Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth, transforming colour, shape, and alignment in as little as two to three visits — or in a single day with the world-first Same Day Porcelain Veneers service. Whether you want to address a specific concern or achieve a complete smile transformation, the specialists here will tailor treatment to your goals.

Individual veneer: $2,650 per tooth

Same Day Porcelain Veneers (world first)

Smile Solutions is the only practice in Australia — and the world — offering genuine Same Day Porcelain Veneers, developed by Dr Kia Pajouhesh and master ceramist Greg Karabasis. The service is built around your schedule without any compromise on ceramic quality.

How it works:

1. Morning appointment — Your cosmetic dentist prepares your teeth using minimally invasive techniques and captures precise digital impressions
2. Midday — Smile Lab — Greg Karabasis crafts your permanent porcelain veneers in the in-house ceramics laboratory within the Manchester Unity Building while you relax at a nearby 5-star hotel
3. Return for try-in — You come back to review your new smile; any adjustments are made on the spot
4. Afternoon — permanent bonding — Your finished veneers are permanently bonded the same afternoon

No temporaries. No waiting weeks. No compromise on ceramic quality. This service won the 2024 Australian Business Award for Business Innovation.

About Smile Lab and Greg Karabasis

Greg Karabasis has over 32 years of ceramics experience and is recognised as one of Australia's most accomplished dental ceramists. You get to meet Greg directly before committing to treatment, so you know exactly who is creating your smile. Every ceramic restoration at Smile Solutions is hand-crafted in-house using:

• iTero and 3Shape Trios intraoral scanners
• A fleet of 3D printers for diagnostic models
• A full ceramics studio for hand-layering and final glazing

That level of in-house expertise is rare, and it's what separates Smile Solutions from other practices in Melbourne.

Porcelain crowns

Full-coverage porcelain crowns restore teeth affected by breakage, decay, or wear while delivering strong aesthetics. Every crown is crafted in the Smile Lab from premium ceramic materials with the same attention to detail applied across all treatments here.

From $2,650 per tooth

Composite bonding

Composite bonding applies tooth-coloured resin directly to your teeth to repair chips, close gaps, reshape worn edges, or improve colour — all in a single appointment. No enamel removal is required, and the treatment is fully reversible. It's a practical choice for targeted improvements without the commitment of porcelain veneers.

From $490 per tooth

Composite bonding specialists at Smile Solutions include Dr Amina Barucija.

Composite veneers

Composite veneers are a more accessible, single-appointment alternative to porcelain veneers. They don't match porcelain for longevity or aesthetics, but they are reversible and require minimal to no enamel removal — a sensible option for patients who want meaningful cosmetic improvement with flexibility.

From $950 per tooth

Gum recontouring

Gum recontouring (also called gum contouring or crown lengthening) reshapes your gumline to reduce a gummy smile or create a more balanced, symmetrical appearance. The procedure is performed by specialist periodontists using laser or surgical techniques.

From $850 per tooth

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening at Smile Solutions uses Zoom! WhiteSpeed in-chair technology and Pola professional-grade take-home systems. You can book a single in-chair session or combine both for a more comprehensive result.

Whitening is included in all veneer packages and complimentary with Invisalign when paid in full or on a Humm plan with 50%+ deposit.

Invisalign

Cosmetic teeth straightening with Invisalign is provided by board-registered specialist orthodontists at Smile Solutions. The practice holds Blue Diamond provider status with 9,000+ cases completed.

Specialist orthodontist consultation: $100

Edge work composite bonding

Edge work composite bonding builds up the incisal edges of your teeth using tooth-coloured composite resin. It's typically done at the end of Invisalign or orthodontic treatment, addressing cosmetic details that alignment alone doesn't resolve — the kind of finishing work that makes a real difference to the final result.

Unlike porcelain veneers, edge work bonding adds material to your teeth rather than removing healthy tooth structure. It suits patients who want a polished, symmetrical smile through minimal intervention.

What edge work corrects:

• Pointy or worn canine tips
• Negative space (dark triangles) between the canine and lateral incisor
• Asymmetry between central or lateral incisors
• Lower incisor irregularities and dentine exposure from wear
• Incisal edge wear that becomes visible after alignment correction

Pricing:

• From $500 per tooth for minimal work (upper teeth)
• $750–$950 per tooth for elaborate shaping (upper teeth)
• Approximately $550 per tooth (lower teeth)
• Always includes recontouring of adjacent teeth for overall harmony

Complimentary with Invisalign packages:

• Complimentary cosmetic consultation with resin mock-up at end of orthodontic treatment
• Complimentary whitening (Zoom in-chair or take-home) for all patients on pricing packages, performed two weeks before bonding

Longevity: 7–10 years depending on lifestyle factors. Replacement is straightforward and can be arranged at any time.

Edge work composite bonding is available on a patient-request basis and is never pushed as a requirement. Payment plans are available through Payright, Humm, or MyDentaPlan.
