What are veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin layers of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They can dramatically improve shape, size, alignment and colour while also protecting natural tooth enamel. Our thin porcelain veneers are handcrafted by expert technicians to achieve a seamless, natural teeth appearance.

At our London dental clinic, we use premium materials including feldspathic porcelain and e.max veneers (lithium disilicate), chosen for their durability and aesthetic qualities. These materials ensure your veneers are both beautiful and long-lasting.

Who is suitable for dental veneers treatment?

Dental veneers treatment is ideal for people with worn or chipped teeth, cracks, small gaps or irregular shapes. Veneers are also an excellent option for those with crooked teeth that don’t require orthodontic treatment, and for anyone with stained or discoloured teeth that don’t respond well to whitening. Veneer treatments offer a minimally invasive solution for restoring the appearance of a healthy, youthful smile.

Types of veneers and cosmetic treatments available

We offer two main types of veneers at our clinic. Porcelain veneers provide a highly durable, natural-looking result and are ideal for patients seeking a long-term aesthetic solution. Composite veneers are a quicker, more cost-effective option that can be applied in a single visit, although they may require more maintenance over time. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the right option based on your dental needs, preferences and goals.

Cosmetic dentist insight: crowns vs veneers

Crowns are used to restore extensively damaged teeth and cover the entire visible portion of the tooth. Veneers, on the other hand, only cover the front surface. Because of this, veneers are a more conservative option and often require less removal of natural tooth enamel. In many cases, veneers can be fitted with little or no preparation, helping preserve your natural teeth.

The veneers procedure: from first appointment to final smile

Our veneers procedure is designed to be thorough, comfortable and predictable, guiding you through four essential steps.

At your first appointment, we carry out a full dental check. This includes photographing your teeth, taking X-rays if necessary and creating digital impressions. These records help us design a wax-up model, which shows what your final veneers could look like. You’ll have the opportunity to visualise your trial smile and discuss your expectations with your cosmetic dentist.

The second appointment involves transferring the trial smile onto your teeth in a completely reversible way. This gives you a realistic preview of the final result and allows for any adjustments to shape or positioning. Once you’re satisfied, we move forward to the next stage.

At the third appointment, we prepare the teeth with as little enamel reduction as possible. We use magnification tools and precision guides to ensure accuracy and preserve tooth health. Temporary veneers are placed so you can leave the clinic with a confident smile while your final veneers are being created.

About three weeks later, at the final appointment, we fit your permanent porcelain veneers. Using advanced bonding techniques, your veneers are placed with microscopic accuracy for long-term success and a beautiful, natural finish. The placement of veneers is carried out by an experienced dentist with attention to detail and precision.

Alexandra Budrey

I honestly cannot recommend Professor Christian Mehl and his wonderful team at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic highly enough! The standard of expertise and professionalism is absolutely exceptional, but what really makes this practice so special is the genuine kindness, care and personal attention you receive. There's something rather wonderful and almost old-fashioned about the way they look after you. You feel genuinely cared for as an individual, never just another patient. Dr Mehl and his team have gone above and beyond for me, particularly when I really needed their help, and I cannot express how grateful I am. Choosing this practice has been one of the very best decisions I've made for my dental health. An absolutely exceptional team of people, and I couldn't recommend them more wholeheartedly! Thank you! Alexandra B. Burford, Oxfordshire

Shahrooz

Phenomenal clinic. I'm a very particular patient and take great care in choosing a dentist, so I don't give praise lightly. The Wimpole Street Dental Clinic has exceeded my expectations on every count. The specialists are highly skilled and clearly at the top of their field, yet completely approachable. They explain everything as the procedure is happening, so you always know what's being done and why. That makes a real difference to how relaxed you feel in the chair. The front desk team were amazing too: warm, efficient and genuinely helpful. It's rare to find this level of expertise combined with such attentive patient care. Thank you to the whole team. Highly recommended.

Clotilde Cano

The Wimple Street dental clinic is the best one could wish for. The space is beautiful, well furnished and extremely clean. Professor Mehl is extraordinary, he takes the time to explain everything step by step and he’s very reassuring. The whole staff is extremely kind, especially Rebecca from the reception, she’s attentive and always available.

