What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells placed over the front of your teeth to improve their appearance.
They’re custom-made to help:
- Brighten discoloured or stained teeth.
- Refine chipped or worn edges.
- Close small gaps.
- Improve uneven shapes or mild misalignment in front teeth.
A thin layer of enamel is usually removed so the veneer fits securely and feels natural when you bite.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?
Veneers may suit you if you want to improve visible cosmetic concerns that whitening alone can’t fix.They’re commonly used for:
- Teeth that don’t respond to whitening.
- Chipped or worn edges.
- Small gaps.
- Uneven or asymmetrical front teeth.
When might another option be recommended?
Another treatment may be recommended if you:
- Have untreated decay.
- Have active gum disease.
- Grind your teeth heavily.
- Would prefer a more reversible option.
Our dentists will assess whether porcelain veneers are suitable for you during your examination and recommend alternative treatments if another option would be a better fit.

Porcelain veneers provide cosmetic improvement with long-term durability and a natural appearance.
Natural-looking results
Porcelain veneers are carefully colour-matched and shaped to blend naturally with your existing teeth. They’re designed to improve visible cosmetic concerns while maintaining a realistic, balanced appearance rather than looking overly white or artificial.
Long-lasting results
With good care and regular dental check-ups, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer. The strong ceramic material is designed to withstand normal biting and chewing forces, making veneers a long-term cosmetic solution for many patients.
Stain-resistant material
Porcelain is less likely to stain from food and drink compared with natural enamel or some composite materials. This helps veneers maintain their appearance over time, even with everyday consumption of tea, coffee, or red wine.
Comfortable fit
Each veneer is individually designed to fit your teeth and bite comfortably. This tailored approach helps veneers feel secure and natural when speaking, smiling, and eating.
Improved smile balance
Veneers can improve uneven edges, small gaps, and mild asymmetry, creating a more even and harmonious smile.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 — Deborah Gould
I rang in first thing as my veneer came away the night before, explaining that it wasn’t an emergency, however it was to me as I am a singer with bookings coming up. I was given a same day appointment without hesitation. On my visit I was seen by my usual dentist — a genuine, friendly gentleman who always takes time in his care towards patients.

Am I suitable for porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers may be suitable if you want to improve chipped, worn, uneven or discoloured front teeth.
During your exam, our dentists will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and explain whether veneers are the right option for you.
How long does porcelain veneer treatment take?
Treatment usually involves two appointments over 2–3 weeks, depending on the complexity of your treatment.
Will porcelain veneers look natural?
Yes. Veneers are carefully colour-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Is the porcelain veneer procedure painful?
Local anaesthetic is used where needed, so treatment is usually comfortable. You may experience mild sensitivity afterwards, but it typically settles within a few days.
Are there any side effects of porcelain veneers?
Some patients experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold after treatment, particularly in the first few days. This usually settles quickly as your teeth adjust.
Porcelain veneers are carefully planned to fit comfortably and look natural. Our dentists will explain any potential risks and make sure veneers are the right option for your teeth before treatment begins.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good care and regular dental check-ups, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer.
Can I eat and drink normally with porcelain veneers?
Yes. Once any numbness has worn off, you can eat and drink normally with porcelain veneers. To help protect them long term, avoid biting very hard objects such as ice or hard sweets.
What happens if a veneer breaks?
Porcelain veneers are durable, but like natural teeth, they can occasionally chip or crack under heavy pressure. If this happens, our dentists will assess the veneer and explain whether it can be repaired or if a replacement is recommended.
Are porcelain veneers reversible?
Porcelain veneers usually require a thin layer of enamel to be removed, so the treatment isn’t reversible.
Our dentists will only recommend veneers if they’re considered the right long-term option for your teeth.
What are the differences between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain and composite veneers both improve the appearance of your teeth, but they differ in how they’re made, how long they typically last, and how they’re fitted.
Porcelain veneers:
- Material: Made from custom-made ceramic.
- Durability: Typically lasts 10–15 years or longer with good care.
- Appearance: Designed to closely match the look of natural teeth.
- Appointments: Usually require two visits.
- Reversibility: Usually requires some enamel removal, so they aren’t reversible.
Composite veneers:
- Material: Made from tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the tooth.
- Durability: Typically lasts around 5–7 years.
- Appearance: Can look natural but may stain more over time.
- Appointments: Often completed in a single visit.
- Reversibility: May involve little or no enamel removal in some cases.
Our dentists will explain which option is most suitable for your teeth, goals, and long-term plans during your exam.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
Porcelain veneers start from £833 per tooth.
The exact cost depends on how many veneers are needed and the complexity of your treatment. Our dentists will confirm this during your exam.
