Dental Veneers
What are dental veneers?
Have you ever found yourself holding back a laugh or covering your mouth because of a chipped or discoloured tooth? At Melbourne Dental Studio, we can help you achieve your dream smile with veneers — thin, custom-made shells crafted from ceramic or composite resin, bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, colour, and symmetry.
Our cosmetic dental veneers provide a durable and natural-looking solution for those seeking a seamless enhancement to their smile. Keep in mind that while they often have a positive impact, veneers are also an irreversible and lifelong change for your smile, so it’s always best to get a thorough consultation with your dentist before beginning your cosmetic dentistry journey.
Key benefits of dental veneers
- Provides a long-lasting aesthetic result that can significantly boost your social and professional confidence.
- Offers a highly customisable solution, allowing you to choose the shade and contour to suit your facial features.
- Corrects the appearance of minor gaps, uneven spacing, or permanent discolouration that can’t be addressed by teeth whitening alone.
- Uses high-quality materials from local Australian laboratories for superior quality control.
- Integrates seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring your results look authentic rather than “fake.”
Costs & packages for dental veneers
The cost of veneers Melbourne residents can expect varies based on the material chosen and the number of teeth being treated.
Our veneers cases come with prototyping allowing you to see what your smile will look like before we start the process, and include a night guard to protect them from grinding and chipping.
Veneer prices start at $11,999* for 6, $13,999* for 8 and $15,999 for 10 veneers, and 3D-printed veneers start at $850 per tooth.
After your consultation and clinical examination, we will provide a transparent quote.

Aftercare & maintenance for veneers
While dental veneers are designed to be durable, their longevity depends on your daily habits. You should regularly brush and floss to prevent decay in the underlying natural tooth structure.
We recommend regular Dental Checkup & Cleaning appointments to monitor the health of your veneers. Avoiding habits such as nail-biting or chewing on hard objects will help prevent chipping. If you have a history of teeth grinding, we may recommend a protective night guard to safeguard your investment.
Frequently asked questions about dental veneers
-
Veneers aren’t permanent — but they are long-lasting. On average, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, whereas composite veneers last around 5-7 years. The longevity of your veneers also depends on how well you care for them after they are placed. For example, if the underlying natural teeth begin to decay due to poor oral hygiene, it can severely affect your veneers.
-
No — provided the procedure is done by an experienced veneers dentist and you maintain proper oral hygiene. While some enamel is removed, the veneer strengthens the tooth surface once bonded, essentially adding another layer of protection.
-
The cost of veneers in Melbourne is influenced by the material (porcelain vs composite) and the complexity of the case. You can count on us to provide detailed quotes after a clinical assessment, so there are no surprises.
-
Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a lab, offer superior aesthetics (especially for more significant transformations), and last longer. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth, are faster to apply, and are generally more affordable. When comparing porcelain vs composite veneers, porcelain is generally the preferred choice. Your dentist will be happy to discuss your options. To help guide your decision, you can also look at veneer before and after photos online.
-
They serve different purposes. Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of a healthy tooth to enhance its appearance. Dental crowns encase the entire tooth to provide 360-degree structural reinforcement — used when a tooth is significantly weakened by decay, fractures, or root canal treatment.
