Porcelain Veneers
Family & Specialist Dental Practice in Twickenham
At Claremont Dental Practice in St Margarets, Twickenham, we provide bespoke porcelain veneers to transform the appearance of chipped, worn, discoloured or uneven teeth. Custom-made by skilled dental technicians, porcelain veneers can improve the shape, colour and symmetry of your smile while maintaining a natural appearance.
How do porcelain veneers work?
They are placed and bonded after we have shaped the tooth surface first. We will choose a colour to suit your existing tooth colour, or if requested we can make them as white as you like. A lot of our patients opt for tooth whitening first to freshen up the colour of their existing teeth prior to veneer placement so the veneers can be matched up to the new tooth colour.
Veneers are made from a durable, highly aesthetic, natural looking porcelain, so much so that they can look completely life-like. They are completely customised and made by hand, to match the patient’s existing teeth and smile. Additionally they are also stain resistant, so will always look good! Typically, the patient would book for an assessment so we can talk about what improvements we are aiming for, the possibilities and a predictable end result. It usually then take a visit to mildly prepare the teeth surfaces for the veneers, impressions produced and sent to our lab technician and then hand made and sent back to us within 2 weeks. In the interim we supply and fit temporary veneers (included within the price of the treatment plan).

Frequently Asked Questions
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can enhance the colour, shape, size and overall symmetry of your smile.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, porcelain veneers can often last 10–15 years or longer before requiring replacement.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Modern porcelain veneers are highly translucent and designed to mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel, creating a realistic and attractive result.
Are veneers painful?
Veneer treatment is generally comfortable. Some minor tooth preparation may be required, but local anaesthetic can be used where necessary to ensure patient comfort.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain is highly resistant to staining from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking, helping veneers maintain their appearance over time.
Can veneers fix gaps between teeth?
Yes. Veneers are commonly used to close small gaps between teeth and create a more even smile.
Can veneers correct crooked teeth?
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly uneven or misaligned teeth. More significant alignment issues may be better treated with orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign.
