Dental Veneers Sydney: A Confident New Smile Awaits

A dental veneer is a thin, custom-made layer designed to enhance the appearance of teeth. At our Sydney dental clinic, we specialise in both porcelain veneers and composite veneers, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Veneers are crafted to correct discolouration, chips, gaps, or worn edges, giving you a new smile with a natural look and feel.

Unlike many cosmetic dentists who rely on digital previews and computer-assisted designs, Dr. Sarkis Nalbandian employs a rare artistic method: he handcrafts your diagnostic mockup directly onto your existing teeth. This allows you to preview and assess the proposed changes in real time, making subtle refinements on the spot. It’s a testament to his expertise in cosmetic dental treatments and his global standing in the field of Sydney cosmetic dentistry.

Types of Dental Veneers Available at Designer Smiles Sydney

When it comes to veneer treatments, we focus on two main options (porcelain or composite material), both designed to suit different needs and goals.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells made from high-quality ceramic material. They closely match the natural colour of your teeth and are designed to last 10–15 years with proper care. This option is ideal for patients who want the best balance of strength, aesthetics, and longevity.

Composite Resin Veneers

Composite veneers are crafted from tooth-coloured resin. They are more affordable than porcelain and can often be completed in a single visit. While they do not last as long, they are an excellent choice for minor cosmetic improvements or for patients looking for a quicker solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental veneers made of?

Dental veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers use thin ceramic layers that look like natural enamel. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth with tooth-coloured material. Both options are safe and designed to match your smile. We compare porcelain vs composite veneers here.

Dental veneers are applied in several steps. First, the dentist checks your teeth and gums to confirm you are suitable. A small layer of enamel is removed to prepare your teeth. A handcrafted mock-up shows how the veneers will look – we don’t use computer-assisted designs. Porcelain veneers are then made in a lab, while composite veneers are shaped directly on the tooth. Finally, the veneers are bonded in place and polished.
The cost of dental veneers depends on the material and the number of teeth treated. In Sydney, porcelain veneers cost between $1,200 and $2,500 per tooth. Composite veneers cost between $450 and $950 per tooth. Prices vary if extra treatments, like crowns, are needed. Payment plan options are often available.
Yes, like any dental treatment, veneers carry some risks. A small amount of enamel must be removed, which can sometimes increase tooth sensitivity. Veneers may also chip or loosen over time if not cared for properly. Choosing an experienced cosmetic dentist reduces these risks, and with good oral hygiene, most patients enjoy long-lasting, safe results.
Veneers are expensive because of the materials, customisation, and expertise required. Each veneer is designed to match the colour and shape of your teeth. Porcelain veneers use durable, lifelike ceramic that can last 10 to 15 years. Skilled cosmetic dentists and dental technicians craft them with precision. This makes veneers a long-term investment in your smile and confidence.
With good care, porcelain veneers can last around 10 to 15 years. Composite veneers usually last 5 to 7 years before they may need replacing.
Veneers are unlikely to damage your teeth. They are very thin, and only a small amount of enamel is reshaped to prepare your teeth, so the natural tooth structure stays mostly intact.

Veneers can often be placed in conjunction with other treatments, such as dental crowns or implants, depending on your individual needs. Learn the differences between crowns and veneers here.

Teeth whitening brightens the natural enamel, but veneers can do more. They not only improve colour, but can also change the shape, size, and alignment of your teeth.

Choosing between Invisalign vs veneers depends on your end goal. If you want to straighten your natural teeth and improve their function, Invisalign may be a better option. If you’re focused on cosmetic changes like whiter, more uniform teeth, veneers may be the right choice. Your dentist can help you decide after a consultation.
