Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells made of porcelain created in a laboratory setting that are applied to the teeth to alter their shape, colour, and appearance.

They can also be used to close gaps between teeth and address minor alignment discrepancies for a perfect smile.

Compared to composite materials, porcelain veneers have superior longevity and require less maintenance. Additionally, porcelain can mask some surface staining that composite cannot. While composite materials have advanced significantly in recent years and can also maintain their appearance for an extended period, porcelain veneers remain a preferred option for some patients.

Porcelain veneers offer a fast and guaranteed way to improve tooth shade and correct minor shape discrepancies. Typically, 4 – 6 veneers are applied to ensure uniformity in shape and shade.

Veneers can also camouflage minor orthodontic issues, which can be advantageous for those who don’t wish to undergo orthodontic treatment.

In cases where teeth have deep stains or defects due to trauma or developmental issues, porcelain veneers can offer a solution that is more effective than whitening or composite veneers. They can improve the symmetry, shape, and appearance of teeth with underlying enamel damage.

However, porcelain veneers are more expensive than other cosmetic treatments like composite bonding because they are created in a specialised lab by a master ceramist. Additionally, the removal of some natural tooth structures is required during the veneer application, making it an irreversible procedure, unlike composite bonding, which is less invasive.

We provide porcelain veneers from £900 per tooth. Our treatment plans are customised to suit your needs and budget, with an array of payment plans available to ensure this treatment is accessible to everyone.
