Veneers are a very popular form of cosmetic dentistry in which a thin veneer like facing made from porcelain is placed over the tooth. They provide a new layer to replace the flawed, chipped, worn or discoloured enamel.
As you age, your teeth can become discoloured due to a huge number of different causes. Tea, coffee, red wine and spicy foods can all stain your teeth, and there are many other things that can cause your teeth to become discoloured which can’t be treated with simple tooth whitening.
Discolouration from root canal treatment, certain medications or large resin fillings will not be significantly reversed by traditional whitening treatments, as these procedures work best on natural and unaffected enamel.
With dental veneers, a layer of porcelain is placed over the discoloured surface of your tooth, making it appear much lighter and at the same time improving its shape and alignment.
You can also be born with discoloured teeth (congenitally discoloured or malformed teeth) or unsightly banding of the teeth if you had medication or suffered any systemic disease at the time the teeth were developing.
Some people choose to get porcelain veneers to lengthen the appearance of their teeth. Those who suffer with bruxism – a condition which makes you grind, clench or gnash your teeth unconsciously whilst either awake or asleep – will cause teeth to wear down over time.
This can result in teeth looking much shorter than they are meant to, affecting not only the appearance of your smile, but also potentially your ability to incise through food, bite and chew.
Porcelain veneers are bonded to the frontal surfaces of your teeth, but they can be made to extend further if needed. Think of veneers like fake nails, which enhances the appearance of your tooth by improving its shape and colour, but also potentially providing additional functionality and protection for your tooth.
If you choose to do this however, bear in mind that porcelain veneers can become damaged just like real teeth. If you’re seeking veneer treatment, make sure you speak to our dental team in Hampstead about getting a protective mouth guard following the procedure.
Just as porcelain veneers can be used to lengthen the appearance of worn down teeth, they can also be used to cover teeth that have been chipped or broken.
Your dentist will simply smooth off any rough edges before laying your porcelain veneers over the top of any damaged teeth. Then, all you will be able to see is the flawless outer shell of the veneer, leaving you with perfectly shaped teeth.
Porcelain veneers can even be used for wonky and twisted/crowded teeth and those with gaps in between.
Whilst they will not be able to actually straighten your teeth, they can make them appear straighter to the world in just a few appointments. This makes them extremely popular with patients facing lengthy treatment time for other ‘straightening’ methods.
The porcelain veneers are made oversized and when applied, will reduce the gap.

Whilst not exactly a medical problem, some people naturally have teeth which are very short or thin. Unlike cracks and chips, these are not always seen as an aesthetic problem either, however it can still cause some people to become self-conscious about smiling.
In this case, we could completely remodel the appearance of your smile by evening out the size of your teeth to create a much more natural and proportionate appearance, – so you’ll never have to feel like hiding your smile again!
Some patients may have issues with multiple mismatching visible white filings which were carried out at different times and need covering up. These white fillings will often be of different colours or shapes or be stained or have textures that give the appearance of the front teeth an unaesthetic effect.
Porcelain veneer treatment can be the perfect solution if you suffer from one or more of the issues above. Say your teeth are both discoloured and misaligned. To correct these issues individually would take a considerable amount of time, and cost.
With porcelain veneers, you can both brighten and straighten the appearance of your smile in just a few appointments.

A dental veneer is a cosmetic dental procedure used to change the appearance of your teeth. A very thin layer of porcelain is bonded over the front surface of your tooth to cover cracks, chips and discolouration. Veneers can make the tooth appear longer, smoother, healthier, whiter and generally more attractive.

If you‘re unhappy with your smile due to staining, cracks or chips, or your teeth are short or mismatched then dental veneers are the ideal cosmetic procedure to correct these issues and improve your smile.
Porcelain veneers can last for up to 30 years when well cared for. The most common causes of premature failure are both trauma and tooth decay, so it is vital you do everything you can to protect and maintain your new veneers.
Ensuring optimal oral hygiene with regular dental checkups, as well as regular flossing and brushing with non-abrasive toothpastes will help keep complications at bay.
The veneers process only takes a few visits to the dentist; making it a relatively quick and easy way to reimagine your smile. These appointments include:
You may also be asked to come in for a follow up appointment a few weeks after your veneers procedure.
When properly carried out, veneers will not ruin your teeth. However the treatment is irreversible since a portion of enamel is removed to make room for the veneers.
The dental veneers procedure is minimally-invasive with patients reporting no pain or discomfort at all during treatment. The only preparation required for veneers is the removal of a thin layer of enamel from your teeth.
This layer of enamel is equal in thickness to the veneer, so it’s removed to ensure a seamless fit. This can be done under a local anesthetic, and the layer of enamel is so thin that there is no pain for the patient.
Although porcelain is highly resilient to staining and cannot decay, veneers still require the same work to maintain as your natural teeth.
