If you’re faced with minor teeth cracks, gaps, and other imperfections, it can be tough. At Avira Dental, we offer composite veneers as a stand-out option. The procedure is designed to relieve any minor teeth concerns. So you can enjoy a brighter and smoother smile in just one visit!
Explore our composite veneers process:
Closely related to dental bonding, the veneer process allows for the application of composite resin. This is a tough material that is used for doing teeth fillings. This effectively helps to revitalise the teeth, with a process that involves both reshaping and resurfacing. Providing the client with the ideal tooth shape, and colour that suits their unique desires.
In short, the composite veneers are applied through a strict, personalised process. It involves using very thin layers of the composite resin and applying this to the tooth surface. The veneers will be sculpted by the dentist to your dental anatomy. The shaping process is done in-clinic while the composite is placed on your tooth surface.
It’s a completely custom process, yet also non-invasive process. The dentist performing the service must have experience, knowledge and a high attention to detail for quality composite veneers.
If you’re on track to improving your oral health, it can be hard to know which solution to turn to. Many dentistry options, like porcelain veneers offer similar benefits and procedures.
While traditional porcelain veneers have been a popular choice, they may not be right for you! Before you start your dental journey, consider key factors like lifestyle and appearance.

See what to expect in your veneers service:
Before we begin, our team will take the time to evaluate your teeth using a dental examination. We’ll discuss your smile goals, and properly assess your teeth. We do this by using the 3D CBCT scan to look at your dental anatomy, including the teeth, roots, jaw and bone. This helps us to assess your eligibility for, and plan the veneers treatment.
The goal of the CBCT scan is to provide detailed imaging of the mouth. The images are taken at different angles, as the machine rotates around your head to capture these. Providing a deep and accurate insight into your teeth.
During this stage, our team will work closely to find your ideal tooth design. We’ll understand which composite veneer shape you’re looking for, and map this out on your teeth. Alongside this, you’ll choose the colour of your desired composite teeth. By doing so, you can find the colour that best complements your skin tone and natural teeth.
Before applying the composite bond, we treat the tooth surface so the “glue” adheres to it better. We never neglect any stage of the composite veneer. Providing the right preparation as the necessary foundation for the right teeth.
We’ll apply and build up every layer of resin, as our team takes care to sculpt and shape each resin for a seamless look. Our meticulous process is done to ensure the appropriate shape and thickness of the resin.
Solidifying the Resin
To harden the surface of the resin, we’ll cure this into the place. Our team will use a curing tool that helps to ensure that this is both durable, and can look as natural as possible. Once this is done, we’ll polish the veneers for an appealing finish.
Once complete, your veneers are polished to a natural, lifelike finish. You’ll see your result immediately. Our team will inspect for a proper bite adjustment, taking care to ensure that there’s no discomfort with eating. Also, we’ll provide some oral care advice custom to your needs.
Once the procedure is done, your oral care shouldn’t end there. Through basic practices, you can help to extend the lifespan of your veneers. Maintain your oral hygiene, by maintaining your commitment to this.
See dental care you should tick off regularly:
Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste (Day and night)
Floss daily to maintain gum health around veneers
Avoid biting into very hard foods such as ice or hard lollies
Attend regular check-ups at the frequency advised by us
When using mouth wash, avoid alcohol-free formulations
Given that this procedure has a one day turnaround, you’ll enjoy a smoother smile sooner! This will help you to enhance your oral hygiene, and wellbeing to make the day-to-day easy.
Little to no tooth enamel is removed to prepare for this dental solution. The veneer is applied to the surface of the teeth, causing no unneeded discomfort during the process.
If your composite veneers are damaged, this can be repaired through either smoothing or more resin. Whether it’s a chipped tooth, or cracked tooth, these veneers offer the flexibility of easy repairs.
While composite dental veneers are safe, there are still some risks associated. It’s important to remain informed of these before making a decision. At Avira Dental, we inform you of all possible risks and complications prior to the treatment.
See the risks of composite veneers:
Prone to breakage
As a porous material, this is much more fragile than porcelain. It’s difficult for composite to maintain resistance to tough or hard materials.
The tooth sensitivity
During the teeth preparation, some tooth enamel may be removed which causes sensitivity. Alongside this, teeth vulnerability is a sign of the mouth adapting to changes.
Teeth mismatch/staining
The composite material is much more prone to stains by coffee, wine, or other drinks. Alongside this, in rare cases the composite bond is the wrong colour, causing an unnatural appearance.
Risk of bruxism
With persistent teeth grinding, it increases the chances of damage, like fracturing the material. In many cases, a night guard is recommended, however the dentist needs to make an assessment for eligibility.
Here at Avira Dental, we believe in providing the transparency that you need. When a dental experience can feel challenging, we have you covered as we communicate every step of the way. If you have any questions, have peace of mind knowing that we’re committed to providing clarity.
With every service, we take the time to perform a thorough assessment of your teeth. Our team does this by using the latest in scanning technology, helping to gain insight into your dental anatomy. From streamlining the dental diagnosis, to the treatment plan process.

These veneers don’t cause any teeth damage as the teeth underneath stay intact. This is because the procedure involves little to no removal of the tooth enamel. Making it a procedure that can be reversible.
When it comes to this type of veneer, the process requires no drilling. Instead, it’s a minimally invasive process which may require some removal of the tooth’s enamel. Since it’s a relatively straightforward process, no anaesthetic is needed.
The price of composite veneers begins from $790. However, it’s important to note that the price of this varies based on the amount of teeth that are being treated. We also offer a variety of payment options, to explore these see our service pricing list, or contact us at Avira Dental.
