Porcelain Veneers Adelaide
Have you been admiring the flawless smiles of Hollywood greats and dreaming for the same dental makeover? If so, porcelain veneers are the perfect treatment to conceal cosmetic concerns including chipped, misshaped or damaged teeth, and much more. Coast Dental in South Adelaide offers their patients porcelain veneers with ground-breaking CEREC technology. This revolutionary dental technology takes digital impressions of your teeth for the most accurate results, at the convenience of a single appointment.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a long-term cosmetic dentistry solution to aesthetic dental concerns. This treatment involves custom-made, porcelain shells designed to perfectly fit each individual tooth. This advanced dental treatment is prepared with strong and durable material that replicates the natural tooth’s enamel.
CEREC Technology
The CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology produces optimal porcelain restorations with the advantage of a digital impression to ensure accurate mouldings. Traditional veneers require multiple visits for the moulds, temporary veneers and laboratory time. With the digital impressions, a block of ceramic is placed in the CEREC milling machine and your restorations are created in an hour. CEREC porcelain veneers are completed in one appointment and require no irritating temporaries.
Porcelain veneers: the procedure
Without enduring months of braces, enjoy perfect teeth with porcelain veneers. This procedure would be carried out as follows:
- A patient interested in porcelain veneers will begin their dental restorative journey with a consultation. A dental professional at Coast Dental will determine if porcelain veneers are the best restorative option for you. During your consultation, our practitioner will take you through the treatment process, including the pros and the cons of veneers, as well as the aftercare. We want you to be well-informed so this is the time to answer any questions you may have.
- Once you have thought deeply about your options and made the decision to go through with the procedure, a Coast Dental practitioner can begin the restoration.
- We will begin by removing a layer of the enamel from the selected tooth or teeth to fit the porcelain veneer caps.
- A block of ceramic is placed in the CEREC milling machine to create a digital impression of the restoration veneers. Once completed, our dental professional can begin to carefully bond the shells in place.
- Once the final stages are completed and you are happy with the appearance, you can now enjoy the functionality and aesthetics of your new porcelain veneers.
- Before your follow-up appointment, our representative dentist will explain caring for your veneers, as if they were natural teeth. You are now free to show off your flawless smile.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
To answer this question is not simple as there is a range of variables involved that requires an individual assessment of each patient’s teeth. Taking this into consideration, the cost of porcelain veneers will vary with each person. The price range for a single porcelain veneer can range from $600 – $2000, depending on each individual’s dental concerns. As Coast Dental seeks to provide the most authentic and finest porcelain veneers using CEREC technology, prices can be higher than a practice using a traditional moulding system. However, the price for the quality of a CEREC impression will play a large factor in the final result of your porcelain veneer restoration.
