Treatments / Cosmetic dentistry / Veneers
Porcelain veneers.
Are your teeth stained, chipped, or not aligned on top of each other? Veneers are a good treatment option to consider because they look like natural teeth and don't require a major procedure.
Two kinds of veneer
Porcelain for the long term, composite for the budget.
Porcelain · 10–15 years
Porcelain veneers
A very thin, tooth-coloured piece of porcelain bonded on top of your own tooth: the longer-lasting option, from £795 per tooth.
Composite · 5–7 years
Composite veneers
The more affordable option, built up directly on the tooth. Your complimentary consultation determines which suits your needs best.

What veneers can fix
Gaps, misalignment and single discoloured teeth.
A veneer is bonded on top of your own tooth, so no major procedure is needed. Veneers can address gaps, misalignment and single discoloured teeth that whitening cannot change.
