Dental veneers are a cosmetic dental option that may help improve the appearance of teeth.
They are used across a range of cosmetic dental treatments to address teeth that are out of position or discoloured, and may also offer some protection for teeth that are chipped, cracked or worn.
When you come to Pitt Street Dental Centre in Sydney, our experienced team will work with you to discuss whether veneers may be a suitable option for your situation.
Dental Veneers Technology
Dental veneers are thin dental restorations custom-made for individual teeth. They look and feel like natural teeth and are placed onto the front surface of the tooth. Because they cover the front of the tooth, they can also add some strength and resilience to mildly damaged teeth and may help prevent further damage.
Veneers are made with either resin composite or porcelain. Porcelain veneers are a popular choice among patients because of their natural appearance and durability. We customise each veneer to complement the shape of your other teeth while addressing the appearance of the tooth being treated. They are often considered for a tooth that is too short or discoloured, and may be worth discussing when one or two teeth are out of position or crooked.
Who Are Dental Veneers Suitable For?
Dental veneers may be an option for suitable patients looking to address the appearance of their smile. Teeth can become discoloured due to trauma or certain medications, while accidents can cause chipped, broken or cracked teeth.
Over time, teeth can also begin to look more yellow or worn. Stress-related teeth grinding can prematurely wear teeth down or crack them, which can affect the overall appearance of a smile.
If you are considering options to address your smile, dental veneers may be worth discussing with our team. The following are common concerns that veneers may be used to address:
Teeth that are slightly crooked or out of position
Discoloured teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Misshapen teeth
Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Veneers
Both porcelain and composite resin are options for dental veneers and may be used to address the appearance of your smile. There are differences between the two, and the most suitable option will be discussed between you and your dentist following a thorough assessment.
Porcelain veneers are the most commonly chosen type of veneer. Porcelain is a ceramic material and porcelain veneers are crafted by skilled local ceramists with close attention to quality. Getting dental veneers typically requires two appointments. During the first visit, your teeth will be cleaned and prepared and an impression taken, which is used to custom create your veneer. Once completed, you will return for a second appointment to have the veneer placed. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and stain resistance.
Composite veneers are created by applying a material directly to the surface of your tooth. The dentist sculpts it into the desired shape and sets it using a light activation system. While composite veneers are generally not as long lasting as porcelain veneers, they are a cost-efficient option that can be completed in a single visit.

A tailored approach to addressing the appearance of your smile
When you visit Pitt Street Dental Centre in Sydney, we begin with a thorough consultation, examination and evaluation to ensure there are no underlying concerns. We can discuss whether dental veneers may be appropriate for your situation and, if relevant, outline other options as well.
To begin the process, we take x-rays, photos, videos and 3D scans, as well as any other data required to create your veneers. We work to ensure each patient receives treatment tailored to their individual needs and circumstances.
Risks & Recovery
Dental veneers are a common restorative option, but as with any procedure, there are risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks may include:
- Temporary tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold
- Minor gum irritation following placement
- Veneer fracture or chipping if exposed to excessive biting forces
- Veneers may need adjustment or replacement over time
Recovery considerations:
- Many patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment
- Mild sensitivity may last for a few days and usually settles quickly
- Good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like nail biting or teeth grinding can extend the lifespan of veneers
