What are Veneers?
Our porcelain veneers are very thin, individually designed restorations made from ceramic materials that are bonded over the front surfaces of your teeth to enhance their overall appearance and functionality. Porcelain veneers are a safe, conservative and effective treatment option for improving the overall appearance of a smile by enhancing the colour, shape and size of individual teeth.
Tooth Preservation is Our Philosophy
In most cases, our dental veneers — unlike crowns and older thicker style-porcelain veneers — do not require excessive trimming or filling back of the underlying tooth prior to the veneers being bonded. This allows us to achieve safe and reliable aesthetic results with porcelain veneers which are designed to support the longevity of tooth.
In more complex cases, for example very crooked or misaligned teeth, our dentists will advise you of the different approaches to dealing with complex smile makeover cases. Indeed, porcelain can be used in these situations, however we may recommend a course of orthodontic correction with clear aligners to straighten the teeth before moving ahead with veneers. We pride ourselves in following a minimally-invasive philosophy to ensure healthy tooth tissue is conserved as much as possible whilst providing a breathtaking aesthetic outcome. We don’t just want our teeth to look good – we want them to be comfortable, stable and healthy.
Our Veneers
Our porcelain veneers are made from the highest-quality ceramic materials that are designed to mimic the beauty of natural healthy teeth. They are resistant to staining and, with proper care, will maintain their lustrous bright colour and shine, making our veneers an extremely popular treatment for patients seeking a brilliant, healthy looking smile designed to last.
Our Work
The before and after photos in our smile gallery illustrate the predictable results achievable with our porcelain veneers, which we have successfully used to improve our patients’ smiles for the last 30 years. Our porcelain veneers can transform discoloured, cracked, and gapped teeth into stunning, bright, balanced and harmonious smile which enhances and lifsts the entire face.

The Benefits
of Porcelain Veneers
- Address Multiple Aesthetic Concerns
Porcelain veneers can treat numerous aesthetic concerns simultaneously by improving colour, shape, size, spacing and alignment of teeth. - Immediate Aesthetic Improvements
Porcelain veneers can transform smiles in as little as two appointments, compared to a lengthy course of orthodontics (braces or aligners) which are unable to alter the colour or shape of teeth. - Aesthetic Finishing Post-Orthodontics
Veneers can be used in combination with orthodontics for superior aesthetic results, functionality and maximal tooth preservation, which is an ideal approach to modern smile makeovers. - Look and Feel Rejuvenated
Transform the entire face with a brighter, fuller and healthier looking smile. Porcelain veneers can be used for discrete improvements or can be used to create glamorous and bold Hollywood smiles – the choice is yours. - Lucious Lips: Increased Soft-Tissue Support
Veneers can improve and restore lost lip volume by pushing soft-tissues forward, creating fuller and more youthful looking lips. - Protect and Preserve Healthy Teeth
Newer biomimetic bonding materials can continue to release minerals into the teeth, keeping them healthier and stronger.

What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a popular restorative dental treatment using custom-made, very thin, tooth-shaped shells that are bonded over the top of natural teeth. The dental veneer is tooth coloured and designed to cover the front surface of the tooth to improve appearance. At CLDC, we use dental veneers your teeth to change the shape, colour, size or length of your tooth.
Porcelain veneers are bonded to the surface of your teeth and are an effective option for improving your teeth shade, shape, and size. Many patients choose our veneers to replace existing veneers, fill gaps in their smile and cover damaged or time-worn teeth.
How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?
At CLDC we offer porcelain veneer treatment plans tailored to best suit each patient’s individual smile goals and budget.
The cost of veneers can vary based on a number of factors: the number of veneers required, the degree of tooth preparation; whether any teeth more appropriately require a crown rather than a veneer; and any specific aesthetic features desired by the patient. Our veneers are individually designed by master ceramists in partnership with our dentists to create stunning and natural smiles personalised for each patient.
Treatment with porcelain veneers at CLDC starts from $1,200 per tooth. Our exemplary aesthetic work is performed by Dr Yvonne King and associates, having over 30 years of experience creating an aesthetically beautiful and functional smile for patients.
For a comprehensive treatment plan and detailed quote for porcelain veneers, please contact us to arrange a private one-on-one aesthetic consultation with one of our dentists.

