Dental veneers in London’s E20

With proper care and maintenance, dental veneers can last for many years, typically ranging from 10 to 15 years. They are considered a permanent cosmetic dental treatment because a small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth during the preparation process. However, they may need to be replaced eventually due to wear or damage.

Dental veneers are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, so they should not be noticeable to others. They are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your existing teeth.

While dental veneers do not require any special care beyond regular oral hygiene practices, it's important to avoid habits that could damage them, such as biting on hard objects or using your teeth to open packages.

Most people with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for dental veneers. However, your dentist will need to assess your oral health and discuss your goals to determine if veneers are the best option for you, during an initial consultation in London’s E20.

Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining from foods and drink, while composite resin veneers may be more prone to staining over time. However, practising good oral hygiene and avoiding staining agents like coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco can help maintain the appearance of your veneers.

Since a small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth during the preparation process for veneers, the procedure is considered irreversible. However, if necessary, veneers can be removed by your dentist and replaced with new ones.

Veneers usually take between 2 and 3 appointments over a few weeks. Your first visit is the consultation and tooth preparation. We then send your impressions to the laboratory where your custom veneers are made, which usually takes around 2 weeks. You'll come back to have them fitted at your next appointment, with a final check-in to make sure everything feels right.

Each appointment typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. The first is the longest because it includes preparation and impressions. The fitting appointment is usually quicker, as it's about placement, fine-tuning the fit, and getting the colour just right.

The cost depends on how many veneers you're having and the material chosen. You'll receive a clear, written quote at your consultation, and 0% finance is available for treatment over £1,000 to help spread the cost.

orcelain veneers are the gold standard. They're thin, custom-made in a laboratory, highly stain-resistant, and typically last 10 to 15 years. Composite veneers are made directly onto the tooth in a single visit, are more affordable upfront, and easier to repair, but they don't last as long and are more prone to staining over time. Your dentist will recommend the right option for your goals and budget at your consultation.

Veneers are a safe, well-established cosmetic treatment, but there are a few things to be aware of. A small amount of enamel needs to be removed during preparation, which is permanent. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold for a few weeks after fitting. Veneers can chip or come loose if you bite into very hard foods or grind your teeth heavily, which is why a night guard is sometimes recommended for patients who grind. Your dentist will talk you through everything in detail at your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.

No. Your dentist will use a local anaesthetic for the preparation appointment so you stay comfortable throughout. Most patients describe the experience as no different to having a small filling. Some mild sensitivity in the days after preparation is normal and settles quickly.

Veneers don't need any special care beyond looking after your teeth as normal. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular check-ups and hygiene appointments. Avoid biting directly into hard foods (ice, hard sweets) or using your teeth to open packaging, and if you grind your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend a night guard to protect your investment

Yes, and they often are as part of a smile makeover. Many patients have whitening before veneers so the colour can be matched to a brighter shade, or combine veneers on the front teeth with composite bonding or whitening on others to balance the result. Some patients also have clear aligners first to straighten the teeth before veneers refine the final look.
