Veneers London - The Dental Centre London

What are dental veneers?

Do you have a chipped tooth or multiple chipped teeth? Are your teeth otherwise healthy, but the chipped parts make you feel too embarrassed to smile openly?

Veneers in London could be the smile-restoring solution you’ve been looking for – especially if the teeth are also discoloured due to damage from being chipped or cracked.

Dental veneers are thin shell-like layers of material, usually porcelain or ceramic, which are custom-shaped and bonded to the surface of the teeth to complete a cosmetic restoration.

Porcelain veneers are produced in a dental lab and applied to the front surfaces of the teeth, while composite veneers are moulded from composite resin by hand and applied in the dentist’s chair.

Like a false nail over a fingernail, but far more durable and secure, dental veneers protect the natural teeth underneath and disguise cosmetic flaws, giving them a more aesthetically attractive and uniform appearance.

Dental veneers are applied individually, so whether you treat one tooth or multiple, they will be customised to match the colour and opacity of your other teeth and fitted precisely to ensure that your veneers look as natural as possible next to your real teeth.

When you come to The Dental Centre, we can design and apply veneers in London that will improve your smile without sacrificing all of the unique qualities that make it yours.

The Benefits of Veneers

Veneers are such a popular type of cosmetic dentistry because they have so many benefits. If you want a straight, white, and even smile without long and complicated dental procedures, porcelain veneers or composite bonding can deliver just that. 

Some of the countless advantages that come with getting dental veneers include:

  • Confidence boost – if the appearance of your teeth is getting you down, transforming them with veneers can boost your self-esteem, giving you a confident new smile.
  • Individual or multiple teeth – choose a single veneer if there is only one problematic tooth, or place multiple veneers at the same time if you want to transform more teeth.
  • Quick and minimally invasive – treatment is completed in a few appointments over several weeks, with non-surgical procedures and minimal reduction of tooth enamel.
  • Long-lasting solution – the materials used last for a long time when you maintain them well, allowing you to enjoy your new look for 10–15 years before needing replacements.
  • Natural look and feel – matched to the colour and shape of your real teeth, veneers look and function like tooth enamel, so your new smile will appear completely natural.

Comfortable, durable, and practically undetectable, cosmetic dental veneers can restore damaged or unaesthetic teeth to create a strong, healthy, and attractive smile. Empowering you to step out into the world feeling like your best self every day!

Who is suitable for veneers in London?

Cosmetic veneers are designed to change the outer appearance of teeth with minor damage or severe discolouration, making them one of the best options for any patient wanting to correct surface problems that are negatively affecting the way their smile looks.

There are many different conditions that can benefit from veneers, which include:

  • Restoring worn or chipped teeth to a smooth and uniform appearance
  • Covering severe discolouration or cracks for an even white tooth surface
  • Closing spaces between gapped teeth to create a more symmetrical smile
  • Resizing small teeth or reshaping malformed teeth for a harmonious look

There is always the risk of teeth becoming damaged due to an accident, or discolouring or decaying over time due to factors like diet, age, medications, smoking, or teeth grinding.

At The Dental Centre, we don’t judge – we just help you envision the smile you really want, then make it happen with fast and effective veneer solutions. So, why not contact us below to find out whether veneers would be suitable for your teeth?



Reasons for Porcelain Veneers infographic

Porcelain Veneers London

When investing in cosmetic dentistry, many people prefer to go for the premium option, which in this case is porcelain veneers. As the traditional method, they are higher quality, more resilient, and more stain-resistant than the alternative composite veneers.

The porcelain veneers procedure typically requires two to three appointments, if you include the first consultation, where a dentist will examine your teeth to check whether veneers would be suitable and design a treatment plan with you.

The second step after the consultation is for the dentist to prepare the tooth by removing up to 1mm of outer enamel, creating space for the veneer and a rougher surface for it to adhere to. The dentist will then take a mould of your prepared teeth and send it to the dental lab.

You will leave with temporary veneers in the meantime, and once your permanent veneers are ready, you will return to have them cemented to your teeth through light-activated curing. This is a fairly quick procedure involving little to no discomfort.

Porcelain veneers will look like your natural teeth, but better – concealing unsightly chips and staining and allowing you to smile confidently again for many years to come. This material can last for more than a decade when maintained well.

As porcelain is longer-lasting than composite resin, this also means that porcelain veneers in London cost more – but when repairing one or two flawed teeth, they are still a cost-effective investment to achieve a beautiful and natural-looking smile.

The time taken, preparation required, cost, and final appearance will depend on the type of porcelain ceramic veneers you choose, whether that’s feldspathic veneers made from layers of feldspar or Emax veneers made from pressed lithium disilicate.

We offer both of these types of ceramic veneers here at The Dental Centre, in addition to composite bonding veneers to suit all patient needs and budgets. Please visit our porcelain veneers page to learn more about the different options available for these veneers in London.

