Quick FAQ:

• Do veneers ruin your teeth? When done by a dental professional, veneers will not damage your teeth. Often marketed and confused for veneers, crowns can be used in the place of veneers. As crowns require the tooth to be filed down this can irreparably alter your tooth’s structure. Read more about the procedure here.
• How much do veneers cost? As veneers are a cosmetic procedure offered by private dentists they are not free on the NHS. Many dentists, including us, offer 0% finance options as well as payment plans to help you spread the cost. The cost depends on the dentist, the amount of work and the veneers being applied. The average cost of a veneer is £1,000. See our fees.
• How long do veneers last? Veneers if cared for properly can last a lifetime. See aftercare tips.
• Are they permanent? Porcelain veneers are permanent as such there is no going back, however, composite veneers do offer patients an alternative to irreversible procedures.
• Are veneers worth getting? If you feel self-conscious about your smile, or if it makes you unhappy, veneers can certainly help to boost your confidence. They also have great oral health and hygiene benefits, which strengthen your oral foundation. More benefits of veneers.

What are veneers?

Often referred to as porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, veneers are wafer-thin, custom porcelain shells that use tooth-coloured materials to mimic natural teeth.

They apply to the tooth’s front surface to conceal smile imperfections quickly, efficiently and in just one appointment.

Veneers are cosmetically used to enhance your appearance as they can improve and change the colour, shape and length of your teeth.

What do they treat?

Also known as instant orthodontics, veneers can fix various oral conditions, from malocclusions to discoloured or damaged teeth.

The complete list includes:

• Narrow smiles
• Gapped teeth
• Crooked, short or worn teeth
• Cracked, chipped or broken teeth
• Overbites, underbites, overcrowding
• Discolouration, staining and fluorosis

Alternatives to treating these oral states without using veneers include crowns (tooth-shaped caps) or orthodontics. A slower solution includes Invisalign.
