Porcelain veneers & smile makeovers – Melbourne

Smile Solutions | Manchester Unity Building, Melbourne CBD

Smile Solutions is Melbourne's most experienced cosmetic dental practice and home to Australia's most recognised smile transformation programme. With 43,654+ porcelain veneers and crowns completed, an in-house master ceramist with 32 years of experience, and the world's first Same Day Porcelain Veneers™ developed right here in our Melbourne studio, we deliver clinical excellence that no other practice in Australia can match.

Our practice spans five floors and the tower of the heritage-listed Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street, right at the heart of Melbourne's CBD. If you're exploring porcelain veneers, this is where Australia's most demanding smile makeovers come to life, with a gentle and caring approach every step of the way.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic, typically 0.3–0.7 mm thick, bonded to the front surface of your teeth using an adhesive system that creates a biochemical and mechanical bond with your enamel. Each veneer is custom-crafted to complement the shape, size, and colour of your ideal smile, because your smile is uniquely yours.

Only TGA-approved materials are used at Smile Solutions. Every veneer is handcrafted in our in-house ceramic studio at 230 Collins Street, the very same building as our practice, by ceramists who work exclusively for Smile Solutions and never take on external work. That's a level of dedication and accountability you simply won't find elsewhere.

Veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:

• Discolouration and staining that doesn't respond to whitening
• Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Mild misalignment and uneven smile lines
• Teeth that are irregularly shaped or worn from grinding

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–20 years. Clinical studies show a 95.5% ten-year cumulative survival rate, making them a sound, evidence-based long-term investment in your confidence and oral health.

Smile Solutions' in-house advantage

What sets a Smile Solutions smile makeover apart from any other practice in Australia is our commitment to world-class care, anchored by our in-house ceramic studio and master ceramist.

Greg Karabasis, Dip Dental Technology (RMIT), former VP of the Victorian Crown and Bridge Society, with 32 years of experience and accreditations with Noritake, Ivoclar, Straumann, Sirona, and Exocad, handcrafts your veneers personally in our Melbourne studio. Using advanced multi-layering techniques, Greg achieves the natural translucency, opalescence, and fluorescence that make a truly lifelike smile. Unlike practices that outsource to external laboratories, sometimes offshore, your veneers are crafted by a dedicated master ceramist who is available to meet with you before your treatment even begins.

This level of personalised treatment is genuinely rare. Most Melbourne cosmetic practices rely on external commercial labs where your case is handled by rotating technicians. At Smile Solutions, Greg crafts every veneer himself, ensuring consistency, accountability, and the highest possible standard of artistry from the very first shell to the last. When you choose Smile Solutions, you're choosing experienced specialists who are invested in your result just as much as you are.
