If you're living with minor cosmetic issues with your teeth, like chipped or oddly shaped teeth, porcelain veneers may be an excellent solution for eliminating smile flaws, and Dr Kinsella and his team can help!

A Smile Makeover with Porcelain Veneers in Perth, WA

Dental veneers are super-thin layers of porcelain that we design to fit over the front surface of your teeth, covering small cosmetic flaws and blending seamlessly with your smile. Veneers can actually change the shape, shade, and size of your teeth, allowing you and Dr Kinsella to design a more uniform and symmetrical smile. Dr Kinsella can repair one or two teeth with veneers but can also use them to redesign six to eight teeth.

A Permanent Solution for Enhancing Your Smile

Since Dr Kinsella removes a minimal amount of tooth enamel to bond the veneers directly to your teeth, they are considered a permanent treatment. However, when you take good care of your veneers, they can last for several years. 

Caring for porcelain veneers is simple because you don't have to change your home care routine, and you'll be able to brush and floss your teeth normally as you're used to. Be sure to avoid using whitening toothpaste as it can be abrasive and scratch the surface of the veneers. 

It's also best to avoid biting into hard or crunchy foods like apples or crusty bread that could damage or fracture your veneers. Instead, you can enjoy those foods by cutting them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. 

How to Get Started with Porcelain Veneers

The first step in planning your new smile is to meet with Dr Kinsella. He'll create a treatment plan and discuss your needs, goals, and budget with you. 

We invite you to contact our dental clinic in Perth, WA, for more information about porcelain veneers.  

 

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
