Dental Veneers Albany

Do you feel anxious about your smile? If you’ve got stained, chipped, or crooked teeth, veneers are the easiest way to transform your smile. Radiant Smiles Dental Care offers high-quality and affordable dental veneers in Albany.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain or composite resin shells placed over the front of your teeth and bonded in place. They conceal imperfections like colour differences, damage and decay, wear and tear, or even gaps between teeth, giving you a radiant smile.

Benefits of Choosing Dental Veneers

  • Less invasive than crowns: Veneers are placed on the front of the tooth as opposed to over the tooth, which means less enamel needs to be removed.
  • A cost-effective option: The cost of dental veneers in Albany can vary. However, veneers are usually more affordable than other solutions.
  • Natural-looking: Nobody will ever know! Well-made veneers look just like real teeth, and can be designed to complement your face shape.
  • Stain-resistant: Porcelain dental veneers are resistant to stains, so if you’re looking for a permanent white smile, this is it.
  • Long-lasting: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last from 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers can last for at least 5 years.

Porcelain vs Composite Dental Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the gold standard. They’re custom-crafted in a lab and offer the most natural-looking aesthetic. However, composite veneers offer their own advantages.

Here’s why our Albany prices may differ from those in Perth Metro:

  • Higher Operating Costs: Operating in non-metropolitan areas involves significantly higher expenses.
    These include increased lab fees, transportation costs for supplies, and logistical challenges to ensure timely delivery of materials. Additionally, maintaining the necessary infrastructure to power and sustain our clinic in the region further adds to the overall running costs.
  • Attracting Great Staff: We offer competitive salaries to hire and keep skilled team members and sometimes bring in specialists.
  • Fewer Patients: With fewer appointments, we spread costs over a smaller number of visits.

Those factors contribute to the elevated expenses compared to operating in metropolitan areas.

We’re committed to providing top-notch care no matter where you are!

Every patient’s dental needs are unique. While our website offers estimated prices for guidance, we warmly encourage you to book a free consultation for implants, braces, or aligners to receive a personalised quote.

How to Properly Care for Dental Veneers

Just like your natural teeth, veneers require care to ensure they last a long time. You’ll care for your veneers like your natural teeth, but we recommend putting in extra effort to safeguard your investment.

  • Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush, and floss once a day. Keeping up excellent oral hygiene not only maintains the quality of your veneers, but also prevents a receding gum line, which can make your original teeth visible above the veneers.
  • Avoid hard, chewy foods: Your veneers can be damaged, so we recommend avoiding hard sweets and very chewy foods. Also, you shouldn’t use your teeth to open packets or bite your nails.
  • Reduce alcohol consumption: Alcohol can discolour your veneers and weaken the bonding agent between the veneer and your teeth – this will shorten their lifespan. Moreover, we suggest only using alcohol-free mouthwash.
  • Reduce coffee, tea, and other staining food/drinks: Composites are porous and certain foods and drinks can easily stain them. On the other hand, porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, but they can become dull over time.
  • Stop/reduce smoking: Smoking is a common reason for stained veneers. Stopping will not only save your teeth, but improve your overall well-being and dental health too.
  • Consider wearing a mouth guard at night: If you grind your teeth (or if you’re not sure) a mouth guard can prevent your veneers from being worn down.

Dental Veneers Albany FAQs

How Long Does It Take to Get Dental Veneers?

Composite veneers can be applied in a single visit, whereas porcelain veneers need to be crafted in a lab, which often takes about 2 weeks to complete. Some dental offices have labs on-site, which can speed up the process, but others may need to send them away to be made. You’ll also need to spend more time in the chair getting enamel removed to make space for porcelain veneers.

Are Veneers Painful?

No, getting veneers is not painful. You might experience some discomfort or sensitivity when your teeth are prepared or when the veneers are bonded to your teeth. However, any tenderness or discomfort should ease up within a few days.

Are Veneers Reversible?

Composite veneers can be reversed, however, porcelain veneers are permanent. Because composite resin veneers require less physical change to the teeth, they can be removed if necessary. In contrast, porcelain veneers’ installation removes a significant amount of enamel from your teeth. Porcelain veneers are purposefully made to last a long time.
