Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that involves placing thin porcelain shells over the front surface of your teeth to improve their aesthetics.
They can correct various issues, including discolouration, chips, gaps, and misalignment. With over 50 years of combined experience in providing the highest quality dental treatments, our team at London Dental Specialists has the expertise to ensure that you receive exceptional care throughout the entire process.
Porcelain veneers are a catch-all solution to common cosmetic dental complaints, providing an incredibly natural finish that can help with stained, crooked teeth, uneven teeth, broken, or damaged teeth. They fit closely over existing teeth and achieve such a natural look that they can even be applied across the entire mouth for restructuring.
The best part? They’re easy to maintain and don’t stain as easily as natural teeth. However, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of porcelain veneers before making any decisions.
While they provide a fast and effective way to transform your teeth without needing to replace a tooth, they may require the removal of some tooth surfaces to fit. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene is crucial for keeping the health of your underlying teeth intact.
It’s also important to consider durability versus cost when deciding if porcelain veneers are right for you. At London Dental Specialists, our experienced team will gladly discuss these factors with you so that you can make an informed decision about your smile transformation journey.

Porcelain veneers are the gold standard in cosmetic treatments. They are custom-made thin layers of porcelain that fit over the front of a tooth, restoring it to its original shape and colour. If you have severely worn or damaged teeth or wish to improve the appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers may be an excellent option for you.
Porcelain veneers provide many benefits beyond their natural appearance. They’re durable and can last up to 15 years with proper maintenance as long as they are placed on natural tooth enamel. The cost of porcelain veneers may seem high at first glance, but they often save money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent dental work on damaged teeth.
Before receiving porcelain veneers, careful planning and extensive discussions with patients are necessary to ensure candidacy and understanding of expectations. Additionally, minimal preparation within enamel is required to fit these natural-looking restorations making them a conservative way to restore teeth.
Our four-step process includes a trial smile of the final result, tooth preparation, impression taking of the prepared teeth, and bonding onto a cleaned and acid-etched tooth surface for maximum retention. Once your porcelain veneers are in place, you can maintain their durability by practising good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice daily, flossing daily and scheduling routine dental check-ups with our team at London Dental Specialists.
With proper care and maintenance, your customised porcelain veneers can last over ten years!
At London Dental Specialists, we understand how important it is for you to have a beautiful and confident smile. That’s why we offer a comprehensive porcelain veneer service that starts with a consultation process to determine the best approach for your needs.
Our experienced specialists will work with you to customise the shape, size, and colour of your veneers to ensure they look natural and enhance your overall appearance. We use only the highest quality veneer materials, such as porcelain, which are more durable and stain-resistant than composite bonding.
During your procedure, our experienced specialists will carefully prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit for the custom shells that’ll be placed over them. This preparation process is crucial in achieving the desired results and ensuring the longevity of your porcelain veneers. Our team takes great care in this step, using advanced techniques and tools to minimize discomfort and ensure precision.
Once your teeth are prepared, we’ll take an impression (either digital or analogue) of the prepared teeth to create customised porcelain shells that match your natural teeth' exact shape and shade. When properly cared for, these shells are durable and long-lasting, with an average lifespan of 10-15 years. To maintain their durability, we recommend avoiding hard or sticky foods that could damage the veneers and practising good oral hygiene habits at home.
In terms of cost comparison, while porcelain veneers may be initially more expensive than other cosmetic dental procedures, they offer significant value in terms of their lifespan and ability to transform your smile. At London Dental Specialists, we’re committed to helping you achieve a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
Many studies reported positive clinical outcomes veneers, with a survival rate of 91% in 20 years dental veneers are considered a predictable aesthetic correction of anterior teeth.
The Success of Dental Veneers According To Preparation Design and Material Type
Composite bonding is a popular alternative to porcelain veneers for minor imperfections or changing the shape of a tooth. This involves applying a composite resin material directly onto the tooth and shaping it to fit seamlessly with your natural teeth. It’s quick, easy, and can be completed in just one visit. Watch our vlog where we compare both treatments.
Another option is teeth whitening, the least invasive way to improve your smile. This treatment uses safe bleaching agents to remove stains and discolouration from your teeth, giving you a brighter and more youthful appearance.
Orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign aligners are also an effective alternative to veneers for correcting tooth alignment.
Dental crowns are another option but require more tooth removal than veneers and should be avoided for young, healthy teeth.
