What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, tooth coloured porcelain (ceramic) shells carefully crafted to bond to and cover the front of unsightly teeth. Similar in a way to a false fingernail, the veneer covers dark or yellow teeth, fills unsightly gaps, lengthens short or stubby teeth, straightens a crooked smile and in general improves your smile. Veneers create very life-like tooth appearance with its translucency as it mimics the light absorption of your teeth enamel. They are a more conservative treatment than a crown and can often be used as an alternative if the underlying tooth is strong and healthy.
- Covers unsightly front teeth and can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.
- Closes gaps between teeth.
- Quickly straighten crooked or misaligned teeth, a form of “instant orthodontics”.
- Procedure is relatively painless.
- Require very little invasive preparation to your teeth compared to a crown.
- Can often times be cheaper and simpler alternative to a crown depending on the strength of each teeth.
- Porcelain will not decay and when applied professionally and cared for regularly, veneers can last for many years.
- Resists staining due to age, tea, coffee or smoking.

The Dentistry by Design Difference.
At Dentistry by Design, our award winning dentists are active members of the renowned American Academy of Cosmetic Dentist Sydney and use the most advanced method of bonding principles providing patients with the superior results they expect and deserve. You can trust that your veneers will be made from the finest, most durable ceramic materials available. Our team of dentists are dedicated to ensure that your veneer looks as natural as possible by extensively colour matching your veneer and are careful to place veneers in a way that do not increase the thickness of the teeth. Teeth that become too thick with porcelain veneers may appear to stand out, giving a patient’s face a full or chipmunk appearance when their lips are closed. Dr Christopher Ho lectures and trains other dentists on veneers and aesthetic dentistry at the Australian Dental Association, in Australia and internationally. We have treated many patients from normal everyday patients to celebrities and actors, our patients have been proudly flashing that “dentistry by design” smile.
