Porcelain Veneers in Melbourne
Porcelain dental veneers are thin layers of tooth coloured material that are placed over natural teeth in order to improve their appearance. At V Care Dental, we’re proud to offer porcelain veneers for Melbourne clients who visit our Patterson Lakes dental clinic. We pride ourselves on making people feel happier with their smile and more confident around others.
Common uses for porcelain veneers include masking the appearance of stained teeth, filling in spaces between teeth, straightening teeth that are misaligned, and covering damaged or broken teeth that have been affected by trauma or decay. Key benefits include durability, a natural appearance and long-lasting results.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are custom-made, ultra-thin shells that adhere to the front surface of teeth, enhancing their shape, colour and alignment. Made from high-quality dental porcelain, they mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, offering a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. Dental veneers porcelain options are commonly used to address issues such as discolouration, gaps or uneven spaces between teeth, chipped or worn-down teeth, and irregularly shaped or uneven teeth.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers provide a range of advantages, including:
- Creates a whiter, more uniform smile that looks and feels natural
- Made from high-quality materials that are long-lasting and resistant to stains