Our Porcelain Veneers Process
A gorgeous new smile can be achieved in as little as three visits with our porcelain veneers.
- First visit
- second visit
- third visit
Consultation
In your private consultation with Dr King, you will discuss your dental concerns, smile goals, treatment options and the procedure. Our goal is to match you with the correct dental treatment that best suits your aesthetic goals, your lifestyle and your budget,, Dr King is Australia’s leading aesthetic dentist and the first in Australia to be awarded the highly regarded and prestigious degree of Masters in Aesthetic Dentistry, so you can be confident you are receiving the highest standard of care.
In some cases, we may need to take 3D scans and impressions of your tooth or use x-rays to determine the best treatment options for your dental needs. Our dentists are committed to providing a safe and friendly environment for all of our patients.
Preparation and Temporary veneers
Our dentists will perform your smile as required to create a temporary veneer over your tooth using a composite dental resin. This will give you an immediate preview of the final porcelain veneer design. This is often an exciting and emotional moment for our patients to see their newly designed smile for the first time. We will then discuss how the temporary resin veneers look and feel — making the necessary adjustments to the design based on your feedback. Preparatory work will vary depending on your smile, so this will be discussed in detail with your dentist before commencing treatment.
Once you are satisfied with the design of your veneers and new smile, we will take a scan or impression of the temporary veneers in the mouth. Our lab will recreate the custom-made porcelain veneer based on the resin design using stunning and lifelike ceramic material.
Placement of Porcelain Veneers
In your third visit, we will remove the temporary resin veneers. The new porcelain veneers will then be placed on your teeth. At this stage, you may observe the veneers in the mouth and discuss the final look and feel of your porcelain veneers. Once approved, the veneers are securely bonded to each tooth using a special dental cement and a UV curing light. After clean-up, checking your bite, comfort and speech, you are ready to enjoy life with your rejuvenated new smile.
Choosing a Dentist for Porcelain Veneers: Patient Satisfaction is Our Priority
If the appearance of your smile is important to you, we understand that selecting the right dentist for any type of restorative procedure can be intimidating. That’s why you can entrust CLDC as a practice with the most experience and knowledge in the field as possible.
Here are some questions (and our answers) that you should ask a practitioner before committing to any treatment:
How many cases have your performed?
Creating beautiful new smiles is our dedicated area of expertise. We have completed over 5,000 smile makeovers and placed over 30,000 porcelain veneers over the past 30 years.
We are leaders in cosmetic dentistry and our principal dentist, Dr King, is a keynote speaker and lecturer in minimally-invasive aesthetic dentistry around the world.
Can I see an example similar to my case?
At CLDC, we have been transforming smiles with porcelain veneers for over 30 years and have a catalogue of thousands of patient case studies on hand to share with prospective new patients.
We can likely find a case presentation similar to your own and explain which results can be predictably and safely achieved in your situation.
Do I need preparatory work prior to veneers?
A smile is only as stable as the foundations it is built on. If your teeth have untreated decay, gum disease or other issues which may compromise the longevity or either the veneer or the tooth itself, we will not be able to proceed until those conditions are addressed and stabilised.
Only after a comprehensive examination and x-rays can we determine a treatment plan which ensures your smile makeover is performed safely. The longevity, functionality and comfort of your teeth are a paramount priority alongside aesthetics.
Where are the veneers made?
At CLDC, our veneers are crafted by our master ceramists in state-of-the-art laboratories here in Melbourne. We understand that no two smiles are alike, which is why we work hand-in-hand with our ceramists to achieve ideal, personalised outcomes for every patient. We never compromise on the quality of our materials.
Designed with beauty and durability in mind, our veneers are not easily broken or chipped, giving you the confidence to enjoy your new smile and being able to eat, speak comfortably. Our porcelain veneers are made from the highest quality ceramic materials available and we do offer a range of aesthetic options which make porcelain veneers more accessible and affordable to more patients.
Should I consider orthodontics first?
The main benefit of porcelain veneers is that your smile makeover can be completed in as little as two appointments. In more complex cases, for example where teeth are severely crooked or misaligned, we will always inform our patients about the benefits of less-invasive treatment plans which have minimal impact on the health of teeth.
In some cases, we may recommend our orthodontic dental services with clear aligners to straighten the teeth prior to treatment with porcelain veneers. This will not only help protect teeth from unnecessary and irreversible preparatory damage, but can also provide superior aesthetic and functional outcomes. This is an area Dr King is passionate about and has lectured to dentists around the world about this new paradigm in aesthetic dentistry.
We will explain the pros and cons of both treatment options for you and answer all questions you may have at your consultation, so you can make a fully-informed decision about your smile makeover.
Do you have more questions?

