Clinical Outcome
Multiple porcelain veneers were placed to address spacing, shape irregularities and discolouration. Clinical assessment revealed improved tooth appearance. The patient maintained appropriate oral hygiene practices following treatment completion.
Individual treatment outcomes vary significantly. Veneers can address spacing, shape and colour concerns, though results depend on underlying tooth colour and preparation depth. Veneers require permanent tooth preparation and may experience debonding or chipping over time. No guarantees can be made about specific outcomes for any individual patient.
Frequently Asked Questions for Greenvale and Craigieburn Patients
Can veneers fix spacing and colour at the same time?
Porcelain veneers can simultaneously address spacing, discolouration and shape concerns. Veneer width closes gaps whilst custom shade selection addresses colour. The number required depends on extent of spacing and which teeth need correction.
How do porcelain veneers hide discolouration?
Porcelain veneers cover tooth surfaces with ceramic shells that mask underlying discolouration. The opacity and shade determine coverage effectiveness. Severe discolouration may require thicker veneers. Underlying tooth colour still influences final appearance, particularly at margins.
Will veneers make my teeth look fake?
Veneer appearance depends on shade selection, shape design and facial characteristics. Modern porcelain can replicate natural tooth appearance when properly fabricated. However, perception varies between observers. Very bright shades may appear less natural than slightly varied tones.

This has to be the best dental practice I have ever been to (and I’ve been to a few over the years)! Have attended both Sunbury and most recently the Bacchus Marsh Dental House. All the Staff are wonderful. I see Dr. Fong and he is amazing. He makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. He is very personable and always make me laugh. Thanks also to the lovely Hannah who assisted when I had my recent procedure done.

Not just any old dental clinic, made to feel right at Home as soon as I walked in the door. Friendly and caring team and love the color purple throughout!

Had my first visit to Sunbury Dental House last week – they promise a gentle approach and having a crown prep done by Dr Fong after cracking a tooth, I’ve felt comfortable during my dental appointment. Being able to watch a movie during treatment certainly helped! Looking forward to my return visit in a few weeks!
