Dental Veneer Questions Explained
Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ section covers key topics about dental veneers. Learn what’s involved, how they’re maintained, and what to expect before and after treatment.
What types of veneers are available, and which is suitable for me?
At Redlands Gentle Dental Care, we offer two types of dental veneers. Each option is suited to different cosmetic preferences, timelines, and oral health considerations.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells made in a dental lab and bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They’re often chosen for longer-term cosmetic changes or as part of a smile makeover.
Features of porcelain veneers:
- Each veneer is individually designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth.
- They are resistant to staining and are designed to be long-lasting with routine dental care.
- Porcelain veneers are well-suited to improving discolouration, worn edges, and uneven tooth shapes.
- A thin layer of enamel is usually removed to create space for a natural fit.
- This process usually involves multiple appointments over a few weeks.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are applied chairside using tooth-coloured resin and shaped directly onto your teeth. They’re often chosen for more minor cosmetic changes.
Features of composite veneers:
- The resin is placed, shaped, and polished in a single visit.
- Composite veneers are a practical choice for managing chips, small gaps, or mild discolouration.
- Little to no enamel is removed during application.
- Over time, the surface may wear and require touch-ups to maintain its appearance.
- This option may suit patients looking for a quicker or more cost-sensitive treatment.
During your consultation, your dentist will discuss which option aligns with your oral health and aesthetic goals.
What is the procedure to get veneers?
Getting veneers involves several steps, each designed to provide a smooth and personalised experience. The process may differ slightly depending on whether you’re having porcelain or composite veneers.
- Initial consultation:
Your dentist will begin with an examination and a discussion about your goals. This includes exploring whether veneers are right for your needs or part of a smile makeover. - Treatment planning:
Digital scans or impressions of your teeth are taken for planning. Your dentist will talk you through the expected results and confirm how many veneers are recommended. - Tooth preparation:
For porcelain veneers, a thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the surface of your teeth to allow space for the veneers. Composite veneers may not require this step. - Veneer design and creation:
Porcelain veneers are custom-made by a dental technician, while composite veneers are sculpted directly onto your teeth during your visit. - Application and bonding:
Once the veneers are ready, they are carefully placed and bonded to your teeth. Your dentist will check that they fit well, look natural, and feel comfortable. - Review and follow-up:
A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to check bite alignment and make minor adjustments if needed.
Veneers are a popular option in cosmetic dentistry for improving the appearance of teeth. They require only minimal changes to the natural tooth structure.
How many appointments will I need for veneer treatment?
The number of appointments depends on the type of veneers you choose and your treatment plan.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers usually require two or more visits. The first visit includes an assessment, tooth preparation, and impressions or scans. A second visit is scheduled once your custom veneers are ready for placement. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to check the fit and comfort.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are often completed in a single visit. The resin is applied, shaped, and polished directly onto your teeth during the same appointment. In some cases, a short review visit may be suggested afterwards.
Your dentist will confirm how many visits are needed based on your smile goals, oral health, and the number of veneers planned.
How many veneers can I get?
The number of veneers you may need depends on your smile goals, dental condition, and cosmetic preferences. Some people choose one veneer to enhance a single tooth, while others include multiple veneers as part of a smile makeover.
Several factors help determine how many veneers are suitable:
- The number of teeth visible when you smile:
Veneers are typically applied to the front upper teeth that show most when smiling. - The condition of your natural teeth:
Teeth with chips, uneven edges, or long-term discolouration may benefit from veneers. - Your cosmetic goals:
If you’re aiming for a full smile makeover, you may need six to ten veneers to achieve symmetry. - Your budget and treatment plan:
The number of veneers you need can influence how much the veneers cost. Your dentist will explain all pricing details clearly during your consultation. - Any additional dental needs:
Some patients may need pre-treatment procedures (such as whitening or orthodontics), which can influence how many veneers are applied.
Your dentist will guide you through these factors to recommend a veneer treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Will getting veneers change the feel of my teeth?
You might notice a slight change in how your teeth feel immediately after veneers are placed. This is common and usually settles as you get used to them.
Veneers are designed to follow the natural shape of your teeth, so they should feel comfortable once fitted. If anything feels uneven or bothersome, your dentist can adjust it during a review visit.
Will veneers affect my gum health?
When veneers are placed carefully and fit well, they should not harm your gum health. Good technique and proper alignment help the veneers sit comfortably without irritating the gum line.
Maintaining daily oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups is important. Brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning all promote healthy gums around both natural teeth and veneers.
Can you go back to normal teeth after dental veneers?
Once dental veneers are placed, you generally cannot return to your natural teeth in their original state. This is because the process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Since enamel does not grow back, this alteration is permanent.
Here’s what you should know:
- Veneers are a long-term commitment:
If a veneer gets damaged or worn out over time, it will need to be replaced. - Your underlying teeth will always need protection:
Because the enamel has been reduced, going without veneers or another type of restoration would leave your teeth vulnerable to sensitivity and damage. - Alternatives exist:
If you’re concerned about this, you might consider no-prep veneers (like Lumineers), which require little to no enamel removal, although they aren’t suitable for everyone.
