Porcelain veneers in London

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct shape, colour, and alignment. We assess how long they will last and their suitability for your teeth during a consultation with Dr Ope Sodeinde.

Correcting uneven or discoloured teeth

You might feel that your smile is held back by chips, gaps, or staining that will not fade. It is common for these imperfections to affect your confidence. We provide cosmetic dentistry in London to address this, using tooth-coloured restorations to repair decayed or damaged tooth structure while preserving as much natural tooth as possible. Whether you need porcelain veneers, composite bonding, or precise contouring, we plan your treatment using digital imaging. We follow standard infection control protocols throughout.

Specialist-led cosmetic planning

Choosing the wrong restoration can lead to permanent damage. Specialist-led planning aligns your clinical needs with your aesthetic goals, and a diagnosis-first approach reduces the risk of over-treating teeth. If a less invasive option is better for you, we explain why no-prep veneers or inlays and onlays might be the right choice.

Cost is often a primary concern. We provide an itemised quote so you understand exactly what you are paying for before you begin. Our clinical team, led by Dr Sodeinde, brings together expertise in periodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics (including Invisalign) so your gums and bite are considered alongside your new smile.

Who can benefit from these restorations

Many people feel hesitant to seek cosmetic work because they worry about a "fake" appearance or the amount of tooth structure removed. We address these concerns during your initial visit. We use a digital smile simulation to show you a realistic preview of your results before we begin. This gives you a clear sense of the intended look before committing to treatment.

If you are concerned about enamel damage or prefer a less invasive option, we can discuss composite bonding. For those who feel anxious about visiting the dentist, we provide a calm environment to make your experience predictable. We assess your candidacy during a consultation to determine if veneers are the right choice for your dental health.

Whether you are a candidate depends on your dental health and goals, which we cover at your consultation.

Your Porcelain Veneers Process

Veneer Suitability Assessment

We begin by examining your teeth to determine if ceramic shells are the right choice for your goals. This visit identifies if you need cosmetic contouring or a different restoration, and we discuss cosmetic dentistry costs in London so the plan fits your budget.

How we prepare the Tooth Surface

We remove a small amount of enamel from the front of each tooth to create a flush fit and space for the porcelain. Some patients feel anxious about this step, and our team can talk you through it to help you feel more comfortable.

How we create the Ceramic Shells

We take precise impressions of your teeth to guide the fabrication of your restorations. These are crafted to match your natural tooth shade and shape. This stage usually takes a few visits so the fit is exact.

Fitting the Porcelain Veneers

We bond the custom shells to your teeth using a high-strength adhesive, then shape and polish each veneer so the edges are smooth and the appearance looks natural.

Final Aesthetic Review

Your final appointment focuses on the function and look of your new smile. We check the bite and make any necessary micro-adjustments so the restorations feel comfortable and look consistent with your other teeth.

Clinical precision and digital planning

We use digital smile design software to create a virtual preview of your new smile, so you can see the plan before treatment begins. We select materials and shading to suit your facial features, and talk through what to expect at your assessment.

Aesthetic improvements need a foundation of healthy teeth and gums. This approach is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who leads the practice.

We offer a range of options to restore your smile, including porcelain veneers, composite veneers, no-prep veneers, composite bonding, and cosmetic contouring, depending on what result you are looking for.

Patient evidence

Clinical outcomes and patient experiences

We aim for a calm, unhurried manner and honest options during no-pressure consultations, which can help if you feel anxious about dental work. If you are considering a different material, we also provide composite veneers.

Common concerns about ceramic restorations

Is porcelain permanent?

The process involves removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the restoration. Because this tooth structure cannot grow back, the treatment is considered permanent. We assess your eligibility at a consultation to check this is the right choice for you.

How much do they cost?

Fees vary with the number of teeth treated and the complexity of your case. We give you a clear breakdown of costs at your initial appointment, before any work begins.

How long do they last?

With professional maintenance and a proper cosmetic dentistry aftercare guide, these restorations are durable. Their lifespan depends on your oral hygiene and habits. We examine your teeth regularly to maintain the integrity of the ceramic.

Which materials do you use?

We use high-grade porcelain and ceramic selected for strength and natural appearance. Our goal is to avoid a fake look by matching the shade and translucency of your existing teeth. Our specialist periodontist checks the fit is precise to protect the tooth underneath.

Plan your ceramic restoration

Deciding on the right material for your smile requires a clinical assessment. We can explain the differences between options and what happens at your cosmetic dentistry consultation and how to book to determine if this approach suits your goals.

Our team provides a range of cosmetic dentistry in London to address specific aesthetic concerns, and Dr Sodeinde assesses each case individually so the restoration is both functional and natural-looking.
