What Are Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made, thin layer of strong dental material, often porcelain or zirconia. They are designed to fit over the top of your natural teeth to create a new permanent appearance. They’re perfect for hiding imperfections like chips, stains, or gaps. At Channon Lawrence Dental, we offer high-quality porcelain veneers that look natural and last for years.
Porcelain Veneers vs. Zirconia Veneers
When it comes to choosing veneers, you might come across whether to go for porcelain or zirconia. Here’s a quick comparison:
Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are known for their natural look. They’re excellent for front teeth where getting the look right is important. Porcelain veneers are also strong but can be prone to chipping if you’re not careful.
Zirconia Veneers: Zirconia veneers on the other hand are durable and resistant to cracking. They’re a bit thicker than porcelain veneers and are great for molars or people with heavy biting pressure. However, they might not look as natural as porcelain veneers.
For more detailed information, you can check out the Australian Government Healthdirect's page on veneers.
FAQs About Veneers
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, while zirconia veneers can last even longer.
Are veneers stain-resistant?
Yes, both porcelain and zirconia veneers are resistant to staining, but it’s still a good idea to avoid foods and drinks that can cause stains on your teeth. Drinks like tea, coffee and wine, and foods like fruits and berries can stain your teeth.

What Are Dental Crowns?
Think of a dental crown as a “cap” for your tooth. They cover the entire tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. We use dental crowns for a variety of reasons, like protecting a weak tooth, covering a dental implant, or making a cosmetic modification to your teeth.
