Porcelain dental veneers are among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures for patients considering a full smile makeover.
From chipped teeth to stained or discoloured teeth that don't respond well to traditional tooth whitening treatments, they effectively correct a wide range of dental imperfections.
Veneers can also improve the appearance of misaligned, broken, or uneven teeth, without the need for orthodontic treatment. Closely matched to your natural tooth colour, they can be difficult to distinguish from your existing teeth, allowing you to subtly transform your smile.
Porcelain veneers are incredibly durable and long-lasting. With the right care and attention, they can easily last 15 to 20 years, making them a worthwhile investment. Unlike composite veneers, which usually last between 5 and 7 years, the material used in traditional porcelain veneers is stain-resistant, so you can maintain a bright and beautiful smile while still indulging in your daily coffee or red wine.
We offer a digital smile design at every consultation so you can create your smile exactly how you want it, and see your new look before commencing cosmetic dental treatment. Think of it as a trial smile.
Take the first step towards a new you by scheduling your initial consultation with The Oliver Cosmetic Dental Clinic experts today. You won't regret it! Say goodbye to cosmetic concerns and insecurities and hello to a confident, beautiful you.

Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and, done properly, they can look fantastic โ achieving a whiter, more balanced, and confident smile.
Replacing old dental veneers not only has cosmetic benefits โ providing you with a brighter smile thatโs more uniform and youthful looking โ but replacement veneers can also protect the underlying tooth structure from decay or damage.
The cost of dental veneers can vary from practice to practice, as well as the type of dental veneer (i.e. porcelain or composite resin), and how many veneers you need.
Generally, dental porcelain veneers cost more than composite because they require more appointments, time in the dental chair, and lab work โ but Dr Oliver's veneers can last 20+ years, if not more, which is three times as long as those made from resin composite material!
Most practices charge per tooth โ meaning that a full set of veneers is likely to cost you more than veneers on only your front teeth (or your most visible teeth when you smile).
When factoring the cost of treatment into their decision, many patients often ask, โAre veneers permanent?โ
The simple answer is yes. As part of the veneers procedure, your natural tooth enamel has to be reshaped before the porcelain veneer can cover the front surfaces of your teeth. This involves minimal removal, but much like our natural teeth, they are susceptible to damage from impact โ not to mention chips and cracks โ if not treated correctly.
Here at The Oliver Cosmetic Dental Clinic, we use only the highest quality materials for our cosmetic dental veneers, ensuring they last as long as possible and look like natural, healthy teeth.
To extend the longevity of your dental veneers in London, we advise attending regular checkups and appointments with our dental hygienist and cosmetic dentistry experts. This will ensure potential problems are picked up early on โ before they have time to escalate and become expensive issues.
Porcelain veneers can be placed on single or multiple teeth.
They are an excellent treatment option for those looking to correct smile imperfections, such as:
If your teeth and gums are in good condition, you have enough tooth enamel, and you maintain good oral habits, you should be eligible for veneers in London.
However, if you have any form of tooth decay or gum disease, youโll need to undergo treatment before veneers can be fitted.
If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), your dentist may advise wearing a nightguard to protect your veneers.
Want to find out if youโre a suitable candidate for porcelain veneers? London patients can get in touch and book a free consultation with our expert cosmetic dentists.
To fit your new teeth, your dentist will need to remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of each tooth to ensure the temporary and permanent veneers sit flush and look natural. When your custom porcelain veneers are ready and back from the lab, they're bonded to the front surface of your teeth using a special dental cement to keep them firmly in place.
Veneers can last 20+ years with proper care and attention.
Porcelain veneers last longer than composite veneers and are more resistant to staining. Composite veneers last 5-7 years, on average.
Plus, simple things like brushing twice a day with toothpaste, flossing daily, attending routine check-ups at our clinic, and scheduling professional cleans with our hygienist can go a long way in prolonging the lifespan of your dental veneers in London.

The number of veneers you need depends on the condition of your natural teeth and your desired look, but we typically recommend an even number of veneers to ensure the best aesthetic results.
The size of your smile will determine how many teeth are visible when you smile or talk. Smaller mouths typically only need 6 veneers for the teeth on show, whereas patients with larger mouths and wider smiles may require 8-10 veneers.
If you have two gapped teeth and the rest of your teeth are healthy, you may consider porcelain veneers in London as an alternative to braces. In most cases, youโll only need two veneers, but you could opt for more to create a celebrity smile.
Alternatively, if your teeth are chipped, cracked, or discoloured, you might wish to cover every visible tooth to ensure a natural look โ requiring more veneers.
If youโre keen to restore or replace damaged or missing teeth, or you have other dental issues that require specialist treatment, our team will need to perform a prosthodontic consultation first.
Book your consultation for veneers in London and weโll assess your oral health and ask you about your treatment goals before creating a tailored treatment plan to help you achieve your dream smile.
No, as experts in cosmetic dentistry, we do everything we can to ensure a comfortable experience for every patient.
We perform the procedure under local anaesthetic and, once the numbness wears off, patients can expect little to no discomfort.
Itโs not uncommon for patients having 8 or more veneers in London (or elsewhere) to experience slight soreness of the gums and jaws after their treatment. However, this usually subsides within a few days, and over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, can help alleviate this.

Absolutely not!
Dr Oliver and his team have over 35 years of experience and have helped transform the smiles of thousands of satisfied veneer patients with top-quality porcelain veneers in London.
Our cosmetic dentists work hard to ensure the end result looks and feels natural.
Weโll colour-match your veneers and ensure the shape complements the rest of your natural teeth or make them whiter but still natural.
If youโd like to hide imperfections and whiten your teeth simultaneously, we recommend having teeth whitening treatment before the veneering process. This way, we can match the veneer colour to your newly whitened teeth โ ensuring a natural finish.

The process of gaining porcelain veneers typically takes between 2-3 weeks, but this may differ between individual cases.
Your journey towards a new smile starts with a consultation, where our experienced dentist examines your teeth, discusses your goals, and potentially takes X-rays. Youโll also decide on the shade, shape, and number of veneers you want/need.
At a second appointment, impressions or digital scans are taken and sent to a dental lab. Some enamel is removed from your existing teeth so your temporary veneers can be placed - these will be replaced when your custom ones are ready.
A few weeks later, the temporary veneers are removed, and your new porcelain veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.
Our team of highly experienced professional cosmetic dentists provide a range of cosmetic dentistry procedures to suit each individualโs needs and budget.
If cosmetic veneers are not the right option for you, our expertise does not stop there. We specialise in a range of other cosmetic treatments, such as composite bonding, Invisalign, dental implants, porcelain crowns and bridges. We are confident we can provide the right life-changing smile for you.
