Chipped, stained, or slightly off-centre teeth can make you second-guess your smile. Maybe you’ve tried whitening, straightening, or just hiding it, but it’s still not quite you. You’re looking for something fast, natural-looking, and tailored.
That’s where veneers in Toowoomba come in. In just a few appointments, we can help you reshape your smile. Whether you're touching up a single tooth or going for a full upgrade, dental veneers can give you a smile that’s ‘natural but even nicer’.
Not at all. Veneers are designed to be comfortable and low-stress. For porcelain veneers, we’ll gently remove a slight layer of enamel under anaesthetic — so you won’t feel a thing. You might notice a little sensitivity afterwards (especially to hot or cold foods), but it usually fades quickly and doesn’t affect daily life. Composite veneers often involve even less prep, and can usually be done in a single visit.
Yes — they are completely safe when applied by a qualified and experienced dentist. At L&R Dentist Toowoomba, all procedures are carried out to the highest clinical standards, using materials and techniques approved by leading dental authorities. We’ll also give you tailored care advice to keep your veneers looking and feeling great for years to come.
Dental veneers are elective, but they’re not just about aesthetics. If you have teeth that are worn or chipped, or if you have a gap between teeth, veneers can help protect them, even out your bite, and improve how your smile functions overall. We’ll always talk through whether veneers (or an alternative like bonding or whitening) are the best fit for your smile and your goals.
We do everything locally, so there's no need to travel to Brisbane or beyond.
Composite veneers are often applied in a single appointment, making them a great option for quick fixes or minor improvements. Porcelain veneers take a bit longer—usually two to three visits—but offer more durability and dramatic, long-lasting results.
Ceramic veneers are handcrafted restorations made in a dental lab. They are ultra-durable, highly stain-resistant, and ideal for more dramatic transformations involving multiple teeth. Our composite veneers are a minimal or no preparation conservative option — to give you the smile you are looking for, at an affordable price.
Our team works together to guide you through which type suits your smile best based on your goals and preferences.

One of the biggest misconceptions about veneers is that they all look too white or too perfect. But great veneers don’t look fake—they just look like you, with a bit more symmetry, brightness, and balance.
Our veneers are thin shells placed on top of your natural teeth, and blend seamlessly with your natural features and facial structure.
Veneers are surprisingly low maintenance.
You’ll still brush and floss like normal, and regular check-ups are essential. The main things to avoid are hard foods (like chewing ice) and habits like nail-biting or using your teeth to open packages—those can damage any smile. Porcelain veneers are extremely strong, but they’re not indestructible. We’ll give you all the info you need to care for them confidently.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more, while composite veneers generally last 4–8 years. Factors like grinding, oral health, and diet can all affect longevity. The good news? If one ever needs replacing, it’s a simple process—and we’re always here to help.
It starts with a conversation. Book a consult with our team, and we’ll chat about what you’d like to change, what’s possible, and how we can help you get there. We have a range of cosmetic and missing teeth options, including implants, dental crowns, and full smile makeovers.
