What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells — made from porcelain or composite resin — bonded to the front surface of your teeth to transform their colour, shape, size and alignment. They are one of the most effective and popular cosmetic dental treatments, capable of creating a beautiful, natural-looking smile in as little as one appointment.
Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns: chipped teeth, gaps, discolouration, worn edges, uneven teeth and mildly crooked teeth. Whether you want a subtle improvement to a single tooth or a complete smile makeover, veneers offer a predictable, long-lasting result.
At Dental Clinic London, our experienced cosmetic dentists offer both composite veneers (from £595) and porcelain veneers (from £1,095). Every case is individually planned to achieve a result that looks natural, complements your facial features and meets your personal goals.

Benefits
Why Choose Veneers?
Veneers are one of the most transformative cosmetic treatments available.
Transform Your Smile in Days
Composite veneers are completed in a single visit. Porcelain veneers take just 2 appointments over 1–2 weeks. Unlike orthodontics, you see dramatic results almost immediately.
Ultra-Natural Appearance
Modern porcelain veneers replicate the translucency, texture and colour of natural enamel. Most people — including other dentists — cannot tell the difference.
Minimally Invasive
Veneer preparation removes only 0.3–0.5 mm of enamel — about the thickness of a contact lens. Composite veneers often require no tooth preparation at all.
Fix Multiple Issues at Once
Veneers can correct chips, cracks, gaps, discolouration, uneven edges and mildly crooked teeth — all in one treatment. No need for multiple separate procedures.
Stain-Resistant (Porcelain)
Porcelain veneers do not stain from tea, coffee, red wine or smoking. Your smile stays bright year after year without the need for whitening.
Boost Confidence
A beautiful smile changes how you feel and how others perceive you. Our patients consistently tell us that veneers are one of the best investments they have ever made.
Your Options
Porcelain vs Composite Veneers
Both types produce beautiful results. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your goals, budget and the condition of your teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin shells of hand-crafted dental ceramic — typically 0.3–0.5 mm thick — bonded permanently to the front surface of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are made in a specialist dental laboratory from impressions of your teeth, then bonded at a second appointment. They offer the most natural-looking, stain-resistant and long-lasting result, with a lifespan of 15–25 years.
Advantages
- Most natural translucency and sheen
- Highly stain-resistant
- Last 15–25 years with care
- Individually crafted by a ceramist
- Minimal preparation — as thin as a contact lens
Considerations
- Requires 2 appointments (1–2 weeks apart)
- Higher cost per tooth
- Cannot be repaired easily if chipped
Composite Veneers
Tooth-coloured composite resin is applied and sculpted directly onto the tooth surface by your dentist — all in a single appointment. Composite veneers are a more affordable option and can produce excellent cosmetic results. They require little or no tooth preparation, making them one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available.
Advantages
- Completed in a single visit
- More affordable
- Minimal or no tooth preparation
- Easily repaired if chipped
- Reversible in most cases
Considerations
- Less stain-resistant than porcelain
- Shorter lifespan (5–10 years)
- May require occasional polishing or repair
Versatile Results
What Can Veneers Fix?
Veneers address a wide range of cosmetic dental concerns — often all at once.
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Restore damaged teeth to their original shape and strength with a natural-looking veneer that covers the chip entirely.
Discoloured Teeth
Cover stubborn stains, tetracycline discolouration or greyish teeth that do not respond to whitening. Achieve a bright, even shade.
Gaps Between Teeth
Close gaps (diastemas) without orthodontics. Veneers are slightly wider than the natural tooth to fill the space symmetrically.
Worn or Uneven Edges
Rebuild worn incisal edges and create even, youthful-looking tooth contours that frame your smile beautifully.
Mildly Crooked Teeth
Create the appearance of straighter teeth without braces. Sometimes called 'instant orthodontics' for mild misalignment.
Small or Peg-Shaped Teeth
Build up undersized or peg-shaped lateral incisors to proportionate, natural dimensions that balance your smile.
Your Veneer Journey
How Veneers Are Placed
From consultation to final polish — here is what happens at each stage.
Free Short Consultation
Your veneer journey begins with a free 15-minute short consultation. Meet a cosmetic dentist, discuss your goals — colour, shape, alignment — and find out which type of veneer is right for you. No cost, no obligation. If you decide to proceed, a new patient examination (£30) provides a full clinical assessment and personalised treatment plan with confirmed costs.
Smile Design & Shade Selection
For porcelain veneers, your dentist creates a digital smile design showing how your new smile will look. Together, you choose the ideal shade and shape. For composite veneers, this step is done chair-side on the day of treatment using a shade guide and mock-up.
Tooth Preparation
A very thin layer of enamel (typically 0.3–0.5 mm) is gently removed from the front surface of each tooth to make space for the veneer. This is done under local anaesthetic and is painless. In some cases — especially with composite veneers — no preparation is needed at all.
Impressions & Temporary Veneers (Porcelain Only)
Detailed impressions of your prepared teeth are sent to our specialist dental laboratory. Temporary veneers are fitted to protect your teeth while your permanent veneers are being crafted — this typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Veneer Fitting
Your veneers are tried in for fit, colour and shape. Once you and your dentist are completely happy, they are permanently bonded using a strong dental adhesive. For composite veneers, the resin is applied, sculpted and light-cured layer by layer directly onto the tooth — all completed in one visit.
Polish, Check & Aftercare
Your new veneers are polished to a natural sheen, your bite is checked and any final adjustments are made. Your dentist provides detailed aftercare instructions. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, your veneers will look beautiful for years to come.

Long-Lasting Results
Caring for Your Veneers
Follow these simple guidelines to keep your veneers looking beautiful for as long as possible.
Brush Twice Daily
Use a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Brush gently along the gum line where the veneer meets the natural tooth to keep margins clean and healthy.
Floss Daily
Floss around each veneer daily to remove plaque from between teeth. This prevents decay at the veneer margins and keeps gums healthy. Interdental brushes are also effective.
Avoid Biting Hard Objects
Do not use your veneered teeth to bite ice, pen caps, fingernails or hard sweets. While veneers are strong, they can chip under excessive force — just like natural teeth.
Wear a Night Guard if You Grind
Teeth grinding (bruxism) can damage veneers over time. If you clench or grind, a custom night guard protects your investment while you sleep.
Regular Dental Check-Ups
Attend check-ups and professional hygiene appointments every 6 months. Your dentist will monitor the condition of your veneers, check for any wear or margin issues and keep your gums healthy.
Avoid Staining (Composite Only)
Porcelain veneers resist staining, but composite veneers can discolour over time. Limit tea, coffee, red wine and smoking, and have composites polished regularly to maintain their lustre.
