Chipped, stained, or gapped teeth? Transform your smile in just one visit with affordable composite veneers at Springfield Dental.
What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-coloured composite resin, similar to the material used for dental fillings. This resin is applied directly to your teeth to enhance their appearance.
At Springfield Dental, our composite veneers are expertly hand-sculpted by our experienced dentists during a single appointment, eliminating the need for external lab work like porcelain veneers. This allows for a more streamlined, cost-effective treatment with immediate results. Composite veneers are effective for correcting imperfections such as chipped or stained teeth, gaps between teeth, and misaligned teeth.
Who is suitable for composite veneers?
At Springfield Dental, we use composite veneers to address a range of aesthetic and functional concerns, often completed in a single visit. Composite veneers may be suitable for:
Stubborn Staining and Discolouration
Composite veneers can cover deep stains or internal tooth discolouration that do not respond to professional whitening. A thin layer of tooth-coloured composite is applied to the front surface of the tooth to improve colour and create a brighter, more even smile.
Patients with Chipped Teeth
Composite veneers can restore damaged teeth by covering chips or cracks, giving them a smooth, natural appearance and strengthening them.
Small gaps between teeth
If you have small gaps between your teeth, composite veneers can seamlessly fill them, creating a more uniform smile.
Misshapen or Uneven Teeth
For teeth that are too small, too large, or uneven, composite veneers can reshape them to create a more balanced and symmetrical smile.
Worn-Down Teeth
Over time, teeth can become worn down due to grinding or other factors. Composite veneers restore their natural appearance and functionality, giving you back a youthful smile.
Mild Crowding
Composite veneers help improve the appearance of mildly crowded or uneven front teeth. By carefully shaping and adding tooth-coloured composite, our dentist can create a more balanced and aligned look without extensive dental treatment.
Composite Veneers Cost in Brisbane
At Springfield Dental, the cost of composite veneers starts from $800 per tooth. For those looking to treat multiple teeth, our composite veneers 6-tooth package are available for $3,000.
The 6-tooth package is our most popular option for Brisbane patients, as it covers the teeth most visible when you smile, offering a significantly reduced rate per tooth.

Composite Veneers Process at Springfield Dental
Consultation and Assessment
Your transformation begins with a comprehensive smile evaluation. We discuss your aesthetic goals, focusing on your preferred shade, shape, and tooth length. Our dentists perform a clinical exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy, providing the perfect foundation for your veneers.
Preparation
Composite veneers are a conservative, non-invasive treatment. Unlike porcelain options, we aim to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. We simply “roughen” the enamel slightly, creating a professional-grade bond without the need for heavy drilling or local anaesthetic.
Application
Our dentists hand-apply a high-quality, tooth-coloured resin directly to your teeth. We meticulously layer and sculpt the material to hide imperfections, close gaps, and straighten your smile, ensuring the new shape perfectly complements your facial symmetry.
Bonding
Once the desired shape is achieved, we use a specialised high-intensity light to “cure” and harden the resin instantly. This bonding process fuses the composite material to your natural tooth, creating a durable, integrated surface that is strong enough for daily biting and chewing.
Polishing
We trim any excess material to ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable. Finally, we use professional polishing discs to buff the veneers to a high-gloss, lifelike shine that mimics the translucency of natural tooth enamel.

How to Care for Your Composite Veneers for Long-Lasting Results
To ensure your new smile stays bright and durable, follow these essential aftercare steps from our team at Springfield Dental:
Gentle Brushing – Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste to avoid scratching the resin surface.
Floss Daily – Maintain gum health and prevent decay at the margins of your veneers by flossing every day.
Non-Alcoholic Mouthwash – Choose alcohol-free rinses, as alcohol can potentially soften the bonding agents over time.
Stain Prevention – Composite resin is more porous than porcelain. Minimise consumption of dark liquids like coffee, red wine, and turmeric-heavy foods to prevent surface staining.
Avoid “hard” bites – do not use your veneered teeth to bite directly into hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, as this can cause the resin to chip.
Wear a Nightguard – If you have a habit of grinding or clenching (bruxism), we recommend a custom-fitted nightguard to protect your veneers from excessive pressure.
Professional Polishing – Visit us every 6 months for a professional clean and polish. We use specialised paste to restore the high-gloss shine and remove surface stains.
