Veneers in London

Veneers are masterfully crafted very thin porcelain surfaces that can be permanently bonded to the teeth, protecting them, changing their shape and improving their colour. When done properly, with good case selection, microscopic attention to detail and with the help of a brilliant ceramist, they cause no damage and look naturally incredible. Veneers also can last for decades, virtually unchanged. The materials commonly used by us are feldspathic porcelain and lithium disilicate.

Why porcelain veneers in London?

Porcelain veneers are a superb choice for anyone looking to enhance their smile without compromising the health of their natural teeth. These thin layers of porcelain are carefully crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth, providing a bright, uniform appearance. Our process is minimally invasive, preserving the integrity of your teeth while transforming your smile.

These veneers are ideal for individuals with teeth that are crooked, worn, chipped, decayed, or severely discoloured. The beauty of porcelain veneers lies in their versatility and the minimal preparation required. For many patients, particularly those with straight, small, or gapped teeth, no drilling is necessary, making it a conservative treatment option.

The benefits of choosing porcelain veneers are significant. They offer a quick transformation, with just a few sessions needed to complete the procedure—without any pain. Porcelain veneers are not only an aesthetic improvement but also a boost to your confidence, providing a long-lasting and dramatic enhancement to your smile.

Moreover, porcelain veneers have advantages over composite veneers. While both types improve the appearance of your teeth, porcelain is more durable and resistant to staining than composite materials. Porcelain also tends to reflect light in a way that more closely mimics natural teeth, providing a more natural and appealing look. This makes porcelain veneers a superior choice for those looking for a solution that combines aesthetics with functionality and longevity.

What is the difference between crowns and veneers?

The dental crowns we produce are ceramic caps designed to replace a missing or extensively damaged tooth by covering it in its entirety. A veneer is a thin layer of ceramic material (shell-shaped) which is designed to cover the front of the tooth surface only to create an improved aesthetic appearance to the tooth colour and indeed to your beloved smile.

Do veneers stain?

Veneers can become discoloured over time. The risk of staining can be further exacerbated due to regular exposure to certain foods and drinks such as red wine and coffee. If you continue to smoke, post-treatment, your veneers can also become stained or discoloured adversely impacting the quality of the aesthetic results you may have originally set out to achieve. Porcelain veneers however are unlikely to stain provided you continue to clean and maintain the porcelain over time.

Who is suitable for veneers?

Teeth can become unsightly and with an aged appearance due to discoloured restorations, wear and chips. Some teeth simply have irregular shapes, contributing to gaps, or have become severely discoloured.

Porcelain veneers can efficiently cover these defects, restoring the appearance of a healthy young beautiful dentition without invasion. They also contributed to improved function and will protect weakened teeth. Overall the ideal case for veneers is when teeth need a small increase in volume and/or height.
