Enhance Your Smile Naturally
If you want an instant smile transformation but don’t want to undergo invasive dental procedures, dental veneers may be a suitable option. The team at Killara Dental is highly experienced in cosmetic treatments like veneers, and in just one to two sessions, we can help you achieve a naturally beautiful smile that complements your features while also providing functional benefits such as bite improvement.
At our East Killara clinic, veneers are custom-made from thin, tooth-coloured shells of porcelain to modify the shape, size, colour and length of your teeth. This allows us to address concerns such as chips, cracks and blemishes while achieving a natural-looking result. We support patients across the North Shore and surrounding suburbs with personalised cosmetic dental care. If you're considering dental veneers treatment, we will walk you through the process and explain the pros and cons, helping you understand which option is best suited to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers permanent?
Because the process requires removing a small amount of tooth structure, dental veneers are considered a permanent treatment. Once placed, they cannot be reversed and will need to be maintained and eventually replaced as they wear over time. With proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, veneers can remain in good condition for many years.
How are dental veneers done?
The veneer process typically involves smile planning, tooth preparation and placement. After discussing your goals, the tooth surface is prepared to allow space for the veneer material.
For composite veneers, the resin is applied directly to the tooth, shaped and hardened during the same appointment. For porcelain veneers, the teeth are digitally scanned and the veneers are custom-made before being bonded to the teeth. The result is a natural-looking finish designed to improve both appearance and function.. You can emphasise this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.
How long do dental veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 15–20 years with proper care, while composite veneers generally last 5–7 years. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend their lifespan.
Are You a Candidate for Veneers?
Veneers are an excellent option to renew your smile. At our East Killara clinic, composite and porcelain veneers are a popular choice for patients with a range of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Chipped or fractured teeth
- Tooth crowding
- Gaps between the teeth
- Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
- Discoloured teeth
- Worn-down teeth
However, in some cases, certain concerns may be too severe for veneer treatment. In these situations, our Killara dentist will recommend a more suitable procedure based on your individual needs.
Type of Dental Veneers
Porcelain Veneers
Our East Killara clinic offers porcelain veneers for a more natural-looking, durable and long-lasting result. Veneers display a beautiful translucency that mimics natural teeth and provides highly aesthetic results. They are also resistant to staining, allowing you to maintain a brighter smile over time.
At Killara Dental, we offer Emax and ceramic porcelain veneers. These materials allow for a high level of customisation, and our dentists can stain, glaze and layer the veneers to achieve a lifelike finish. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 15–20 years.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are a more cost-effective option for cosmetic improvements. The composite resin is sculpted directly onto the tooth after minimal preparation, allowing the entire process to be completed in just one visit.
However, unlike porcelain veneers, composite is not as resistant to staining or wear, so they may not last as long. They may also not achieve the same level of translucency as porcelain veneers.
