Smile Design Brisbane
Porcelain Crowns are used to rebuild and strengthen weak teeth with a strong cover that entirely lies over the top of a tooth, restoring broken down teeth to their ideal anatomical shape and colour, while protecting the remaining tooth structure underneath.
Porcelain Crowns are indicated to strengthen broken down teeth and prevent teeth from fracturing.

Crowns and Veneers Brisbane
A dental crown is made from porcelain to restore a tooth which is badly decayed, cracked, or damaged. It is custom-made and fitted to completely cover or cap the damaged tooth, restoring its natural appearance and function.
What is digital smile design?
With Digital Smile Design the relationship between your teeth, gums, lips and other features are analysed to determine their ideal look and function, and advanced digital technology is used to plan your treatment virtually.
The smile can be precisely planned, and allow your dentist to show you what your teeth and smile will look like after your treatment before beginning.
What is an “ideal smile”?
An “ideal smile” is one that focuses on some fundamental aesthetic principles:
*The amount of tooth & gum structure shown when you smile naturally
*The position of the biting edge of your front teeth, determining the ‘length’ of your tooth on display
*The ratios of length to width of a tooth
*That your smile reflects the “golden proportion” which governs aesthetics all over the universe.

Dental Crowns at Brisbane Smile Boutique
The owner of this smile had crowns placed elsewhere some years ago that she was unhappy with. The crowns were removed and three weeks later her new smile was ready. It was a difficult case due to the long crown heights, and the teeth being quite splayed out, which was solved by using some pink porcelain at the gum line, and splinting the teeth so that they would not move out of position in the future.
Porcelain Veneers
The owner of this smile had porcelain veneers placed in America, which were not to her liking. The old porcelain veneers were removed and new porcelain veneers were made in the laboratory, and bonded within three weeks.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made of ultra-thin ceramic porcelain that is permanently bonded to your natural tooth enamel. Brisbane Smile Boutique take care of some of the world's best smile makeovers.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.

Veneers may enhance the look of your smile, and are a thin layer of dental material which are placed over your teeth. As a result, they improve the aesthetic look of your teeth and may help protect your teeth from further damage. Depending on the material, veneers can last over 10 years if you regularly maintain your oral hygiene.
Generally, veneers can be made from two different types of materials: porcelain and composite resin. Composite veneers consist of composite resin, a white filling material which are shaped directly inside your mouth. Porcelain veneers are made from porcelain which is stronger and more durable than composite resin and is made through a laboratory.

