You’re listening to Way FM 105.3—your positive alternative.
Now, when we think of a “Hollywood smile,” a lot of people think veneers… but is that really the only reason people get them? Dr Bing from Innova Dental is here to set the record straight. Welcome back, Dr Bing!

Dr Bing:
Hi Glenn—it’s always great to have a chat!

Glenn Hartas:
Alright, let’s start with the basics. What are dental veneers?

Dr Bing:
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that go over the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can fix chips, gaps, discolouration, protect worn edges, and even correct minor alignment. Think of it as a way to reshape and refresh your smile, without major surgery.

Glenn Hartas:
So they’re not just for celebrities?

Dr Bing:
Not at all! These days, we see everyday people teachers, tradies, parents, professionals choosing veneers to boost their confidence. It’s not about perfection, it’s about creating a smile that fits you.

Glenn Hartas:
And are veneers very obvious-looking?

Dr Bing:
Definitely not when done well. At Innova Dental, we try to design veneers to look natural, subtle, and balanced. We work closely with each patient to choose the shape, shade, and style that suits their face—not a one-size-fits-all look.

Glenn Hartas:
So how do you know if veneers are the right option?

Dr Bing:
It starts with a consultation. We’ll assess your smile, chat about your goals, and explore what’s possible. Sometimes veneers can be a good option, other times we may suggest whitening, Invisalign, and resin bonding instead. I think it’s important that we personalise everything based on your needs.

Glenn Hartas:
And what about cost? That’s usually the elephant in the room.

Dr Bing:
Totally fair question, and we make that part clear to you too. We are transparent with our estimates, offer flexible payment options, and make sure there are no surprises.

Glenn Hartas:
So for anyone who would like to improve their smile, what’s the first step?

Dr Bing:
Book a smile consultation with us. We’ll work with you to understand what you’re after, go through treatment options, so you can make an informed decision. Just visit innovadental.com.au or call the practice!

Glenn Hartas:
That’s Dr Bing from Innova Dental—bringing confidence, one smile at a time. Thanks, Dr Bing!

Dr Bing:
Thanks Glenn!
