No—when overseen by the clinical team at Tatura Dental Care, both treatments are designed to protect as well as beautify your teeth.
Dentist-Supervised Teeth Whitening
Our whitening gels contain precisely calibrated concentrations of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. We first assess your enamel thickness, existing restorations and any sensitivity issues. A custom-fit tray or in-chair isolation shield keeps gel away from gums and soft tissue. Because the active ingredient penetrates only the outermost microscopic tubules, it removes stain molecules without eroding healthy structure. We also limit exposure time and apply remineralising fluoride or calcium-phosphate products immediately afterwards to strengthen enamel crystals.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers require minimal reshaping—usually 0.3 – 0.5 mm, about the thickness of a fingernail. Digital imaging lets us remove just enough enamel to create space for the veneer while maintaining a strong bonding surface.
The veneers themselves are crafted from lithium-disilicate or feldspathic porcelain, materials similar in hardness to natural enamel and chemically bonded with advanced resin cements. This 'micro-laminate' actually reinforces the front surface, shielding underlying tooth structure from wear and staining.
Personalised Protection Plan
Every smile makeover at Tatura Dental Care includes:
- Comprehensive exam and X-rays to rule out decay or cracks
- Shade and sensitivity mapping so we can adjust gel strength or veneer thickness
- Tailored after-care—desensitising toothpaste, fluoride varnish and regular check-ups to keep enamel strong
