Astrae® Veneers are Dental Boutique’s smartest smile ever, a trademarked veneer process exclusive to us. They are thin shells made from porcelain, designed to cover the front surface of teeth.
They can be a considered treatment to help address cosmetic dental concerns, such as:
The Astrae® veneer process uses digital heat mapping, guided micro-prep and 3D technology to assist in planning treatment and determining how much enamel may need to be adjusted (if any). This approach is advanced and is designed to support conservative preparation of enamel and precise placement of the veneers.
Engineered with cutting edge technology, Astrae™ represents precision, predictability and personalisation in smile design.
This video shows just one section of the treatment process. As with all dental procedures, outcomes vary between individuals. Your dentist will discuss whether Astrae veneers may be suitable for you, along with risks and potential considerations.
With Astrae®, we use advanced digital and 3D imaging to assist in treatment planning. This technology allows dentists to visualise tooth surface detail – helping to decide where reshaping may be required and where enamel can be preserved. The imaging can map your teeth with accuracy — down to one-tenth the width of a human hair. Think of it like using Google Maps before starting a journey: you see the route, plan for detours, and arrive exactly where you need to.
Unlike traditional manual techniques, Astrae’s technology help aims to avoid over prepping where it is not required to do so. The level of planning included helps to tailor the tooth to fit like they were for you.
One of the advantages of Astrae® Veneers is the digital tools that support the treatment planning process. In many cases, a 3D simulation can be created to help illustrate possible treatment approaches. This allows patients to review examples of what may be achievable and ask any questions before deciding whether to proceed.
Guided planning and digital workflows are designed to help dentists prepare each step in advance.
Everyone’s smile is unique to them. Astrae® Veneers use digital tools to consider each patient’s unique dental condition. Factors such as tooth shape, bite, facial structure are assessed as part of the process, allowing dentists to plan your veneer placement with greater detail.
Astrae® Veneers can help deliver a level of personalisation that goes beyond surface-level aesthetics. Digital guides are used to assist the preparation and help minimise unnecessary enamel removal where possible. Helping to retain and preserve your teeth.
We’ll collaborate with you to design, test, and create your smile, guided by your feedback every step of the way.
The Astrae® Veneers process begins with an initial consultation with our dentists, where we tailor a personalised treatment plan to you. We assess your speech, smile, and bite to consider both the function and aesthetic of your smile within our planning. The more detail the better during this appointment as we are hear to listen to you and help provide recommendations that will best suit your concerns.
With Astrae® Veneers, we work closely with you to design and mock up your smile digitally as well as in your mouth. This allows you to assess their shape, colour, size, and feel, and our team will refine the final product based on your feedback.
Once your custom porcelain veneers are ready, we get your teeth ready and fit your final ones with our guides. You’ll have the chance to review, tweak and approve your new smile before we cement.
Traditional veneers have been used in dentistry for decades. The process often involves freehand tooth preparation, which relies on the clinician’s judgement and may vary depending on the case.
Astrae® Veneers use digital heat mapping and custom sequential guides to assist in planning where enamel may need adjustment and where it can be preserved. This approach is designed to support conservative preparation and provide dentists with additional guidance and clarity when placing veneers.
Another difference between the two types of veneer processes is the temporary veneer stage. With traditional veneers, patients typically wear ‘temporary veneers’ made of acrylic for a few weeks while the final porcelain veneers are being made. This trial stage allows for adjustments in shape or size. With Astrae®, digital design tools may be used to create a 3D preview of the proposed veneer design. In some cases, this design can be transferred to the teeth temporarily to provide an example of how the veneers may appear before proceeding to final treatment. It can then be removed and patients will not have to wear temporaries whilst their astrae veneers are being made.

With Astrae® Veneers, your dentist will design your veneers with consideration of your existing teeth, facial features, and preferences. The shape and shade are individually planned for each patient, so the outcome is intended to complement your natural appearance.
If you already have veneers but are exploring other options, Astrae® Veneers may be appropriate for you. Using digital planning and careful consideration of facial proportions, your dentist can design veneers tailored to your teeth and preferences. The process involves selecting ceramic materials and shapes that are planned to complement your individual features.
It’s common for patients to have questions about how much of the tooth surface is adjusted for veneers. With Astrae® Veneers, dentists use guided planning tools such as digital heat-mapping to assist in determining where preparation may be required. The aim is to conserve as much natural tooth structure as possible, while still allowing the veneer to fit securely.
Astrae® Veneers are made from ceramic materials and planned with digital workflows to help achieve a precise fit. With appropriate care and maintenance, veneers can last for 10-15+ years, although the timeframe varies for each individual. Your dentist will discuss what longevity may be expected in your situation.
The outcomes shown in the videos above are only relevant to these patients and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience. Treatment risks and considerations can be found here.

Astrae® Veneers use digital smile design and guided planning tools to provide a preview of your proposed veneer design directly on your teeth. This allows adjustments to be made before the final veneers are created and, in many cases, reduces the need to wear temporary veneers.
Astrae® uses digital heatmap technology to showcase patients how much (or how little) reshaping of your natural tooth is required – measured down to the mirco-millimeter in most cases. All before we’ve even touched your tooth.
Astrae® Veneers have been designed with the approach of aiming to preserve as much of your real tooth as possible. With Astrae® Veneers, twice the amount of tooth structure can be preserved compared to traditional veneers.
