Get your perfect smile with Porcelain Veneers
Treatments can range from just one veneer to change the appearance of a single tooth, to an entire smile. To achieve a beautiful result, you need to see a dentist who pays attention to detail that will ensure everything looks natural and not fake. Dr Kimberly Ivett is passionate about cosmetic dentistry, and she truly excels in veneers.
At Avant Garde Dental, we make Emax porcelain veneers, which mimic the appearance of youthful, natural teeth. Ceramic porcelain is aesthetically beautiful and superior in quality, offering you a great long-term solution for your new smile.
Emax has been in the cosmetic dental industry for decades and studies have shown that this ceramic porcelain is the highest quality material to produce the best results.
We support local great Australian dental technicians and do not believe in outsourcing our veneers or crowns to overseas, poorly regulated alternatives.
DISCOLOURED/STAINED
Smoking, coffee, and age can leave you with unsightly yellow or brown teeth. Veneers can brighten your smile instantly and resist stains for longer with their special porcelain.
GAPPY
Food and bacteria can build up between gaps, causing both health concerns and self-consciousness. Veneers can close minor gaps for a healthier, more confident you.
BROKEN/CHIPPED
Injuries, hard foods, and grinding can break or chip teeth, affecting your confidence and even causing pain. Veneers can restore the shape of your teeth for a natural-looking, functional smile.
OVERCROWDED
Overcrowding can trap bacteria, leading to decay and gum disease. Veneers can create the illusion of straighter teeth for mild cases. (For severe crowding, orthodontic treatment is necessary first.)
WORN-DOWN
Worn teeth can make you look older, cause sensitivity, and affect your ability to eat and drink comfortably. Veneers can restore your teeth, offering a younger look and improved functionality.
CROOKED
Genetics, bad habits, and aging can cause crooked teeth, affecting your confidence and potentially causing discomfort. Veneers can reshape your smile, creating a symmetrical and stunning look.
Our Process
Achieve a radiant, lasting smile with our comprehensive veneer process. We prioritise meticulous care and precision throughout the seven steps, ensuring a comfortable experience and natural-looking results that perfectly complement your unique smile.
Initial Consultation
Discuss your desired outcome, concerns, and medical history with the dentist. They will assess your teeth and determine if veneers are a suitable option.
X-ray & Digital Smile Design
The dentist will create a personalised treatment plan. This might involve:
- X-rays and Impressions: Capturing detailed images of your teeth and jaw structure for accurate veneer design.
- Digital Smile Design: Utilising software to virtually preview your potential smile with veneers.
Shade Selection
Collaborate with the dentist to choose the ideal colour and shade for your veneers, aiming for a natural and aesthetically pleasing match.
Temporary Veneers
Temporary veneers might be placed on your prepared teeth while the permanent ones are being fabricated in a dental lab. This protects your teeth and allows you to adjust to the feel of veneers.
Veneer Placement
The dentist thoroughly cleans and prepares the tooth surface. A special dental cement is applied, and the veneer is meticulously positioned and secured using a light source to activate the bonding agent.
Aftercare
The dentist will provide specific instructions on maintaining your veneers, including proper brushing, flossing, and avoiding habits that could damage them
Regular Dental Checkups
Scheduling regular dental cleanings and checkups is crucial to ensure the longevity of your veneers and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of our most frequently asked questions regarding our porcelain veneers. Have a different question? Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
HOW MUCH FOR VENEERS?
The cost of veneers will vary depending on your individual needs and the number of teeth being treated. We will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate after an initial consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals. This consultation will also allow us to determine if veneers are the right option for you.
ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS WHAT I NEED?
Porcelain veneers are a great option for a variety of concerns, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven or misaligned teeth
- Shortened teeth
If you’re looking to achieve a dramatic smile transformation or simply want to address minor cosmetic flaws, porcelain veneers can be an excellent solution. However, during a consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and recommend the best course of treatment.
COMPOSITE VS PORCELAIN VENEERS
Veneers offer a fantastic way to achieve a bright, beautiful smile. But with two main materials to choose from – composite and porcelain – you might wonder which is right for you. While both can address concerns like chipped teeth, discolouration, or minor gaps, porcelain veneers offer several advantages:
- Longevity: Porcelain veneers are incredibly durable, lasting up to 15 years with proper care. Composite veneers typically last 5-7 years.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain is more resistant to staining from coffee, wine, and other foods, allowing your smile to stay bright and white for longer.
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, creating a stunningly realistic look.
While porcelain veneers require a slightly more involved process, their superior durability, stain resistance, and natural look make them a worthwhile investment for many patients seeking a long-lasting, beautiful smile.
HOW STRONG ARE VENEERS AND HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
Porcelain veneers are incredibly strong and durable, thanks to the high-quality materials used. With proper care, they can last for well over a decade – often 10-15 years! This makes them a worthwhile investment in your smile.
WHY DO PEOPLE CHOOSE PORCELAIN VENEERS?
There are many reasons why porcelain veneers are so popular:
- Natural-looking results: Porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, creating a beautiful, translucent appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.
- Durability: As mentioned, they are very strong and can withstand normal wear and tear.
- Stain resistance: Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining from coffee, wine, and other foods.
Versatility: Veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, from minor chips to complete smile makeovers.
HOW MUCH DO PORCELAIN VENEERS COST?
The cost of porcelain veneers depends on several factors, including the number of teeth you’re treating, and the complexity of the case. We recommend scheduling a consultation for a personalised quote. However, at Avant Garde Dentist, we strive to offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options to make your dream smile achievable.
