What are dental veneers?
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile but don’t want to resort to braces or Invisalign, then cosmetic dental veneers might be for you. Depending on the type of look you want and your budget, there are a few avenues that you can take where dental veneers are concerned. But first: what are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin coverings or shells that are usually made up of porcelain or porcelain resin. These shells are applied over your teeth and fit snug - so they look like new and improved versions of your real teeth. Most people with good oral hygiene can consider veneers.
Are dental veneers right for you? Yes, if:
- You have noticeably chipped, broken or worn teeth
- You have stains on your teeth that cannot be removed by whitening treatments
- Your teeth are short or mismatched
At Toorak Dental Studio, our dental veneers will give you the confidence back to smile with your mouth open and show off your teeth. Contact us today to find out if dental veneers will work for you.

Benefits of porcelain veneers
Enjoy many advantages porcelain veneers
You will be able to enjoy many advantages that come with choosing to get porcelain veneers. Here are just some of the benefits of receiving this type of cosmetic dentistry:
- Everything from the shape to the colour and size of your dental veneers will be customised for you. That way, you’ll be able to achieve the smile you’ve always desired.
- Other than daily brushing and flossing, there’s no additional maintenance associated with getting porcelain veneers.
- After your dental veneers have been placed, there is little recovery time. Almost immediately after the veneers have been set to your teeth, you’ll be able to resume normal activities, such as eating and drinking.
- The entire process from your first consultation to the final appointment in the dentist’s chair is relatively quick. Once you’ve made the decision to get veneers made, it can take as little as two or three appointments over a couple of weeks. Compared to braces, it’s a much faster process.
- You can use porcelain veneers to fix just a few visible teeth, all your teeth, or to complement other cosmetic treatments. For example, you may wish to whiten your teeth as well as mend the gap between your front teeth.
- Porcelain veneers can correct multiple flaws all at once, such as the shape, colour and position (if minor) of your teeth. If you have stained, chipped or spaced out teeth, you can deal with these all at the same time with porcelain veneers.
- With porcelain veneers, you can get dramatic and quick results - and almost instant improvements.
- Made very thin and translucent, porcelain veneers are almost undetectable as they effortlessly mimic the properties of natural teeth and tooth enamel. Nobody will know you’ve had work done - unless you tell them.
- When taken care of well, porcelain veneers have a lifespan of around 10-15 years.

Composite vs Porcelain Veneers

What are composite veneers?
Composite veneers are an alternative to porcelain veneers or crowns, and can be applied in one sitting. Made from tooth-coloured resin, composite veneers are made with the same material used for tooth bonding. While they are less expensive than porcelain veneers, composite veneers may not last as long as their counterparts.
Composite veneers are relatively invasive and can be applied directly to your teeth (direct veneers) or custom-made outside of the mouth (indirect veneers). Due to the material used, they may need to be replaced or repaired more frequently than porcelain veneers.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of porcelain material (though some teeth veneers are made of composite resin). They’re placed over the existing teeth to transform the look of the mouth – whether this is to improve the shape, shade or damaged teeth.
The application of porcelain veneers leaves the existing tooth structure in place, but improves appearance by covering imperfections. They’re popular amongst patients that believe their teeth are crooked, discoloured, too small, too “gappy”, uneven or oddly shaped.


How are veneers put in?
Before you get your porcelain dental veneers put in, you’ll have an initial meeting with your dentist at Toorak Dental Studio to discuss your best option and how many veneers you would like. During this visit, your dentist will also take x-rays to evaluate the health of your teeth, including signs of tooth decay or gum disease.
Some patients may choose to get one veneer to cover a broken or chipped tooth, but many opt for six to eight veneers in order to create an even smile. The most common location where veneers are applied is the top front eight teeth.
At your next appointment, your dentist will shave down your tooth/teeth (about half a millimetre) to take a mould, which will be sent off to the lab to create your porcelain veneers. In the interim, you’ll receive a set of temporary veneers to wear.
After two weeks when your veneers have returned from the lab, you will schedule an appointment to have them placed in your mouth. Your dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth and then use a shaving tool to create a rougher texture so that the veneer sticks to the tooth. Then, your dentist will use dental cement to bind the veneer to your tooth, and use an ultraviolet light to harden the cement. After that, you’ll be ready to debut your new smile!
What do teeth look like under veneers?
Under your dental veneers, your teeth will look normal. They may have some of their surface reduced due to the tooth-preparation process, where your dentist will have shaved down your teeth by half a millimetre in order to secure your veneers.
Keep in mind that you must maintain your veneers by practicing good hygiene. Brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day. Dental check-ups and cleanings every six months should also be followed through. Take care of your veneers and they will take care of you.