Composite Veneers London

Should you want to restore the appearance of a chipped or broken tooth quickly, comfortably, and affordably, you’ll find that composite veneers are the less costly alternative to the conventional porcelain version.

This is a form of composite bonding that involves moulding a composite resin material directly over the teeth, rather than manufacturing shell-like covers in a dental lab that will be fitted at a later date.

The composite veneer procedure is minimally invasive compared to the preparation required for porcelain veneers, as the teeth can often be prepared using etching gel rather than drilling – a simpler process that can be less worrying for nervous patients.

Excluding the prior consultation, this procedure also has the benefit of taking a single visit to complete, as the dentist will prepare your teeth, apply the composite resin and sculpt it to the desired shape, then cure and polish it all in the same appointment.

You will choose the shade of the composite when agreeing on your treatment plan, so the colour will match your teeth and the finish will match their natural polish. When you leave the dentist’s chair, your new veneers will completely blend in with the rest of your teeth.

Taking just one appointment, with little to no recovery required, composite veneers in London are ideal for patients with busy day-to-day lives who need fast smile-restoring treatment with immediate results.

If your teeth are chipped, jagged, or discoloured in a way that professional whitening can’t fix, then veneers in London are likely to be just what you need to restore an even white smile. Why wait any longer for the smile you really want?

Whether you’re interested in porcelain veneers or composite veneers, we have plenty of experience in providing both cosmetic dental treatments here at The Dental Centre. Our team will be happy to discuss the most suitable option for you during a consultation, where one of our dentists will assess the suitability of your teeth.

Depending on the current condition of your teeth and the number of dental veneers you require – some patients only want one or two front teeth covering, while others want to cover 6–8 teeth – we can recommend a treatment plan to meet your needs and budget. Our veneer fees are competitive and we also offer dental finance.

Frequently Asked Questions

You won’t have to worry about your new teeth looking fake when you come to a reputable dentist for veneers in London. Our skilled team at The Dental Centre is capable of crafting and fitting realistic-looking veneers that blend right in with the rest of your teeth.
While we want to give you the symmetrical white smile you’ve been dreaming of, it’s important to achieve the appropriate shape, thickness, finish, and shade to make the veneers look natural.
That’s why we carefully design your veneers – with your input and final approval, of course – to fit in with your natural teeth as closely as possible. Veneers can be prepared with a subtle texture to the surface and polished to a low shine so they really do look just like the real teeth around them.
If there is a unique element to your teeth that you don’t want to lose, such as the specific shape, we can work with you to create veneers that maintain your authentic smile.

One of the many reasons that patients choose to get veneers in London is to disguise severe discolouration that cannot be treated any other way. However, once the tooth is prepared and the porcelain veneer is bonded, neither the tooth underneath nor the veneer material covering it can be whitened.
This is why we advise patients to consider teeth whitening before undergoing the veneers procedure, as the bespoke veneers can be colour-matched to your new whiter tooth shade instead of the previous shade that you weren’t happy with.
The stain-resistant veneer material should not become discoloured as easily as real tooth enamel, but it can still stain over time if patients don’t look after their veneers properly – for example, regularly consuming highly pigmented food and drinks.
You may have to continue whitening your natural teeth to maintain the same shade as your veneers. If the veneers themselves become discoloured, you should book a consultation with us to assess whether their whiteness can be restored with a professional cleaning or if replacement veneers will be required.

High-quality veneers in London that are created and applied by specialists like the team at The Dental Centre are durable enough to last a long time. However, their longevity will depend on how well you look after them – from maintaining your oral hygiene routine to avoiding pigmented, hard, or sticky foods.
If you keep up these good habits, your veneers could last for up to 7–15 years before they need repairing or replacing.
As the teeth underneath have had some enamel removed to make space for the veneers, you cannot leave your teeth exposed if the veneers are removed. This means you must commit to getting replacement veneers periodically throughout your lifetime.
If you ever experience an accident that damages or breaks a veneer, or find that they become discoloured or feel looser over the years, be sure to come back for an assessment to ensure they can be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Here at The Dental Centre, the cost of veneers in London starts at £875 per tooth for traditional veneers, while composite veneers can start from £250 per tooth.
Both are subject to prior assessment, as an examination is required to determine the condition of the teeth in question before an individual price can be provided for the necessary treatment.
If you are concerned about the price of veneers, there are various payment options available at The Dental Centre to ensure this treatment is still accessible for you.
For example, we offer Denplan memberships, which include selected treatments for a monthly fee and come with the member-exclusive benefit of a discount on other procedures.
We also partner with Chrysalis Finance Ltd to offer dental finance to patients who would rather pay for veneers in monthly instalments than upfront, with interest-free plans available.
Simply ask us to talk through your payment options when we design your personal treatment plan following your initial consultation.
