Porcelain Veneers
Smile Like a Star: Transform Your Look with Veneers
A bright, beautiful smile can brighten your day and those around you. However, cosmetic dental concerns can affect your self-confidence in social circumstances.
Veneers are custom-made shells bonded to the surface of your teeth. They are designed to look like natural teeth while improving in size, shape and colour. They can also conceal crooked, gapped, stained or discoloured teeth.
Veneers are thin and durable and, in most cases, do not require permanent grinding of healthy teeth to create space. At Woden Dental Centre, the best dental clinic in Canberra, we offer high-grade porcelain veneers that can cover up most types of tooth damage and – if properly cared for – can last up to 25 years.
Revamp your smile with Woden Dental Centre’s porcelain veneers, expertly crafted to look natural and stunning and give you the confidence to flaunt your dream smile.

Our Protocol For Porcelain Teeth Procedure
Our clinic is dedicated to refurbishing your smile with top-quality porcelain veneers. Here’s an inside look at how we prioritise precision and personalised care to perfect your smile:
Dental Assessment
The first step is thoroughly examining your teeth to evaluate your oral health and dental requirements. Based on these details, our dentists will determine the most appropriate course of action.
Tooth Preparation & Impressions
Our dentists will begin the next appointment by shaving each tooth back and making an impression, which will then be sent to a dental lab. In the meantime, you will receive a pair of temporary veneers.
Preparation for Bonding
Our dentists prepare your porcelain teeth by cleaning, etching, and polishing them, which helps strengthen the bonding process.
Veneer Placement & Bonding
The veneers will then be placed onto your teeth using dental cement and, once in the correct position, photopolymerised. To ensure they are fully bonded, a light beam will activate chemicals in the cement to make it harden.

How to Care For Your Porcelain Veneers
The durability and functionality of your porcelain veneers depend on how well you care for them post-procedure. You should:
- Brush and floss twice daily to flush out food particles and keep your veneers clean.
- Use a non-abrasive toothbrush to avoid getting any scratches on the surface of your veneers.
- Avoid hard-boiled candy, ice cubes, and sticky sweets, which can damage your veneers. Opt for softer foods instead.
- Use a mouthguard to protect your veneers from persistent teeth grinding or when participating in contact sports.
- Limit your intake of caffeine, red wine and other foods that may stain your porcelain teeth. If you do consume these, rinse your mouth with water afterwards.
- Make sure to schedule regular appointments with your dentist for check-ups and professional cleanings. This will help maintain the excellent condition of your veneers and enable your dentist to promptly deal with any potential issues.
Know More About Porcelain Veneers
Are dental veneers permanent?
Dental veneers last long, but they are not permanent. Composite veneers last five to seven years, and porcelain veneers last 10-15 years. Furthermore, the durability of composite veneers depends on the amount of composite used to secure them. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are considered irreversible because a layer of the tooth enamel is removed during the procedure.
Is it possible for porcelain veneers to become stained over time?
Generally, porcelain veneers are resistant to staining. However, excessive caffeine and red wine consumption may cause teeth to discolour. Regular brushing and dental cleanings can help maintain their bright appearance.
What are the maintenance measures to follow for porcelain veneers?
To maintain the durability and appearance of your porcelain veneers, all you need to do is:
- Brush and floss regularly.
- Get routine dental check-ups.s
- Opt for professional dental cleaning on a regular basis.
These measures will help maintain your veneers in optimal condition.
