Why Choose Us?
We utilise Digital Smile Design technology (DSD) for designing your veneers.
Dr Lily Taheri is the only qualified Master of DSD in Western Australia and is credentialed for the use of DSD in her practice, having trained in New York with Dr Christian Coachman, the renowned founder of Digital Smile Design.
We are Orofacial artists.
With extensive training in facial aesthetics we will take into account much more than your teeth. We will take photos and 3D digital scans of your teeth, gums, jaw, lips and your face to create a 3D model. Then, with the help of digital diagnostic software, we will work with you to design your smile, based on your unique face shape, oral health and desired results.
You can test-drive your new smile prior to starting any treatment.
Using 3D printed temporary mock-ups from your digital design allows the finished result to be seen and physically worn by you rather than just imagined before starting or commitment to any treatment.
You can change & modify the design before even touching your teeth.
You as the co-author of your new smile will work with Dr Lily to modify colour, shape, and length to create your ideal smile prior to starting any procedure, giving you peace of mind about the end results.
We use Smile donator technology for our designs.
We use natural prototypes from our digital library of various natural forms and shapes that can be placed over the top of your teeth and as a result you will get natural-looking and brighter teeth, which are balanced in shape and size, allowing your smile to look entirely natural.
More accurate & predictable outcomes.
Having the digital frame of your new smile we will be able to direct our master ceramists to create the exact replication of your tested design. This takes the guesswork out of your dental treatment and gives more predictability over the finished results.
Porcelain & Composite Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are the gold standard for cosmetic dentistry. They can cover chipped and broken teeth, by bonding wafer-thin shells (0.3 – 1.00 mm) of hand-made porcelain over your existing teeth, thus creating a perfectly natural appearance and enhancing your smile.
Porcelain veneers are also stain-resistant, so they will maintain their bright white colour even with regular exposure to coffee, tea, and red wine. If you are considering dental veneers, be sure to consult with a qualified cosmetic dentist to determine if they are the right choice for you.
Composite Veneers are composed of engineered resin and other materials which adhere to the outer surface of your teeth, and they have a different and possibly less natural appearance. They are less durable than porcelain veneers, with more chance of chipping and staining.

Our Unique Porcelain Veneers Smile Makeover Process
Discovering Your Dream Smile With Initial Consultation And Personalised Digital Smile Design
All our smile makeover cases begin with a consultation. It begins with the most important person, you. This is where we listen to your story, your concerns, your smile aspirations and your goals. Your facial composition will be meticulously examined, by taking alignment, symmetry and proportion into consideration.
Measurements are taken of your lips, face shape and the arrangement of your teeth. Three dimensional photos & videos of every angle of your mouth are scanned digitally by an intra-oral scanner and the data is imported into our exclusive DSD software to start designing your dream smile.
Test Drive & Trial Of Your Design
Now our unique protocol gives you a chance to actually test drive your new smile before committing to any treatment. It’s a world first & something we are very proud of as DSD certified Master clinicians.
Before a single dental intervention takes place, we use high precision printing technology to create a mock-up of your new smile that has been designed for you. A prototype that you can wear, see and feel! It’s a life changing moment that gives you a glimpse of the emotional impact of your new smile on the rest of your life.
The simulation also allows us to thoroughly communicate the outcome of the treatment with you. This allows our patients to feel confident in their treatment by seeing the simulated end result and provide their feedback and apply any modifications as desired before treatment begins. If you are happy with the design then we will tailor a personalised treatment plan for you which suits you best.
Preparation Stage And Temporary Veneers Application
At this appointment, we will prepare your teeth for fitting of your final Porcelain veneers based on your approved design. Our design protocols are based on new additive & biomimetic dentistry principles which makes our veneer preps minimally invasive to your natural tooth structure.
Once the preparations are completed, new impressions from your teeth and bite will be taken to be sent off to our master ceramists for handcrafting your final veneers. You will walk out with your temporary veneers which are placed on your prepped teeth. At this appointment, we further discuss and decide on the shade of your final veneers.
Try In / Cementation
Once your final Porcelain Veneers are completed by our nationally renowned master ceramist, we will gently remove your temporary veneers and try in your final veneers with a temporary cement, so you get an opportunity to review your new smile before permanently cementing them in. Once both you and your dentist are completely happy with the fit and aesthetics of your new Porcelain Veneers, we will permanently cement your new Veneers and you’re ready to smile to the world.
How To Care And Maintenance Your Composite Veneers
After having composite veneers, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, this includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoiding hard, crunchy or sticky foods can help to prolong the life of the veneers.
And also it’s important to avoid biting on hard objects, such as pens or fingernails, and to avoid using teeth as tools, such as opening bottles or packages. These activities can cause the veneers to chip or break.
It’s also important to note that composite veneers may require touch-ups or repairs over time, depending on the wear and tear they experience. Regular dental check-ups can help to ensure that the veneers are in good condition and to address any issues that may arise.

What Are Dental Veneers?
The cost of composite veneers can vary depending on factors such as the number of veneers needed, the location of the dental practice, and the experience of the dentist. On average, the cost of a composite veneer is typically lower than that of a porcelain veneer. Many dental insurance plans do not cover the cost of composite veneers, as they are considered to be cosmetic procedures.
