How we fit porcelain veneers

From consultation to final fitting, hereโ€™s our step-by-step procedure for achieving your new smile:

  1. Initial consultation - One of our experienced cosmetic dentists will assess your natural teeth, discuss your smile goals with you, and take X-rays to determine if you're a suitable candidate for porcelain veneers. If you decide to proceed, your dentist will develop a custom treatment plan to ensure your new smile will meet your expectations.
  2. Tooth preparation of your existing teeth - 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. A local anaesthesia is used to reduce discomfort. After, a mould and digital scan of your teeth is taken, which is then sent to a dental lab where your bespoke veneers are crafted. This can take between 1 and 2 weeks. Here, you'll choose the shade, size and shape of your veneers.
  3. Temporary veneers are fitted - We'll fit temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and provide a visually appealing smile while you wait for your permanent ones.
  4. Fitting of your final porcelain veneers - 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.

How much do our porcelain veneers cost?

The cost of bespoke porcelain veneers can vary from practice to practice, and depends on 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. However, they can last up to three times longer than those made from resin composite material. Most practices charge per single veneer.

Our porcelain veneers start from ยฃ895 per tooth - a reflection of both the quality of materials we use and the expertise behind every case. Each treatment is led personally by Dr Joe Oliver, one of London's most experienced cosmetic dentists, who has spent decades perfecting natural-looking smile transformations. When you choose The Oliver Cosmetic Dental Clinic, you're not just investing in porcelain veneers, you're investing in results that are crafted with precision, care, and an expert's eye for detail.

We also offer flexible finance options, so you can spread the cost of your new smile into manageable monthly payments. For more information on pricing and to find a plan that works for you, visit our Fees page.

How long do porcelain veneers last?


With the right care and attention, porcelain veneers can last 20 years or more - significantly longer than composite veneers, which typically last 5 to 7 years. Porcelain is also more resistant to staining, meaning your smile stays brighter for longer.

To get the most from your veneers, we recommend maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular hygienist appointments, and avoiding habits that place excessive pressure on your teeth such as nail biting or grinding.

What conditions can porcelain veneers help with?

    Porcelain veneers are suitable for a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
  • Chipped teeth
  • Cracked teeth
  • Broken or damaged teeth
  • Tooth discolouration
  • Mishapen teeth
  • Uneven teeth
  • Crooked teeth
    If you have healthy teeth and your gums are in good condition, you have enough tooth enamel, and you maintain good oral habits, you should be eligible for porcelain dental veneers in London.
    You might not be suitable if you have:

    • Tooth decay
    • Gum disease
    • Enamel erosion
    • Functional bite problems

    In many cases, underlying issues can be treated first, after which porcelain veneers remain a perfectly viable option. Dr Joe Oliver will assess your suitability thoroughly at your initial consultation.

If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), your dentist may advise wearing a nightguard to protect your veneers.
