Dental veneers are custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing the appearance and achieving a more desirable look. They are ideal for correcting gaps, chips, cracks, discolouration, and misalignment without extensive dental surgery. Two popular materials used for veneers are porcelain and composite, each with unique benefits and considerations.
Porcelain veneers are renowned for their durability and natural appearance. Made from thin layers of porcelain, they mimic the strength and colour of natural teeth. The translucent quality of porcelain allows light to pass through and reflect off your teeth, giving them a bright, natural glow. At our clinic, we collaborate with one of the top dental labs in London to craft veneers that perfectly match the colour and aesthetic of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural finish.
Your journey towards a new smile begins with a consultation where you discuss your aesthetic goals with our skilled cosmetic dentists. Detailed attention is given to the design of your veneers, including their shape, colour, and level of translucency.
During the preparation phase, a small amount of tooth enamel—about half a millimetre—is removed to accommodate the veneer. This painless process is followed by taking a digital scan of your teeth, which is sent to our lab where your custom veneers are created. Temporary veneers are provided in the interim, allowing you to adjust to your new smile.
After two to three weeks, your bespoke porcelain veneers will be ready for placement. During your follow-up visit, you will assess the veneers for fit and appearance before they are permanently bonded to your teeth.
Caring for porcelain veneers is straightforward and similar to caring for natural teeth—regular brushing and flossing are essential. It usually takes a few weeks to fully adapt to the feel of your new veneers, after which they should feel completely natural.
Composite veneers are another excellent option for enhancing your smile. These veneers are made from a composite resin material that is moulded directly onto your teeth. Composite veneers are less expensive than porcelain and can be applied in a single visit, making them a convenient choice for many patients. However, they are not as durable as porcelain and tend to stain more easily, requiring more maintenance.
While both types of veneers improve the aesthetics of your teeth, the choice between porcelain and composite depends on your specific needs and budget. Porcelain veneers offer a more durable and natural-looking solution, whereas composite veneers are more cost-effective and quicker to apply.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to maintaining them.
No, the process is virtually pain-free. The preparation involves minimal enamel removal, and most patients report no discomfort.
Porcelain veneers are excellent for aesthetic concerns like chips, discolouration, and minor misalignment. For functional or severe alignment issues, other treatments like orthodontics may be recommended.
