Porcelain Veneers in London

Are your teeth stained, chipped, or not aligned on top of each other? Veneers are a good choice. They look like natural teeth and don’t need a major procedure. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps when braces are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can bring it into line with the others. Or it can fix discoloration.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-coloured layers of ceramic that are carefully bonded to the front surface of your teeth, similar to a false fingernail, but far stronger, more natural-looking and designed to last.

At our holistic dental practice in London, we take a whole-body approach to smile design. Our porcelain veneers are not only created to enhance the appearance of your smile, but also to support healthy function, bite balance and long-term oral wellbeing where needed.

We can customise the shape, colour and size of your veneers to complement your facial features, personality and natural smile. Veneers can help teeth appear longer, more symmetrical or more evenly spaced, while still looking beautifully natural. We have an in house dental technician technician Richard who can meet you to discuss changes and ensure that they blend in with your smile.

FAQs

Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment. They can greatly improve your smile. They are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They improve your teeth’ appearance by covering chips, stains, and gaps.

Porcelain veneers have many benefits, including:

  • Improved appearance of teeth
  • Durability and strength
  • Stain resistance
  • Minimal tooth reduction
  • Long-lasting results
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years. Care includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. However, they may need to be replaced sooner if they are damaged, you have gum recession exposing the edge or your grind your teeth.
No, the process of getting porcelain veneers is typically not painful. However, some patients may feel sensitivity during the prep phase when a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth. If you prefer we can use local anaesthetic during this preparation stage. You may be a candidate for Durathinveneers which involve no drilling at all, ask your dentist for more information.
The process of getting porcelain veneers typically takes three appointments. The first appointment is a consultation. We will discuss your desires and meet the technician to talk about shapes and colours. The second is the preparation, while the final appointment involves the placement of the veneers. This can take as little as 10 days.
Porcelain veneers need regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups to keep them looking good and lasting long. It is also important to avoid biting hard objects or using teeth as tools, as this can damage the veneers. If you do grind your teeth then a custom-made mouthguard is made to protect both your teeth and your new veneers.
Yes, porcelain veneers can be removed, but the process can be complex and may result in damage to the underlying tooth. Discuss the risks and benefits of veneer removal with your dentist before deciding.
Good candidates for porcelain veneers have healthy teeth and gums. They have cosmetic concerns, like chips, stains, or gaps in their teeth. It is important to have a consultation with our dentist to determine if porcelain veneers are the right option for you.
Veneer costs vary. They depend on the type, number, and how fast you need them. At the first consultation, we will give you a detailed estimate. It will include payment options.
The first step of fitting veneers is to prepare the tooth or teeth for them. The dentist may remove a tiny bit of enamel from the surface of the tooth and then take an impression or scan, which will be sent off to a laboratory. At our laboratory, the veneer is crafted according to the dentist’s instructions and records. The porcelain material is strong yet thin, making it an ideal fit for teeth veneers.
 
After the lab makes your custom veneers, you’ll have a second appointment to fit them to your teeth. To completely secure them in place, the dentist will bond or cement them with a special adhesive onto your natural teeth. After these treatments have been completed, you’ll be free to enjoy the benefits of veneers!
We guarantee them for 12 months if you attend your recall and hygiene visits. This excludes damage from decay or trauma.
