What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured layers made from porcelain or composite resin that are carefully applied to the front surface of teeth. These custom-made shells can address various cosmetic concerns whilst maintaining the natural structure of your teeth.
Veneers may help with:
- Gaps between teeth
- Stains and discolouration
- Minor chips or damage
- Slight crowding issues
- Irregular tooth shapes
- Minor alignment concerns
Our Sunshine Coast dental team will assess your individual situation during consultation to determine whether veneers are suitable for your specific needs.
Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Veneers
Understanding the differences between veneer types helps you make an informed decision about your treatment.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are crafted from high-quality ceramic material that closely mimics natural tooth enamel. These veneers typically:
- Provide a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with existing teeth
- Offer resistance to staining from coffee, tea, and other substances
- Generally last approximately 10 years or longer with proper care
- Require replacement of the entire veneer if damage occurs
Composite Resin Veneers
Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin material and offer several advantages:
- It can often be applied in a single appointment
- Allow for repairs if minor chips or cracks occur
- Generally cost less than porcelain alternatives
- May require replacement sooner than porcelain veneers
During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option may be most suitable based on your individual
The Veneer Process at Currey & Jorgensen
Our veneer treatment follows a careful, step-by-step approach:
Initial Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your teeth and discuss your goals. This includes examining your oral health, discussing treatment options, and explaining what you can expect from the process.
Treatment Planning
If veneers are deemed suitable, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan. This may include taking impressions or digital scans of your teeth to ensure a precise fitting.
Preparation
For porcelain veneers, a small amount of tooth enamel may need to be removed to accommodate the veneer thickness. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent ones are being crafted.
Application
Once your custom veneers are ready, we’ll carefully check the fit and appearance before permanently bonding them to your teeth using specialised dental cement.
Follow-up Care
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your veneers and ensure you’re comfortable with your new smile.
Caring for Your Veneers
Proper care helps extend the lifespan of your veneers:
- Maintain regular brushing and flossing routines
- Attend scheduled dental check-ups and cleanings
- Avoid using teeth as tools (opening packages, cracking nuts)
- Consider wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Be mindful when eating particularly hard foods
Regular dental visits allow us to monitor your veneers and address any concerns early.

In addition to veneers, our Sunshine Coast practice offers comprehensive cosmetic dentistry treatments:

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
How long do veneers typically last?
Porcelain veneers generally last about 10 years or longer with proper care, whilst composite veneers may need replacement sooner. The lifespan depends on factors including oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental maintenance.
Are veneers suitable for everyone?
Veneers work well for many cosmetic concerns, but they’re not suitable for all situations. During consultation, we’ll assess your oral health, tooth structure, and specific concerns to determine if veneers are appropriate for you.
What’s involved in veneer maintenance?
Veneers require similar care to natural teeth – regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoiding hard foods and not using teeth as tools helps prevent damage. We may recommend a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Can veneers be repaired if damaged?
Composite veneers can often be repaired if they chip or crack. Porcelain veneers typically require complete replacement if significantly damaged, which is why proper care is important.
How much do veneers cost? Veneer costs vary based on the type chosen, number needed, and individual treatment requirements. We’ll provide detailed cost information during your consultation after assessing your specific needs.
Will I need time off work after getting veneers? Most patients return to normal activities immediately after veneer placement. Some may experience minor sensitivity initially, but this typically resolves quickly. We’ll discuss what to expect during your consultation.
