How the Process Works
From consultation to final polish, most patients finish in a single 5–7 day trip.
Day 1
Consultation + DSD Preview
Clinical photos are taken and run through Digital Smile Design software. You see your result on screen before any tooth is touched. Request changes until you are happy.
Day 1–2
Preparation + Temporaries
0.3–0.5mm of enamel is removed from each tooth. Impressions or digital scans are taken and sent to the in-house lab. Temporary veneers are bonded so you leave looking great.
Day 2–3
Lab Crafts Your Veneers
The in-house lab hand-crafts each e.max veneer to match the DSD plan. 48–72 hour turnaround. Colour and translucency are verified against the preview before the appointment.
Day 4–5
Bond, Check, Polish
Permanent veneers are bonded with dental cement. Bite is checked and refined. Final polishing session. Most patients leave with photos taken in-clinic the same afternoon.
Veneers vs Composite vs Whitening
Not everyone needs porcelain veneers. Use this guide to choose the right treatment.
Choose veneers if:
- + 4 or more teeth need reshaping, colour or spacing correction
- + Permanently stained or tetracycline-affected teeth
- + Chipped, worn or slightly uneven teeth
- + You want a result that lasts 15–20 years
Choose composite bonding if:
- + 1–3 small chips or minor shape issues
- + Budget is under A$1,000 total
- + You want a reversible, single-visit fix
- + Testing a new smile shape before porcelain
Choose whitening if:
- + Teeth are a healthy shape with no chips
- + Only issue is surface colour or staining
- + Budget is under A$300
- + You are maintaining an existing cosmetic result
What Veneers Cannot Do
We believe in honest information. Here is what you should know before deciding.
- !Veneers are irreversible. A thin layer of enamel is permanently removed during preparation. This cannot be undone.
- !Bruxism risk. Grinding can crack porcelain veneers. Patients with bruxism should use a night guard and consider zirconia instead of e.max.
- !Severe misalignment. Veneers will not straighten significantly crooked teeth. Invisalign or orthodontic treatment should come first.
- !They need replacing. Even high-quality e.max veneers need replacing after 15–20 years. Factor this into your long-term planning.
