Veneers in Hampton Park, VIC
Are you happy with the appearance of your smile? Perhaps you have chipped teeth that impact your smile? Maybe oddly shaped teeth that don’t appear symmetrical keep you from sharing
your smile?
The good news is that dental veneers can cover all these concerns and help you achieve the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted!
What Are the Benefits of Veneers?
A veneer fits over the front surface of your tooth to cover, protect and reshape the tooth in some cases. Designed to improve the size, shade and shape of your teeth, veneers create a more uniform, symmetrical and beautiful smile.
At Hampton Park Dental, our dentists work with two types of dental veneers to create your new smile.
Composite Veneers
Using tooth-coloured composite resin, which is the same material used for dental fillings, our dentists can add and blend the material to your tooth with this minimally invasive procedure.
We can often complete your new smile in one appointment, and composite veneers tend to be less expensive than porcelain veneers created in a dental lab.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin porcelain slivers customised to fit over your tooth’s front surface and blend seamlessly with it for a smooth and beautiful finish.
Porcelain veneers do require us to remove a minimal amount of tooth enamel to create a snug fit, so they are considered a permanent procedure. However, besides aesthetics, they also add strength and durability to your smile.
They will require at least two appointments with your dentist and around two to three weeks to complete, since a trusted dental lab handcrafts your new veneers.
What Are the Problems That Tooth Veneers Can Fix?
Whether you choose porcelain or composite veneers, they can help fix a wide range of minor smile flaws, such as:
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Reshaping teeth for a more uniform appearance
- Restoring chipped teeth
- Covering stained or discoloured teeth
- Lengthening excessively worn teeth
- Eliminating slight misalignment issues
Our dentists can repair one tooth with a dental veneer or completely redesign your smile with six to eight of them.
How Can I Get Started on My New Smile?
If you’d like more information about what’s possible for your smile, the first step is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists. Our dentists spend a lot of time gathering information about your teeth with x-rays, photos and an exam. They’ll also discuss your goals with you so they can make the best personalised treatment recommendations for your smile.
You’ll leave the evaluation with a clear idea of your treatment plan, how long it will take to achieve your new smile, and what the cost will be. We work with private health insurance, third-party financing for payment plans, and bulk billing to help you easily fit your treatment comfortably into your budget.
We would love to discuss your treatment options with you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:
- You or at least one family member have superannuation funds
- You don't have personal health fund insurance
- It would be a financial hardship to cover the cost of your treatment with personal resources
Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.
Note: Accessing superannuation for dental treatment is subject to eligibility and approval by the relevant government agency. We can assist with the process, but approval is not guaranteed.
Other Convenient Payment Options
If early super access is not an option for you, we do offer other options that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental care, such as:
- Preferred provider status with several private health funds, including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, CBHS
- Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
- Medicare Child Dental Benefit - Bulk billing
- HICAPS claims processing
Eligibility for health fund benefits, payment plans, and superannuation access varies depending on the provider and individual circumstances. Terms, conditions, and lending criteria apply. Please check with your health fund or finance provider to confirm your eligibility before treatment.
If you need help sorting out the best payment arrangement for your dental care, please get in touch with your Hampton Park dentist and speak with one of our knowledgeable and helpful team members.
The cost of dental treatment depends on the type of procedures you need, and it's very specific to each patient's unique needs. The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to determine your own treatment needs.
During your evaluation, our dentists discuss your oral health goals with you and gather information about your smile and dental health with an exam, x-rays, and photos of your teeth. After your evaluation, you'll clearly understand your treatment needs and options, what your timeline looks like for finishing, and the cost.
