There’s a Version of Your Smile That’s Been Waiting

With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers typically last between 10 and 20 years. Protecting them is largely common sense: brush and floss consistently, wear a night guard if you grind your teeth, and avoid using your teeth as tools. Most patients find that taking care of their veneers is no more demanding than caring for their natural teeth.

The preparation stage is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel discomfort during the appointment. Some patients notice mild sensitivity in the days following preparation, while temporary veneers are in place, but this settles quickly and is entirely manageable.

Yes. Porcelain is highly resistant to staining, so the foods and drinks that would mark natural enamel are much less of a concern. In the short period between preparation and final placement, we’d recommend being a little gentle with your temporary veneers, but day-to-day eating is perfectly fine.

If you’re having veneers on only some of your teeth, whitening the surrounding natural teeth beforehand is often a sensible step. We’ll advise you on this during your consultation and help you choose a veneer shade that creates a seamless match.

This is an important question, and we answer it honestly: because a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation, veneers are a permanent commitment. You’ll be maintaining or replacing them throughout your lifetime. We never gloss over this, as it’s central to the informed decision we want every patient to make. We make sure our tooth preparation is extremely precise so that we preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible .

The investment depends on the number of veneers and the complexity of your case. We provide clear, itemised quotes after your consultation, and we’re happy to talk through payment options. We find that when patients understand the full picture, the longevity of porcelain makes the comparison with less expensive alternatives a straightforward one.

Cosmetic dentistry is a skill, but great cosmetic dentistry is an art, and one that requires clinical precision, an eye for aesthetics, and a genuine understanding of what each individual patient wants and needs.

We work with a master ceramist whose work is, simply put, exceptional. Every veneer is individually crafted, shaped, shaded, and finished by hand to match the design we’ve created together. The difference between laboratory-produced and handcrafted porcelain is visible, and it’s a difference we refuse to compromise on.

We’re also focused on the trial smile stage. We won’t place permanent veneers until you’ve seen, worn, and signed off on exactly what you’re getting. For a treatment of this significance, anything less isn’t good enough.
