Ceramic Veneers

Enhancing your smile with art and precision

Dental veneers, often called laminates, are wafter-thin custom-made shells of tooth coloured dental materials designed to cover the front surface of the tooth. Made form ceramic or resin composite materials, veneers are often used to improve the appearance of a tooth or to prevent the tooth’s surface from damage.

These shells are then bonded to the front of the tooth and can be colour matched to the other teeth, as well as adjusting the shape and size. Ceramic veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.

For a smile makeover that lasts, it’s important to visit your cosmetic dentist and consider the options from master ceramists in ceramic crowns, veneer procedures and thin shells for root canal treatments. With the right care, you can have a beautiful, natural-looking smile that will last.

Why should I see a prosthodontist?2026-05-05T20:19:39+10:00

A prosthodontist is a specialist who is registered with the Dental Board of Australia in the field of prosthodontics. They undergo a minimum of three years of full-time advanced training, allowing them to treat complex and difficult cases where your general dentist cannot. The primary roles of a prosthodontist are to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients who have lost their teeth or require advance care in oral restorative work. Their services include provision of dentures, veneers, dental implants, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and much more.

Differences between prosthodontist and cosmetic dentist2026-05-05T20:20:05+10:00

Since “cosmetic dentistry” is not a recognised dental specialty, a “cosmetic dentist” is a layperson’s description of a general dentist who offers treatments focussed on enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. A prosthodontist is an effective cosmetic dentist possessing advanced expertise and an appropriate educational background in this field.

A prosthodontist also has the requisite skills to coordinate and administer a full mouth reconstruction involving coordination of multiple treatments and different specialties. As the title suggests, prosthodontists further specialise in creating natural and life-like prosthetic devices to replace your missing teeth.
