Porcelain Veneer
Few of us are born with perfect teeth, and even fewer manage to keep them in perfect condition. Life presents many opportunities for wear and tear, resulting in teeth that are stained, chipped and crooked.
One of the most effective ways to get the smile you have always dreamed of is porcelain veneers.
The latest technology allows them to be made lens-thin and from materials that almost perfectly match the translucent appearance of a natural tooth.
Are Porcelain Veneers for Me?
Although you may envy a particular smile and want to achieve a certain tooth shape through the use of porcelain veneer technology, it is important to remember that tooth shape and colour is as individual as hair colour, skin tone and face shape.
What suits one person may not suit another, so it is important to select a dentist that has an eye not only for health and technical issues, but also style and detail.
When planning smile makeovers, we consider:
- Facial measurements
- How your teeth look in a range of expressions
- X-rays and 3D images of your jaw
- Diagnostic models
This allows us to ensure that you have good oral health and helps us determine the best smile makeover for you. Importantly, it also allows us to present your options to you visually, ensuring that you are fully informed before making your final choice.
Cosmetic Options
Porcelain veneer technology can provide a long-term solution to:
- Gappy smiles
- Crowding
- Discolouration
- Chips
- Misshapen teeth
- Misalignment
However, you may find that one of the other options available from Churchill is more appropriate for you, either alone or in combination. For example, alternatives include:
- Invisalign – the invisible braces solution

- Gum realignment
The best way to determine what is right for you is to speak to your dentist. WA patients can book an appointment by calling (08) 9381 2881 or by contacting us online.