If you’re unsure whether veneers are right for you, a consultation with a dentist can help weigh your options and discuss reversible or less invasive alternatives.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with veneers?
Veneers are widely used in cosmetic dentistry, and while they are generally well-tolerated, there are a few risks or side effects to be aware of:
- Tooth sensitivity:
After enamel is removed, you may notice temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods. This usually settles with time and proper care. - Gum irritation:
Mild irritation around the gums can occur as your mouth adjusts to the new veneers. Regular oral hygiene helps reduce this. - Chipping or wear:
Veneers are strong, but they can chip or wear down if you grind your teeth or bite hard items like ice or pens. - Colour mismatch over time:
While porcelain veneers resist stains, surrounding natural teeth can still discolour, leading to a slight difference in appearance. - Replacement in the future:
Veneers are long-lasting, but they may need to be replaced after several years, depending on the material and care.
Your dentist will talk through these risks during your consultation and help determine if veneers are suitable for your needs.
How long do dental veneers last?
The lifespan of dental veneers depends on the material used, how well they are cared for, and your habits.
Porcelain veneers
These are durable and designed to last at least 10 years. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they may remain in place for 12 to 25 years.
Composite resin veneers
Composite veneers generally last between 4 and 8 years. They are well-suited to managing minor cosmetic concerns but may wear down more quickly than porcelain.
Factors that can affect how long veneers last:
- Daily care habits:
Brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental visits help maintain both veneers and the teeth underneath. - Diet and lifestyle:
Regular consumption of hard or sticky foods, or habits like nail-biting or chewing pens, can cause veneers to wear or chip sooner. - Teeth grinding or clenching:
Teeth grinding (bruxism) can shorten the lifespan of veneers. A night guard may be recommended if this is a concern. - Material choice:
Porcelain tends to be more durable and stain-resistant, while composite may need touch-ups or more frequent replacement. - Number of veneers placed:
Veneers placed as part of a smile makeover may distribute biting forces more evenly, which can support longer-lasting results.
Your dentist will recommend a veneer type suited to your goals and guide you on how to care for it over time.
Do dental veneers come off?
Dental veneers are bonded securely to the tooth surface, but in some cases, they can come loose over time. This may happen due to factors like teeth grinding, injury, or general wear, particularly with older veneers.
If a veneer does come off, it can usually be reattached or replaced. Your dentist will check the underlying tooth and recommend a suitable approach to restore the appearance and function of your smile.
Can you get cavities with veneers?
Yes, cavities can still develop in the natural tooth beneath or around a veneer. Veneers only cover the front surface of the tooth, so areas not covered remain at risk of decay.
Good oral hygiene is essential to help prevent cavities. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups help protect both your veneers and the teeth underneath. Avoiding sugary foods and drinks can also support long-term dental health.
Are dental veneers high maintenance?
Dental veneers are not considered high maintenance. They’re designed to fit into a typical oral care routine and don’t require any special daily care beyond what’s recommended for natural teeth.
When well-placed and maintained with regular check-ups, veneers can deliver long-lasting results. As part of cosmetic dentistry, they offer a low-maintenance way to enhance your smile without disrupting everyday habits.

How should I care for my veneers?
Caring for veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular oral hygiene routines and dental visits help maintain their appearance and protect the tooth underneath.
Here are some helpful habits:
- Brush your teeth twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to keep the surfaces clean.
- Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from around the veneers and between teeth.
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleans. The veneers can also be checked for any changes or wear.
- Avoid biting into hard items such as ice, pens, or fingernails, which could damage the veneers over time.
- Consider a night guard if you grind your teeth, as this can reduce stress on both veneers and natural teeth.
- Limit heavily pigmented foods and drinks such as red wine, coffee, or soy sauce to reduce the risk of staining around the veneers.
These simple habits help maintain your veneers and long-term oral health.
Can I still drink coffee, wine, or eat certain foods with veneers?
Yes, you can enjoy most foods and drinks with veneers, though it helps to be mindful of your choices. Porcelain veneers resist staining, but surrounding natural teeth and bonding materials may still discolour over time.
Hard or sticky foods should be eaten with care. Biting into hard items like ice or nuts may damage veneers. Sticky foods can place pressure on the edges where the veneer meets the tooth.
Veneers are designed to fit into your lifestyle. With regular care and attention to diet, they can remain in good condition for many years.
How much are dental veneers?
The cost of veneers depends on several factors. These include the material used, how many veneers are needed, and whether any other procedures are part of your treatment plan.
If you’re considering dental veneers in Victoria Point, porcelain veneers generally range from $1,500 to $2,300 per tooth. Composite veneers are more budget-friendly and generally cost between $550 and $1,200 per tooth.
Here’s a general guide for porcelain veneers:
- A set of four porcelain veneers generally costs around $6,000.
- For six porcelain veneers, the cost is approximately $8,750.
- Eight porcelain veneers are priced at around $11,500, which includes a $650 smile trial and a $500 night guard.
Each case is unique, so a consultation can provide a personalised quote tailored to your goals and dental health. Redlands Gentle Dental Care also offers flexible payment options to help manage your veneers’ cost with less financial stress.
