A thin layer of material,
a completely transformed smile
A veneer is a thin shell of material, either composite resin or porcelain, that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. Veneers can change the colour, shape, size or length of a tooth and are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available.
The treatment is minimally invasive. In most cases, only a very small amount of the tooth surface needs to be prepared before the veneer is bonded in place, and many patients find the process straightforward and comfortable.
At The Smile Studio we offer both composite and porcelain veneers, allowing us to match the right material to your goals, your budget and the number of teeth being treated.
The benefits of veneer treatment
Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available. Here is why so many patients choose them to transform their smile.
Minimally Invasive
Veneers require very little preparation of the natural tooth compared to crowns, making them one of the more conservative cosmetic options available.
Natural-Looking Finish
Both composite and porcelain veneers are carefully colour-matched and shaped to blend with your surrounding teeth for a completely natural result.
Versatile
Veneers can address a wide range of concerns in a single treatment, from discolouration and chips to gaps and uneven tooth shapes.
Affordable Options
With composite veneers starting from £300 per tooth, there is an accessible route to veneer treatment that does not require a large upfront investment.
Common concerns we treat
with veneers
Veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. If any of the following sound familiar, they could be the right option for you.
Discolouration
For teeth that are deeply stained or discoloured in a way that whitening cannot fully address, veneers provide a long-lasting and highly effective solution.
Chips and Cracks
Veneers can restore the shape of a chipped or cracked tooth while also protecting the underlying enamel from further damage.
Gaps Between Teeth
Small gaps or spaces can be closed discreetly using veneers, without the need for orthodontic treatment in many cases.
Uneven or Misshapen Teeth
Teeth that are too short, too pointed or irregular in shape can be reshaped and balanced using veneers to create a more symmetrical smile.
Worn Enamel
Enamel that has worn down over time can be effectively covered with a veneer, restoring both the appearance and some protection to the tooth surface.
Full Smile Makeovers
Multiple veneers can be placed across several teeth in the same treatment plan, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a complete smile transformation.
Two types of veneer,
one clear price for each
We offer both composite and porcelain veneers at transparent, upfront prices. Dr Shah will help you decide which option is right for your goals and budget during your consultation.
Composite Veneers
- Applied directly to the tooth in a single appointment
- No laboratory work required, so results are faster
- Colour-matched and sculpted by hand for a natural finish
- Can be repaired or adjusted relatively easily if needed
- Minimal preparation of the natural tooth required
- A more affordable entry point to veneer treatment
Porcelain Veneers
- Custom-made in a dental laboratory to precise specifications
- Highly resistant to staining compared to composite
- Exceptionally natural-looking with a translucent quality
- Longer lasting than composite veneers with proper care
- Ideal for full smile makeovers or where aesthetics are the priority
- Placed over two appointments to allow for laboratory fabrication
Choosing the right veneer for you
Both types of veneer produce excellent results. The right choice depends on your goals, the number of teeth being treated, and your budget. Here is a straightforward comparison.
| Composite Veneers | Porcelain Veneers | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | From £300 per tooth | From £750 per tooth |
| Appointments needed | Usually one | Usually two (lab fabrication required) |
| Stain resistance | Moderate | High |
| Longevity | Several years with good care | Longer lasting with proper care |
| Repairability | Easy to repair if chipped | Replacement rather than repair if damaged |
| Best suited for | Budget-conscious patients, single teeth | Full smile makeovers, priority on aesthetics |
What to expect from
start to finish
The veneer process is straightforward and well-tolerated by most patients. Here is what happens at each stage.
Free Consultation
We discuss your goals, assess your teeth, and recommend whether composite or porcelain veneers are the better fit for your situation. Video consultations are completely free.
Preparation
A very small amount of the tooth surface may be prepared to ensure the veneer sits flush. For composite veneers, this step is often minimal or not required at all.
Veneer Placed
Composite veneers are applied and sculpted in the same appointment. Porcelain veneers are fitted once the laboratory has fabricated them to your specifications, usually at a second visit.
Final Check
We check the fit, colour and bite before bonding the veneer permanently in place. You leave with a smile that has been checked and refined before you walk out the door.