Veneers enhance, improve or change the appearance of teeth.
Porcelain veneers usually requires some slight to moderate tooth and enamel preparation to allow the best possible contour and for a natural appearance of the veneers.
A veneer covers the outside of your tooth which is the part that shows when you smile. They are used to visually improve your teeth and are suitable for:
* Darkened or discoloured for any reason
* Chipped or worn down
* Crooked, uneven, poorly positioned
* Widely spaced, with gaps between teeth
TREATMENT PROCESS OF DENTAL VENEERS
The procedure requires three phases but you only require 2 appointments:
Appointment 1
* Preparing (drilling) the tooth to make enough room for the porcelain veneers.
* Making impressions (using a digital scanner or impression material) of the prepared teeth, opposing teeth, and the bite relationship
* Selecting a shade for the smile
* Making temporary restorations that will remain in place while the veneers are being made in the laboratory
Laboratory Stage
* Fabricate and polish the veneers
Appointment 2
* Remove the temporary or provisional veneers
* Carefully bond the veneers onto the teeth.
* Check the bite relationship
LONGEVITY OF VENEERS
Porcelain veneers can last on average between 10 to 17 years. However, this can be extended with good oral hygiene (especially daily flossing), controlling night grinding habits with a night guard, and regular dental visits. Anything that will break your natural teeth can break the porcelain veneers, for example, ice cubes. Porcelain veneers cannot be repaired easily if they’re damaged or if the gum shrinks away from the top edge, so very good oral hygiene is required to keep them looking good.
Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are custom-built porcelain shells that bond to the front and biting surface of teeth. Porcelain veneers are very conservative, and often require only minimal removal of tooth-structure.
Under the right circumstances porcelain veneers are extremely durable, long-lasting restorations. They can alter the shape, colour, length and width of a tooth, achieving a dramatic difference to your smile.
A veneer is a thin shell of ceramic and is strong because it is bonded to underlying enamel.
With dramatically discoloured teeth then crowns may still be preferable over veneers. This is because crowns are generally thicker so can hide severe discolourations.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORCELAIN AND RESIN VENEERS
Veneers can be made from porcelain or from composite resin materials. Resin veneers require removal of less of the tooth surface, and sometimes no removal at all, before placement. It depends on the bite, dental health, condition of the teeth, regular dental checks and lifestyle habits, as to whether they will be suitable.
If the entire front of the tooth needs to either be repaired or cosmetically improved, one option might be a porcelain veneer. A veneer is a very thin, custom designed shell of tooth coloured materials that covers the front surface of a tooth to improve a smile. They are bonded to the front of the teeth to change the colour, shape, length, alignment and spacing of your teeth with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are more stain resistant than resin veneers and have light reflecting properties that are more like natural teeth.
Veneers usually require two appointments. The first visit is to prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of tooth structure from the front surface of the teeth and an impression is taken to make a copy of the teeth. The amount of tooth structure that needs to be removed depends on a few factors such as the alignment, length, shape, spacing and any discolourations in your natural teeth. Temporary veneers are placed on your teeth, while the case and photos are sent to the lab for two weeks, and at the second visit is to fit the veneers and cement them.
We are able to achieve a natural look with porcelain veneers because they are thin and there is no metal to hide, which was common with the way porcelain crowns used to be made.
The aim is to produce a natural smile with work that is undetectable and durable.
Invisalign followed by composite resin veneers
Resin Veneers for a perfect smile at Brisbane Smile Boutique Dentists
Invisalign® consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every week for a new set. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position.
Invisalign® can be used to treat a wide variety of issues, including overcrowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, cross bites and overbites.
Tooth bonding is the use of a tooth coloured plastic adhesive, called composite resin that your dentist will shape and polish to match the surrounding teeth. By bonding the restorative materials onto your teeth, dentists can alter or change the appearance of individual teeth and improve your smile.
TOOTH BONDING APPLICATIONS
Repair chips and cracks in teeth and broken areas
Close gaps between teeth
Reshape teeth
Conceal staining and discolouration
Repair a broken front tooth
Tooth bonding may be performed in a single visit and for one tooth takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. It tends to be less expensive than other cosmetic treatments, is relatively painless and is usually performed without anaesthesia.

Porcelain veneers are very fine, custom made tooth coloured shells, made from pressed porcelain technology and custom glazed, and seamlessly bonded to, and cover the front of prepared and sometimes even unprepared teeth. We are able to determine how much space is required for the veneers using experience, dental software and 3D printing of models. Veneers are used to repair cracks, chips, uneven shape, breakage or discolourations. Porcelain veneers cover the front surface area of teeth and serve a functional, as well as an aesthetic purpose by protecting the outer layer of a damaged tooth. They are a more conservative treatment than a crown and may be used as an alternative, but only if the underlying tooth is strong and healthy.
Porcelain resists staining naturally due to its non porous composition, keeping teeth beautiful and natural looking for a long time to come.
Sometimes we are unable to place porcelain veneers if there is damage to the inside of the tooth, needing more strength and protection in the bite, or if the tooth has gone very grey. In this case a three quarter porcelain crown would be placed for greater strength and better masking of the underlying tooth shade, and often whitening is recommended to match in with a lighter base shade.
Fees for porcelain veneers are $1900 per tooth, and porcelain crowns are $2300 per tooth. In office tooth whitening is $690.
