Enhance Your Smile with Dental Veneers!
An ultra-strong, amazingly lifelike, and beautifully aesthetic option for front teeth, veneers act as a new face for teeth in your smile. Usually, veneers are placed to correct a defect or discolouration, such as trauma to a tooth which can turn it dark yellow or black, or antibiotic staining. However, veneers can be used to change the shape of your tooth, improve the colour of your tooth (in a more predictable way than bleaching), close gaps, and even strengthen a tooth.
There are two different categories of veneers, either built onto your tooth using composite resin (see Restorations) which is a quicker and cheaper procedure which can achieve amazing results, or made in a laboratory using porcelain which are stronger and longer lasting, as well as replicate the fine details of a tooth very well.
Whether you’re dealing with discoloured, chipped, uneven, or gapped teeth, veneers provide a natural-looking, long-lasting cosmetic solution.
We understand that every smile is unique. That’s why our experienced dentists in Ipswich work closely with you to design a personalised treatment plan that suits your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
The Cost of Dental Veneers
The cost of dental veneers can vary depending on several factors, including the number of veneers required, the material used (e.g., porcelain veneers vs. composite), and the complexity of the procedure. If you’re asking, “how much are veneers?”, here’s a general guide:
- Composite Veneers: More affordable, with faster turnaround times.
- Porcelain Veneers: Premium results with longer durability and stain resistance.
Due to the high cost of veneers, it is important to plan them very well, so we use photograph modeling, impressions of your teeth and extensive consultation with you prior to starting to ensure you will get the result you desire. If you are interested in veneers please reach out and let us know how we can help you!

What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve appearance. They’re ideal for correcting discolouration, gaps, and chips. If you’re wondering about porcelain veneer prices, contact us for current rates.
What are composite veneers?
Composite veneers are thin shells made of tooth-coloured resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are a popular cosmetic dental treatment used to correct imperfections like discoloration, chips, cracks, or gaps in the teeth. Composite veneers are a less expensive and less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers, and can often be completed in a single visit.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years with proper care. Composite veneers typically last between 5 - 10 years. Factors such as oral hygiene and grinding habits (which may require a dental splint or occlusal splint eventually) can impact longevity.
What’s the difference between crowns and veneers?
Dental crowns (also known as capping teeth) cover the entire tooth, while veneers only cover the front. Veneers are primarily cosmetic, while crowns offer structural reinforcement. Ask our Ipswich dentists which is right for your needs.
Can kids get veneers?
We don’t typically recommend veneers for children. However, our kids dental services include less invasive cosmetic treatments for young patients. For families looking for a childrens dentist in Ipswich, we offer compassionate care.
Can I whiten my teeth before getting veneers?
Yes! If you’re considering dental teeth whitening before veneers, we recommend doing it beforehand to match the veneer colour to your desired shade. Ask about your teeth whitening options at your next appointment.
Are veneers right for crooked teeth or gaps?
Veneers can visually correct minor misalignments and gaps. For more complex cases, braces may be required.
