What is Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made coverings placed over the front of your teeth to enhance their colour, shape and symmetry. At Clifton Family Dental, we offer both Composite Veneers and Porcelain Veneers, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs, goals and budget.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells crafted from strong, glass-ceramic material. They are highly durable, naturally stain-resistant and beautifully mimic the translucency and shine of real enamel.
Each veneer is individually designed to suit your face and smile, with the shade, shape and length customised to your preferences. With good care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or more before needing to be replaced.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are created from tooth-coloured resin, the same material often used for white fillings. They provide a more cost-effective alternative to porcelain while still delivering a noticeable cosmetic improvement.
With proper maintenance, composite veneers usually last around 4–8 years before they may need refreshing or replacement.
How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?
Getting veneers at Clifton Family Dental is usually done in just a few visits and is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Composite veneers can often be completed in one visit, while porcelain veneers are done over two appointments.

FAQs – Dental Veneers at Clifton Family Dental
Surely, you can find the best answers to common concerns about our clinic and the treatments available.
How long do porcelain and composite veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are very strong and, with good care, usually last around 10–15 years or more. Composite veneers generally last about 4–8 years before they may need refreshing or replacing.
You can help your veneers last longer by brushing and flossing daily, avoiding smoking, not chewing hard objects (like ice or pens), wearing a mouthguard for sport and keeping up with regular check-ups at Clifton Family Dental.
How many veneers do I need for a full smile makeover?
It depends on your smile and your goals.
A typical smile makeover involves 6–10 veneers on the upper front teeth, as these are the teeth most visible when you talk and smile. Some patients only need 1–4 veneers to improve specific teeth, while others may benefit from more. Your dentist will discuss the best number of veneers after examining your teeth and chatting about the result you’d like.
Are veneers covered by Medicare or health funds?
Veneers are considered a cosmetic dental treatment, so they are not usually covered by Medicare. In rare situations where there is a clear medical need, limited benefits may apply, but this is uncommon.
Some private health funds may provide a rebate under major dental, depending on your level of cover and waiting periods. Our team can help you check your benefits and provide a quote before you start treatment.
What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers
- Made in a dental lab from strong ceramic
- Highly stain-resistant and very natural-looking
- Longer lasting (around 10–15+ years)
Composite veneers
- Built directly on the tooth with tooth-coloured resin
- Usually completed in one visit
- More affordable, but shorter lifespan (around 4–8 years)
Your dentist will recommend the option that best suits your budget, lifestyle and cosmetic goals.
Will getting veneers damage my teeth?
Veneers require minimal preparation of your natural teeth. A thin layer of enamel is gently smoothed to allow the veneer to sit naturally and bond securely. When done properly, this is safe and should not harm the health of your teeth.
Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are still essential to keep the teeth under your veneers healthy.
Is the veneer procedure painful?
Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the process is. Local anaesthetic is used when needed so you shouldn’t feel pain, only some pressure or vibration. You may feel mild sensitivity for a short time after your appointments, which usually settles quickly and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if required.
How much do veneers cost?
Veneer costs vary depending on whether you choose composite or porcelain, how many teeth are treated and any preparation needed beforehand. After your examination, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote and discuss all costs with you upfront.
We also offer flexible, interest-free payment options to help spread the investment in your new smile.
