What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells made from premium ceramic material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Designed to enhance both function and appearance, they’re a long-lasting solution for improving common cosmetic concerns such as discolouration, chips, minor misalignment, and gaps. Known for their natural translucency and strength, porcelain veneers offer a beautifully lifelike finish that blends seamlessly with your smile.

What Qualifies a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Determining whether you’re an ideal candidate for porcelain veneers involves several factors, primarily focusing on the current health and condition of your teeth and gums and your overall dental and cosmetic goals.
Below are some considerations to better understand what makes a good candidate for this transformative dental procedure.
If you’re considering porcelain veneers, the first step is a comprehensive consultation at Perth City Dental.
Our experts will assess your suitability for veneers, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the best course of action to achieve the radiant smile you desire.
Dental Health
Healthy Teeth: Your teeth should be generally healthy without active decay. Minor issues can often be treated before veneer application, but extensive decay or weakened teeth might necessitate alternative treatments.
Gum Health: Healthy gums are crucial for the success of veneers. Gum disease must be treated and managed before veneer installation to ensure the longevity and stability of the cosmetic enhancement.
Tooth Enamel: Adequate enamel is necessary because the veneer process involves etching the tooth’s surface for bonding. Teeth with significant enamel loss might not be suitable for veneers.
Cosmetic Dentistry Concerns
Aesthetic Improvements: Veneers are ideal for correcting aesthetic issues such as discolouration that can’t be fixed with teeth whitening, minor misalignments, gaps between teeth, chips, and irregularly shaped or crooked teeth.
The desire for a Durable Solution: Candidates should seek a long-lasting solution to cosmetic concerns. Porcelain veneers are durable and can last many years with proper care, making them a significant but worthwhile investment.
Oral Habits and Conditions
No Bruxism: Candidates should not have severe bruxism (teeth grinding) or be willing to wear a protective guard at night. Grinding can damage your dental veneer, just as it can natural teeth.
Commitment to Oral Hygiene: A good candidate is committed to maintaining excellent oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to the longevity of porcelain veneers.
Additional Considerations
Previous Dental Work: Existing dental work, such as crowns or large fillings, may affect the suitability of veneers. Your dentist will evaluate your dental history to determine the best approach.
Age: Candidates should have fully matured teeth; therefore, veneers are usually not recommended for young patients.
Overall Health and Expectations
Good General Health: Overall health impacts dental treatments. Conditions that affect healing or dental procedures should be discussed during your consultation.
Realistic Expectations: Understanding the process, outcomes, and limitations of veneers is crucial. A good candidate has realistic expectations about the results veneers can achieve.
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
Because porcelain is so strong and durable, the chances of it staining or chipping are very low. The glaze that is applied after application reinforces this strength too.
While some dentists may warn you to change your diet due to the porous nature of composite resin that can stain, porcelain does not require this change in lifestyle as it does not stain easily.
Many people believe porcelain veneers are destructive of a tooth’s structure but in actual fact, they are very thin and are prepared and applied much like acrylic nails. Their strength comes from the underlying enamel structure, which means the less the tooth is prepared, often the stronger the veneer becomes after it has been bonded to the teeth.
Porcelain is a more permanent veneer option, and we work with our patients to ensure great results with minimally invasive techniques. We even give our patients the chance to see what they would look like with veneers using a carefully crafted mock-up from a cast model of their teeth and placing temporary dental veneers in their mouth BEFORE they opt to go ahead with the porcelain veneer treatment.
Our Signature Porcelain Veneer Process
Your Comprehensive Smile Consultation
We begin with an in-depth conversation about your goals, concerns, and vision for your ideal smile. Together, we map out a personalised cosmetic treatment plan tailored to your features, lifestyle, and expectations.
Foundation & Preparation
Before veneers, we ensure your teeth and gums are in optimal health. This may include hygiene treatments or whitening to provide the perfect canvas and precise colour matching for your veneers.
Smile Design
Using advanced digital scans and high-resolution photography, we analyse your bite, facial proportions, and symmetry. Our cosmetic dentists then design your custom porcelain veneers with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring a natural, balanced, and flattering result.
Design Preview & Temporaries
This is your sneak peek. We fit temporary veneers so you can see, feel, and test-drive your new smile—smiling, speaking, eating, and laughing naturally. You'll provide feedback, and we'll fine-tune everything to ensure you're 100% confident before final placement.
Your New Smile Revealed
Your custom-crafted porcelain veneers are permanently bonded in place with expert precision. We'll also complete any other dental treatments you may need (e.g. fillings or crowns) to ensure your oral health is complete.
Long-Term Smile Care
To protect your new smile, we'll fit a custom night guard (if needed) and review your bite to prevent grinding or wear. You'll also meet with our Oral Health Therapist to learn how to care for your veneers long term and keep your smile radiant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers are considered a long-term solution, lasting 10-15 years with proper care, but they may eventually need to be replaced.
High-quality porcelain veneers resist staining, maintaining their colour and brightness like natural teeth.
Bonded veneers refer to adhering the porcelain veneer to the tooth surface, creating a durable and stable bond.
The process usually requires two to three visits over a few weeks, from consultation to final application.
The risks are minimal, but they can include sensitivity to temperature and the potential for veneers to chip or detach, which your dentist can address.
Maintain your veneers with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoid using your teeth as tools or biting into very hard foods.
A minimal amount of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer, far less than with other procedures like crowns, preserving the integrity of your natural tooth.
