Dental Veneers in Richmond

Dental veneers designed tooth by tooth around your face, your smile and your goals. You see the plan before anything begins.

Veneers and bonding, designed around you

No two smiles are treated the same way here. At our Richmond clinic, porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front of prepared teeth. Composite bonding is resin sculpted directly onto the tooth, often in a single visit. Both can address chips, gaps, discolouration and uneven shape. Which one suits you comes down to your teeth, your bite and what matters to you, and that's exactly what we work through together at your consultation.

Designed to your features

Each cosmetic veneer is planned around your facial structure, tooth shape and preferred shade, then crafted in a dental laboratory. Where suitable, a digital smile design lets you preview and refine the plan with your dentist before you decide anything.

Porcelain is strong and resists staining; with good care, veneers can last many years, though longevity varies with your bite, habits and oral health, and they can chip or need replacement over time. Bonding has a shorter lifespan but is easily repaired and refreshed.

Nothing happens without your say-so

Veneers usually require removing a small amount of enamel, and this step is not reversible, so we make sure you understand it fully before you commit. Bonding typically involves little or no tooth preparation. Either way, you get a written plan with options and costs, and the decision stays with you.

Cared for like your own teeth

Brushing, flossing and regular examinations, that's it. Composite can pick up stains over time and can be polished or replaced when it does. We'll show you exactly how to keep everything looking its best.

Payment plans & options available

Porcelain veneers at Elevate start from $1,800 per tooth, with payment plans available from around $45 a week. Your exact investment depends on how many teeth are treated and the complexity of your case, and it's confirmed in a written plan before you decide anything. Figures are a general guide only.

We work with you to find the best plan for your budget and your goals. 
We offer flexible payment plans, make on-the-spot health fund claims and zero-deposit options.

Book My Complimentary Smile Consult

A considered process for veneers in Richmond, one step at a time

It starts with a conversation. At your Smile Consultation we examine your teeth, take photographs and talk honestly about what's achievable for you, including whether veneers or bonding are the right approach at all. If you choose veneers, your teeth are prepared, which usually involves removing a small amount of enamel and is not reversible, then your veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory and fitted at a following visit. Bonding is usually sculpted and finished in a single appointment.

Costs depend on how many teeth are treated and the complexity of your case. You'll have a written, itemised plan in hand before anything starts, and flexible payment options including Afterpay, Zip, in-house plans and SuperCare.

The honest conversation

Veneers and bonding are elective procedures, and we'd rather you understand everything involved before you decide, not after.

Built to be lived with

Porcelain is strong and resists staining. With good care, veneers can last many years, though longevity varies with your bite, habits and oral health, and they can chip, debond or need replacement over time. Bonding generally has a shorter lifespan but is easily repaired and refreshed.

Risks worth understanding

Like all dental treatment, veneers and bonding carry risks: tooth sensitivity, chipping or debonding, irreversible enamel removal for veneers, and the likelihood of repair or replacement in future. Results vary from person to person. Full details are on our Treatment risks and considerations page.

‍

Comfort throughout

We plan each visit around your comfort, explain every step before it happens, and pace treatment so nothing feels rushed. Temporary veneers are an option while your porcelain veneers are being crafted.

Can you help with dental anxiety?

Yes, and you're not alone in asking.

Plenty of our patients arrive nervous, and we've set the practice up with that in mind: Netflix on the ceiling, noise-cancelling headphones, stress balls, and happy gas if you'd like it. Tell us what you're worried about when you book, and we'll go at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and stop whenever you need a breather.

Frequently asked questions

Our trusted dentists are here to help you with your individual needs.
Explore our FAQs below or contact us if you have a specific question.

How much do dental veneers cost in Richmond?

It depends on the material and how many teeth we're treating. As a guide, composite veneers typically start from $500 per tooth, while porcelain veneers generally start from $1800 per tooth.

The difference reflects how they're made: composite is sculpted directly onto your tooth in a single visit and can be repaired easily, while porcelain is custom-crafted in a laboratory, is more resistant to staining, and generally lasts longer, often 10–15 years with good care, compared with 4–8 years for composite.

Neither is simply "better". The right choice depends on your teeth, your goals, your timeframe and your budget, and sometimes a combination works best. Come in for your complimentary consultation and we'll walk you through every option with a written plan and itemised costs, so you can decide with everything in front of you.

‍

What is the difference between veneers and dental bonding?

Bonding uses tooth-coloured resin applied directly to your tooth in a single visit, ideal for smaller repairs. Veneers are custom-made shells that cover the front surface and generally last longer. Both have their place, and often there's more than one path to the result you want. Come in and we'll guide you through the options against your goals, your timeline and your budget.

Am I a good candidate for veneers?

Veneers can address chips, gaps, discolouration and uneven shape, and they suit many adults who want to change how their front teeth look. Your teeth and gums need to be healthy first, so any decay or gum concerns are treated before cosmetic work begins. If you grind your teeth, we'll talk through whether a night guard is needed to protect your result.

Because porcelain veneers need a thin layer of enamel removed, it's a decision worth taking your time over. At your complimentary consultation, we'll examine your teeth, talk through what you'd like to change, and let you know whether veneers, bonding or another option suits you best.

How long do veneers last, and how do I care for them?

With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10–15 years. Look after them the way you would your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up your regular check-up and clean. Avoid biting directly into very hard foods or using your teeth to open packaging, and wear a night guard if you grind.

Porcelain resists staining, but the teeth and gums around your veneers still need good daily care. We'll check your veneers at each visit. Results vary from person to person.

Will my results look natural?

That's the goal, always. Every treatment is planned tooth by tooth, with shape and shade matched to your face and your preferences, and you'll see and approve the plan before we begin. If you're weighing up what would suit you, come in: it's exactly what the complimentary consultation is for.

Do you offer payment plans for cosmetic dentistry?

Yes, and there are more options than most people expect. Flexible payment plans, on-the-spot health fund claims, and zero-deposit options, structured to fit your timeframe and your budget. Come in, and we'll walk you through what's available so you can choose what works for you.
