Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about dental veneers
Which type of veneer is right for me?
The best veneer type depends on your specific needs, budget, and goals. Ultra-thin veneers are ideal for minor corrections with minimal preparation, porcelain veneers offer maximum durability for major transformations, and composite veneers provide immediate, affordable results. We'll assess your situation during consultation to recommend the best option.
How long do veneers last?
Lifespan varies by type: composite veneers last 5-7 years, ultra-thin veneers last 10-15 years, and traditional porcelain veneers can last 10-20 years with proper care. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene help maximize their longevity.
Are veneers painful to get?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during veneer placement. Local anesthesia is used when tooth preparation is needed. Ultra-thin and composite veneers often require little to no anesthesia due to minimal preparation required.
Can veneers be whitened?
Veneers don't respond to traditional whitening treatments. However, they're designed to resist staining and maintain their color. If you want whiter veneers, new ones would need to be made in a lighter shade.
How much do veneers cost?
Costs vary by type: composite veneers from £180, ultra-thin veneers from £450, and porcelain veneers from £650 per tooth. We offer financing options and will provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.
