FAQs
Is getting veneers painful?
Local anaesthetic is used where needed to ensure you're completely comfortable throughout the appointment. Most patients tell us the process feels far calmer and more considered than they expected — particularly given the digital scanning and comfort measures used throughout.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers are designed to be a long-term investment in your smile. Longevity varies from patient to patient depending on individual habits and care, and Dr Healy will discuss what's realistic for your specific case at your consultation.
Will my veneers look natural, or will they look like I've ‘had work done’?
Every set of veneers is custom designed to match your natural tooth shade and shaped to suit your face. The goal is always a result that looks like the smile you would have had all along — refined, not obviously cosmetic.
Can veneers fix gaps and uneven teeth, or just colour?
Porcelain veneers can address a range of concerns including discolouration, chips, gaps, and shape — often in a single, considered treatment plan. Whether veneers are the right option for your specific concerns will be properly assessed during your consultation.
How long does the whole process take from start to finish?
Timelines vary depending on your individual treatment plan, but everything is clearly communicated from your very first visit — you'll know exactly what to expect, and how long it will realistically take, before you commit to anything.
Can I use my health fund for veneers?
Cosmetic treatments like veneers may attract a partial health fund rebate depending on your level of cover. We recommend checking with your fund directly, and our team can provide the relevant item codes to help you confirm your entitlements.
