Veneers are the ideal cosmetic solution for anyone who desires a beautiful smile with minimal invasions into their teeth. Our dentists at Clifton Family Dental provide both composite and porcelain veneer treatments to suit our patients’ individual needs.
Dental veneers can improve your facial appearance as well as your smile by covering your natural teeth with a very thin tooth-shaped layer of porcelain or composite resin. They can be applied to one or multiple teeth and offer long-lasting results. Veneers can be used to change the shape, size, colour and symmetry of your teeth so that you can have a natural, healthy-looking smile and a boost in confidence.
As the name suggests, this type of veneer is made from porcelain. It is a wonderful material that is naturally stain-resistant and extremely durable. The colour, size and shape can be customised to match your preferences. Porcelain veneers can last between 10 and 12 years before needing to be replaced.
Composite veneers are made from a composite resin material that is commonly used in dental restorations including fillings. They are the less costly alternative to porcelain veneers that still produces beautiful results. They can also be customised in colour, size and shape. Composite veneers can last between 4 to 8 years before needing to be replaced.
Veneers can be used to treat a number of different aesthetic concerns affecting one or more teeth. Some of the most common dental concerns that can be corrected with veneers are:
It is possible to get veneers for crooked teeth if it is only minor misalignment. In more severe cases, dentists will recommend orthodontic treatment.

Porcelain veneers generally last 10-12 years while composite veneers tend to last 4-8 years before needing replacement. To prolong the life of dental veneers, patients should maintain good dental hygiene and oral care. This includes regular brushing and flossing, avoiding tobacco use, wearing a mouthguard when playing sports and keeping up with regular dental check-ups.
A full set of veneers typically includes 6-10 veneers to cover the front, most prominent teeth. The number of veneers used depends on the condition of the patient’s teeth and their individual aesthetic concerns.
Veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure and are generally not covered by Medicare. An exception may be made in cases where veneers are deemed a medical emergency. In these rare instances, Medicare may partially cover part of the veneers costs.
