
Yes. Veneers may improve the appearance of teeth affected by discolouration, chips, small gaps, uneven edges or minor shape concerns. Each veneer is designed to suit your teeth, facial features and smile. Your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss whether veneers are suitable for your needs.
How long can I expect my porcelain veneers to last?
Porcelain veneers are quite durable and, with the right care, can serve you well for 10-15 years or even longer. Composite veneers tend to last 7-8 years. The key to their longevity lies in your oral hygiene routine and regular dental check-ups. Good dental habits can significantly extend the lifespan of your veneers.
Are dental veneers painful to apply?
Veneer treatment is performed with steps to support your comfort. Local anaesthetic is used when clinically appropriate. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity or discomfort after treatment. Your dentist will explain what to expect and recommend suitable pain relief based on your individual needs.
Can I eat normally with dental veneers?
Once your veneers are fully set, you should be able to eat and drink as usual. However, we recommend avoiding hard and sticky foods to prevent any possible damage to your veneers.
Do dental veneers require special care?
Dental veneers don’t require any special care beyond good oral hygiene practices. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups will keep your veneers in top shape.
Will dental veneers stain over time?
While composite veneers may stain more quickly over time, the porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining. However, the cement used to bond them can stain, especially if you consume a lot of coffee, tea, or red wine. Regular professional cleanings can help maintain their brightness.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can’t correct severely crooked teeth or misalignments, but they can be a great solution for minor cosmetic adjustments. They can improve the appearance of slightly crooked or gapped teeth by creating an illusion of straightness and alignment.
