Why our Veneers Look So Natural (And Others Don’t)
If you’ve been thinking about getting porcelain veneers but are worried they’ll look fake or bulky… you’re not alone.
We’ve all seen those oversized, ultra-white smiles that don’t quite match the person’s face. And unfortunately, that’s what happens when veneers are mass-produced or handled without artistic detail. But cosmetic dentistry — when done right — is something entirely different.
Dr Patricia Vivaldi is a cosmetic dentist with 24 years of experience and advanced training in smile aesthetics. At Vivaldi Smile Artisans, we design smiles that are meant to blend seamlessly with your natural features. Our goal? To enhance your smile — not to replace it with something that looks artificial.
So, what makes our veneers different?
🖌️ Every veneer is handcrafted
We collaborate with some of Australia’s best ceramists — true dental artists — who hand-layer each porcelain veneer following the smile design we create. This gives the final result depth, translucency, and texture — just like natural enamel. You’ll never see “blocky”, square or “one-size-fits-all” teeth here.
🧬 Smile design is completely personalised
We design your veneers based on your:
- Facial proportions
- Age and gender
- Lip line and natural tooth display
- Skin tone and eye colour
- Personality and lifestyle goals
Your smile should feel like you, just elevated.

👨⚕️ You’re treated by a dentist who values both science and artistry
We don’t just place veneers — we plan, sculpt, and fine-tune them with absolute precision. From smile design to final fit, every step is done with your confidence and comfort in mind.
Why this matters:
Porcelain veneers are a long-term investment in your smile. You want them to last, feel natural, and give you confidence every time you look in the mirror, whilst keeping the your teeth strong and healthy.