Direct vs indirect veneers
Direct composite veneers and indirect composite veneers are cosmetic procedures and an alternative to porcelain veneers.
Direct veneers are applied directly to your teeth (hence the name.) This procedure doesn’t take very long and the application process is minimally invasive.
On the other hand, indirect veneers are custom (or ‘indirectly’) made outside of the mouth, either in your dentist’s office or in a dental lab. This process follows similarly to porcelain veneers, where you will be given a set of temporary veneers until the indirect veneers are created. When you book your next appointment, your veneers will be ready to be applied to your teeth.

GeorgiaStateofMind2025-05-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and patient with all my questions. My day renewing my veneers was a pleasure, the staff were so considerate of my experience with a lovely private room, lunch and pampering that made my day so relaxing. Should have brought my Ugg boots. S. Nicholls2025-05-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thankyou for the wonderful smile results, re-aligning my teeth and replacing my 20 year old bridges with new ceramic porcelain bridges. Throughout the process I was treated with care and kindness by the whole team. Dr Julie had great vision and has created a much improved smile with the technical brilliance of Julianna and assisted brilliantly by Jess, and with the helpful front desk and smiling faces of Bri and Elaine. On the 'whole day appointment' between sessions I was treated to lunch from a local cafe and a lovely massage and pedicure by Dana. Dana was outstanding. Emily also did a great job improving the colour, thankyou. The studio is calming, clean and professional. Whilst the lower teeth continue the invisalign process, I'm thrilled with the outcome of the top and how the smile looks now. I hope I haven't missed anyone, as the whole team were amazing to deal with and everyone I interacted with were kind, friendly, professional and supportive. Highly recommend.

Mina K2025-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Julie and her incredible team! From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere is warm, professional, and modern, which made me instantly comfortable. Dr. Julie is not only highly skilled but also takes the time to explain everything in detail, which shows her genuine care for her patients.She doesn’t just rush through appointments; she listens, provides options, and works with you to create a plan that’s best for your needs. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and make every visit feel personal. Dr Julie is the most Professional Dentist I have seen and met. Emily is also wonderful, She is gentle, thorough, her attention to detail is impressive, and she’s always happy to answer any questions I have. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist who combines expertise with compassionate care! Thank you, Dr. Julie and team, for making every visit a great experience! Vivien Leong2025-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my crown with another dentist which he did a very bad job, the dentist who did my crown did not bother to check after or at least be a listener! I went back twice about the pain. He told me it could take sometime to settle, telling me to give it more time. A year later, I still feel the pain whenever I eat?? I gave up and went to another dentist. Now, at Toorak Dental Studio, Dr Julie checked, X-ray, and she found the problem. My crown wasn't "placed" properly, that's a gap between my crown and tooth which is why I have the pain over the year. Anyhow, she fixed my problem within a day. The crown had to be replaced, I don't have to wait for weeks (no temporary crown, the clinic can do a 3D crown within the day). I stop going to my old dentist and I decided to give this new dental clinic a try, I did my 1st hygenic checked which I had a little gum issues, the hygenist was friendly and attend to my problems patiently. I also had some tooths sealing and a tooth filling with Dr Julie recently. I'm like most people, dentist and pain is a nightmare to me, but she did a great job.. Brianna Vaughan2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My treatment with Dr Julie Ghaly was undoubtedly the most professional, welcoming and painless experience I’ve ever had and her quality of dentistry is exceptional. As someone who’s typically nervous about dental work, I was amazed by how comfortable she made me feel, especially during the numbing process, which was completely painless. Her attention to detail, kindness and expertise truly stand out. I highly recommend Dr. Ghaly to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dentist! Larissa Wood2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the most gentle, caring, kind, professional, genuine team out there! Dr Julie is one of a kind - always making time for her patients. The practice is impeccable and all the staff are such a pleasure to be around and nothing is too much. Highly recommend Dr Julie and her team xx jiwon kim2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am starting my treatment next week. The TMJ issue only became real to me a few years ago. The headaches were accompanied by ear pain and a clicking sound in my jaw. Just one consultation with Dr Julie Ghaly was eye-opening. I am so excited! Margaret Lech2024-12-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Julie! She truly transformed my smile with the most beautiful dental veneers, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and gave me a smile that looks natural yet absolutely stunning. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also has such a warm and caring personality that made every visit a pleasure.