Juan Carlos Parada

I’ve just completed my dental treatment with Dr. Christian Mehl, and the experience has been outstanding. The quality of care, expertise, and attention to detail provided by Dr. Mehl and his team are truly first class. Throughout the process, I was consistently impressed by their high professional standards and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Equally impressive is the entire team at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic. Everyone is friendly, efficient, welcoming, and highly professional, making every visit smooth and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Mehl and the clinic to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great service

Maya

I cannot recommend this dental practice highly enough. Professor Mehl has provided an exceptional standard of care and professionalism, and I have been genuinely impressed by both his expertise and his approach to patient care. He is exceptionally kind, patient and reassuring, and completely non-judgemental. I have never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable discussing my dental hygiene, and he has always made me feel at ease. His positive and compassionate manner immediately puts you at ease, even if you are someone who feels anxious about dental treatment. What I particularly appreciate is the personal level of care he provides. He remembers me personally, greets me when I arrive and genuinely takes an interest in me as a patient. This makes such a difference and is something I have rarely experienced elsewhere. I am currently saving towards an implant, and Professor Mehl went above and beyond by building a temporary tooth. I was incredibly touched by this gesture and it is a wonderful example of the kindness and consideration he shows his patients. He is also exceptionally skilled, even the injections were completely painless, which is something I have never experienced with another dentist! I would also like to mention Jennifer (dental therapist) who is absolutely wonderful. She gave me an incredibly thorough deep clean, yet somehow managed to make the entire experience completely comfortable and pain-free. She did an exceptional job, and I was so impressed with the care and attention to detail she showed throughout. Jennifer is also incredibly warm and personable, her smile genuinely brightens the room. Like Professor Mehl, she remembers me personally, which makes every visit feel welcoming and reassuring rather than clinical. I am extremely grateful for the care I have received from the whole team. Professor Mehl and Jennifer combine exceptional professionalism and expertise with genuine kindness and compassion. It is clear that they truly care about their patients, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.

WW C

I was on vacation in London, and a crown came off during my first full day there. I was literally 4,000 miles from home, and, as luck would have it, I was near the Wimpole Street Dental Clinic. The receptionist could see the panic on my face when I walked through the door. He calmed me down by assuring me that he would make sure I got fixed up right away. Soon after, I saw the dentist. He was excellent. Fixed me up in no time. I was able to enjoy the rest of my bucket-list trip without worrying about my teeth! I can't thank them enough! If you have dental needs, I highly recommend stopping in! Here's a pic of me with the doc and his staff after they fixed my crown—such a great group of people.

Really friendly dentist. My daughter needed some fillings and we’re really pleased with the results - they are invisible and it wasn’t painful

FAQs

Common questions about veneers, answered clearly and honestly.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 20 years if properly maintained. Their longevity is strongly linked to the amount of enamel preserved during the procedure.

Do veneers stain?

Porcelain veneers resist staining far better than natural teeth. However, the edges where the veneer meets the natural tooth may stain over time without good oral hygiene.

What are veneers made of?

Most veneers today are made from a material called lithium disilicate (commonly known by its brand name, e.max), which is exceptionally strong and relatively easy to work with. However, we often prefer feldspathic porcelain, which, while more time-consuming to produce, allows us to achieve beautifully natural results.

Are veneers painful?

Most veneer preparation is confined to the enamel, so local anaesthesia is often unnecessary. However, in some small areas, dentine may be exposed. If the dentist anticipates this, local anaesthesia will be administered to ensure the patient remains comfortable and pain-free.

What do teeth look like under the veneers?

Under veneers, teeth are typically slightly reshaped and minutely reduced to make room for the veneers to fit properly. The prepped teeth may look less aesthetically pleasing due to their reduced size, altered shape, and rough texture. The goal is to create space for the veneers, not to focus on appearance at this stage.

Can veneers fix gaps between teeth?

Yes. Veneers can be custom-designed to close small gaps between teeth, creating a more even and harmonious smile without the need for orthodontic treatment. This makes them an excellent option for patients looking for a fast and effective cosmetic improvement.

What's the difference between composite and porcelain veneers?

Composite veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the tooth. They are quicker and less expensive but may not last as long. Porcelain veneers are more durable, stain-resistant and natural-looking, making them the preferred option for patients seeking long-term results.

Do I need to change my diet with veneers?

Not significantly. While porcelain veneers are strong, it's best to avoid biting down on very hard foods like ice, raw carrots or hard sweets, especially with your front teeth. Sticking to a balanced diet and avoiding darkly pigmented foods will help maintain the colour of your veneers.

Can I get veneers on just one tooth?

Absolutely. A single veneer can be placed to improve the appearance of an individual tooth. Whether it's chipped, discoloured or oddly shaped, we can craft a veneer that blends in perfectly with your surrounding natural teeth.

Are veneers suitable for everyone?

Veneers are not suitable for patients with active gum disease, extensive tooth decay or those who grind their teeth excessively without wearing a guard. At your consultation, we'll assess whether veneers are the right treatment or recommend an alternative.