How much do porcelain veneers cost?
Porcelain veneers cost roughly between $850 to $3,000 per tooth to suit more patients’ needs and budgets. The cost of porcelain veneers can vary depending on the complexity of a case and also the aesthetic features a patient desires in their new smile, such as natural translucency, shading and biomimetic features.
Our most affordable porcelain veneers require minimal or no tooth preparation which can completely transform the appearance of teeth. We were one of the first dental practices in Australia to offer the revolutionary GlamSmile porcelain veneer system – a more affordable, minimal-prep dental veneer treatment. Contact us and discover how GlamSmile veneers can be a quarter of the cost of traditional veneers.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Our porcelain veneers are made from highest quality ceramic material. With the proper care and maintenance, many of our long-term patients continue to enjoy their porcelain veneers more than 20 years after treatment without issue, looking as bright and beautiful as the day they were first inserted. If you are interested in the different porcelain veneers treatment, please give us a call today to discuss your options.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are not strictly permanent — however once bonded to the teeth they can only be safely removed by a dentist. Just like natural teeth, veneers are not immune to damage or accidental damage, but with proper care they can last for decades. At CLDC, we employ a minimally-invasive approach to veneers, meaning we avoid reducing natural tooth structure as much as possible. In some cases, if teeth require significant reduction of natural tooth enamel or have considerable wear or damage prior to being veneered, then your options may limited as to whether veneers can be removed in the future and left unreplaced. In these circumstances, a dental crown may be more appropriate – which can be used in combination with veneers when designing a new smile.

They were the only clinic around me who offered help with my specific issue. Called them in the morning and Chloe was able to get me in, get my X-rays, and get my treatment without me having to run around everywhere. Not saying they can do this as it’s subject to availability but the helpfulness of her, the staff when I was there and the dentists were absolutely impeccable. Never have I been given such amazing service and help from a clinic. Really appreciate what they did for me!

Dr Yvonne King and the team at CLDC are amazing! Dr King was the only dentist who could remove my old veneers using a laser rather than the old and very painful method of grinding them off. She reshaped my original teeth and I am so happy. Deb and the team have also been amazing when the enamel chipped off one of my teeth by fitting me in as an urgent appointment (and calling me on a Sunday!) and the repair is wonderful - you can’t see where the chip is at all. I can’t recommend highly enough :)read more

Today I bumped into someone that I hadn't seen for years. I was told I look amazing! I am 61. For 58 years I was embarrassed to smile because of my teeth and covered my mouth when I spoke. Two and a half years ago Dr King and staff gave me a smile. Now when I bump into friends, I give them a great big grin and they know just how happy and more confident I am. Your generosity and kindness will never be forgotten.Thank you so much Yvonne and girls for making my life a happier one :)
