Veneers in London

Transform Your Smile at Fitzroy Dental Practice

If you have stained, chipped, worn, or uneven teeth, or gaps that affect the appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers can provide a safe, long-lasting and natural-looking solution. At Fitzroy Dental Practice, our highly skilled cosmetic dentists specialise in creating bespoke veneers that enhance the shape, colour and symmetry of your teeth for a beautifully balanced smile.

Porcelain veneers are thin, handcrafted ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They are ideal for correcting cosmetic concerns such as discolouration, mild misalignment, uneven length, and small gaps. We work closely with leading dental laboratories in London to produce exceptional custom-made veneers that deliver stunning, natural results.

What Our Patients Say

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Strong and Durable: Crafted from high-quality ceramic, porcelain veneers are strong, long-lasting and can withstand normal biting and chewing forces.
Long-Lasting Results: With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer.
Perfect Fit: Your veneers are designed using precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring the ideal shape and a seamless, natural blend with your smile.
Fast, Minimally Invasive Treatment: Veneers can usually be completed in just two appointments, with minimal preparation and no complex recovery.
Stain-Resistant: Porcelain resists staining from everyday foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine, keeping your smile bright for years.
Advanced Cosmetic Enhancement: Veneers can instantly transform:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Stained or discoloured teeth
- Small gaps
- Uneven or worn teeth
- Mildly misaligned teeth
Confidence Boost: A visibly improved smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem and boost your confidence in both your personal and professional life.

Your Veneers Journey

Consultation & Smile Assessment: We begin by discussing your concerns, goals and the areas you wish to improve. Together, we create a bespoke veneer plan tailored to your ideal smile.
Shade Selection: You choose your preferred veneer shade—from bright, white tones to more natural, subtle hues.
Tooth Preparation: Some patients may require gum contouring or removal of old fillings. A minimal amount of enamel is gently reshaped to ensure the veneers bond securely.
Custom Veneer Design: We take highly accurate impressions or digital scans that are sent to our world-class dental laboratory to craft your bespoke veneers.
Fitting & Final Adjustments: Your dentist ensures your veneers fit perfectly before bonding them securely. Once fitted, you’ll instantly see the transformation.

Aftercare for Porcelain Veneers

Mild Sensitivity Is Normal: You may experience slight gum tenderness for a few days, which will settle naturally.
Everyday Care: Veneers require the same care as natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily
- Attend routine hygiene appointments
Mindful Eating Habits: To keep veneers bright and intact:
- Limit dark-coloured drinks initially
- Avoid biting hard items (e.g., ice, hard sweets)
- Consider reducing tea, coffee and red wine
- Avoid smoking to prevent staining around the edges
Night Guard for Tooth Grinding: If you grind your teeth, we may recommend a custom night guard to protect your veneers.
Regular Check-Ups: Six-monthly examinations and professional cleaning help preserve the longevity and appearance of your veneers.
