We don’t have a template from which to start. Everything starts from scratch to develop a smile that reflects your personality, character, and inner beauty.
What should I expect from the dental veneer treatment?
Your veneer-enhanced smile only requires two dental appointments. Your treatment starts with a consultation, where we want to establish your concerns and goals. The dentist also examines your teeth and gums to determine your veneer eligibility. If so, we’ll embark on teeth preparation to prepare for veneer placement.
Our office prioritizes your comfort, even for minor dental procedures like veneer preparation. Before we begin, we’ll numb your gums with powerful local anesthetics. This ensures you won’t feel any pain during the treatment. Once you are at ease, we’ll remove about 0.5mm of the front-facing enamel to create space for your veneers’ thickness. Next, we’ll digitally scan your prepped teeth to develop a blueprint for fabricating your bespoke veneers. Until we receive your new veneers, we’ll temporarily restore your teeth to preview the new smile that awaits.
Once we receive your veneers, you’ll visit our office for placement. Often, we’ll make a few tweaks to ensure your veneers look natural and fit comfortably. The final step is to bond your veneers permanently to your teeth with dental cement.
Do veneers look realistic?
Our dental veneers are created with precise planning and state-of-the-art materials. Poorly designed veneers may look bulky, overly white, and unnaturally square. Our veneers blend seamlessly with your teeth, gums, facial features, and personality, creating a natural and authentic appearance. Once in place, our veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth—except they are flawless.

How much do veneers cost in London?
The cost of veneers in London varies depending on the material and the dentist’s expertise. Composite veneers typically range from £200–£500 per tooth, while porcelain veneers cost between £600–£1,500 per tooth. Premium veneers crafted from high-quality materials and customized for a natural appearance may cost more. A consultation is essential to determine the number of veneers needed and the overall cost of achieving your desired results.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or longer. Porcelain veneers are more durable and stain-resistant than composite ones, contributing to their longer lifespan. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups help maintain veneers while avoiding hard or sticky foods reduces the risk of damage. Over time, natural wear or changes in your gum line may require replacement to keep your smile’s appearance.
Which veneers look most natural?
Porcelain veneers are widely considered the most natural-looking option. They mimic the translucency and sheen of natural enamel, allowing them to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Each veneer is custom-designed for your unique smile, taking into account shape, size, and color. Modern materials and techniques ensure that well-made veneers appear indistinguishable from real teeth when applied by an experienced cosmetic dentist.
Can you go back to normal teeth after veneers?
Veneers are a permanent treatment because they require removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth for proper bonding. Once enamel is removed, it cannot grow back, meaning your teeth will always need some form of coverage, such as new veneers or crowns, to protect them. While you cannot return to your natural teeth, maintaining veneers ensures a long-lasting and beautiful smile.
Do veneers hurt?
Getting veneers is generally painless. Dentists use local anesthesia during the preparation process to ensure comfort. After the procedure, you may experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, which typically subsides within a few days. Advanced techniques and minimally invasive options, such as no-prep veneers, can further reduce discomfort.
Do veneers look too fake?
Modern veneers are designed to look natural, with advancements in materials and technology allowing for lifelike results. The key is selecting a skilled cosmetic dentist who customizes the veneers to match your facial features, natural tooth color, and smile goals. Well-made veneers should enhance your smile without appearing artificial or overdone.
Do veneers break easily?
While veneers are strong, they are not invincible and can break if subjected to excessive force. Porcelain veneers are more resistant to cracking than composite ones, but both types should be treated carefully. Avoid biting into hard objects, such as ice or pens, and wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night. Regular dental check-ups ensure any potential issues are addressed early.
