Bella was very unhappy with her short, square tooth shape. She also wanted to fix the uneven spacing between her teeth and discolouration.
Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of eight porcelain veneers to lengthen and lighten the teeth, and deliver a bright, beautiful smile.
Rube wanted a fresh new smile for his upcoming wedding. His short tooth shape, uneven spacing and discolouration — combined with a failed root canal on his front tooth — really bothered him.
Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of seven new porcelain veneers, a dental implant and a tooth crown. Best of all, his new wife loved the results!
Adam had previously gone elsewhere for porcelain veneers. Unfortunately, the results weren't what he had hoped for. He didn’t like the shape, colour and size of his teeth.
Following Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive, Adam received six replacement veneers. He was thrilled with the process and his new results!

Porcelain veneers are wafer thin, yet very strong, porcelain shells. They are custom-made to fit over your existing teeth for a new, natural-looking smile. Porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting solution for many cosmetic dental problems including:
If properly cared for, porcelain veneers can ensure a beautiful smile for up to 15 or more years. However, disadvantages to consider include:
The price for porcelain veneers in Australia is about $2,000 to $3,000 per tooth. The cost can vary depending on the experience of your dentist, the quality of the veneers and how natural-looking you want the result to be.
Porcelain veneers typically require 2 appointments, with the entire treatment taking between 2-3 weeks. Following your Digital Smile Design stage, here’s an idea of what your treatment could look like:
First appointment
Dr Dunn preps your teeth by removing minimal tooth structure. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a model of your smile. Expect little to no pain, as local anaesthetic is used. You’ll receive temporary veneers to wear until your next appointment.
Second appointment
Around 2-3 weeks later, Dr Dunn carefully bonds your beautiful new porcelain veneers to the surface of your teeth. Our porcelain veneers are hand-crafted right here in Australia by a master ceramist, overseen by Dr Dunn himself.
Enjoy sharing your stunning new smile. With Dr Dunn’s 25 years of cosmetic dentistry experience and meticulous planning, you know the final result will be expertly tailored to your needs.
When researching dental veneers, you’ve likely seen that there are two different types available: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Below is a quick rundown of the difference between the two types of veneers (and why they differ so much in price).
Porcelain veneers are extremely tough and highly durable. Thanks to its pearly translucence, porcelain looks just like real teeth and offers a more natural appearance than composite material. Porcelain veneers are also virtually stain-resistant and, with the right care, can last for several decades. They are also carefully hand-crafted and shaped to perfectly suit your teeth, creating a flawless finish. Since porcelain is a premium material, this type of veneer does come at a higher cost than composite veneers.
Composite veneers are cheaper than porcelain veneers, however, they do not have the longevity or durability that porcelain veneers do and are more prone to staining. This means you will need to pay to replace them after a number of years. While composite veneers still have a beautiful finish, the composite material does not look as natural as porcelain. Since they require less reshaping, they are a faster solution for those wanting a quick fix and can often be fitted on the spot.
