Veneers
One goal. Three pathways. Your choice.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted restorations bonded to the front surface of teeth to transform their shape, colour, and proportion. At our Southport clinic, we offer four veneer materials — porcelain, zirconia, hybrid, and composite — each with distinct advantages suited to your clinical needs, aesthetic goals, and budget. The cost of dental veneers on the Gold Coast starts from $600 per tooth, depending on the material and complexity of your smile makeover.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are wafer-thin restorations — ceramic or resin — bonded to the visible surface of teeth to reshape their colour, form, proportion, and symmetry. They are one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry treatments on the Gold Coast.
When designed correctly, veneers do not look like veneers. They replicate the translucency and texture of natural enamel while correcting imperfections that teeth whitening, bonding, or clear aligners cannot address alone.
Choosing the best cosmetic dentist for veneers means finding a clinician who treats the decision as clinical, not purely cosmetic. At ArtSmiles in Southport, we assess your bite, enamel thickness, parafunctional habits, and long-term maintenance needs before recommending any treatment.
Not every aesthetic concern requires veneers. In some cases, whitening, orthodontics, or composite bonding is more appropriate. The correct solution is determined through structured planning. Never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Common Indications
- Discolouration that does not respond to whitening
- Worn, shortened, or chipped teeth
- Cracked or fractured edges
- Mild misalignment or irregular spacing
- Gaps between anterior teeth
- Teeth that appear too small or disproportionate
- Smile asymmetry affecting overall harmony

Our Process for Dental Veneers
Every veneer case follows a structured clinical workflow. The number of appointments depends on the material chosen and the complexity of your case.
Consultation and Smile Design
Clinical assessment, digital photography, impressions, and a discussion of your goals. We plan the ideal shape, shade, and proportions before any preparation begins.
Tooth Preparation
Conservative enamel reduction is performed under local anaesthetic. Temporary veneers are placed while your final restorations are fabricated in the laboratory.
Try-In and Approval
Your veneers are tried in for fit, shape, and colour. Adjustments are made before final bonding to ensure you are satisfied with the result.
Bonding and Finishing
Veneers are permanently bonded using dental adhesive resin. Final adjustments to bite and contacts are completed, and care instructions are provided.
Composite veneers are typically completed in a single appointment as they are sculpted directly onto the tooth without laboratory fabrication.

Questions
How much do veneers cost in Australia?
The cost of dental veneers in Australia depends on the material. At ArtSmiles on the Gold Coast, composite veneers start from $600 per tooth, while porcelain and zirconia veneers start from $1,477 per tooth. The final price is confirmed after a clinical assessment that considers the number of teeth, preparation required, and complexity of your case.
Are veneers suitable for everyone?
Not every patient is an ideal candidate. Veneers require sufficient healthy enamel for bonding, controlled bite forces, and healthy gums. During your consultation at our Southport clinic, we assess your occlusion, gum health, and expectations to determine whether veneers — and which type — are the right solution for you.
Can veneers fix crooked or misaligned teeth?
Veneers can improve the appearance of mild misalignment. However, significant orthodontic issues are better addressed with clear aligners or braces before cosmetic work. Correct treatment sequencing protects both your result and long-term tooth health. Learn more about our clear aligner options.
Does health fund cover the cost of veneers?
Dental veneers are generally not covered by health funds, as they are considered a cosmetic procedure. Some restorative components of a treatment plan may attract a rebate. We recommend checking with your fund and can provide a detailed treatment plan with a full cost breakdown to assist.
How much is a full set of veneers?
A full set typically covers 6 to 10 upper teeth and sometimes the lower arch. At ArtSmiles, a full set of composite veneers may start from around $3,600 (6 teeth), while porcelain veneers for 6 teeth start from approximately $8,862. Every case is different, so we provide an itemised quote after your smile assessment.
Do veneers require shaving the teeth?
Porcelain and zirconia veneers usually require minimal, conservative enamel reduction to create space for the ceramic shell. The amount is carefully planned with digital smile design to preserve as much natural structure as possible. Composite veneers are often additive only — no enamel removal may be required.
How do I care for my veneers?
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and attend regular professional reviews. Avoid biting hard objects. If you grind or clench, a custom night guard is strongly recommended to protect your investment.
Can I finance my veneers with a payment plan?
Yes. ArtSmiles offers flexible payment plans through our finance partners, allowing you to spread the cost of your veneers over time. We also offer preferential pricing for ArtSmiles Club members. Visit our finance page or learn about our membership benefits for details.
