Veneers in Harrow
Thin, custom-made porcelain shells that transform the look of your teeth, beautifully natural, wonderfully durable, and shaped just for you. The smile you've always wanted, made real.
A bespoke makeover for your smile
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain, bonded to the front of your teeth to change their colour, shape and alignment. Each one is crafted to suit your face, giving a beautifully natural finish that's also remarkably hard-wearing and resistant to staining.
What veneers can put right
Veneers are one of the most transformative options in cosmetic dentistry, often improving several things at once for a complete change. Here's what they can address.
Stubborn discolouration: Stains and deeper discolouration that whitening can't shift are covered for a bright, even shade.
Chips and worn edges: Damaged or worn-down teeth are restored to a strong, even and natural-looking shape.
Gaps and spacing: Noticeable gaps can be closed for a fuller, more balanced smile, without braces.
Shape and alignment: Slightly crooked, uneven or misshapen teeth can be made to look beautifully straight and uniform.
Your new smile, step by step
Carefully planned, beautifully craftedPlanning your smile
We begin by talking through exactly what you'd like, then plan the shape, shade and look of your veneers together. This is where your new smile takes shape, designed around your face and your wishes.
Preparing the teeth
A very thin layer is gently removed from the front of the teeth to make room for the veneers. We then take precise impressions or a digital scan of your teeth, and you'll usually wear temporary veneers while yours are made.
Crafting your veneers
Your veneers are custom-made to the colour and shape we agreed, by a skilled dental laboratory. Each one is created just for you, so the finished result looks as natural as possible.
Fitting and finishing
At your final visit we carefully bond the veneers in place, check the fit and the way they feel when you bite, and polish them to a natural shine. You'll walk out with the smile you've been waiting for.

Keeping your veneers looking their best
Veneers are hard-wearing and easy to live with, and a little everyday care keeps them looking good for many years. Here's how to look after them.
Care for them like natural teeth
Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth as usual. Good daily habits keep the gumline healthy and your veneers looking their best, with no special products needed.
Protect the edges
Porcelain is strong, but try not to bite directly into very hard items like ice or pen lids. If you grind your teeth at night, a thin guard helps protect your investment.
Naturally stain-resistant
Porcelain resists staining far better than natural enamel, so your veneers hold their colour well. Cutting back on smoking and red wine still helps the rest of your smile stay matched.
We'll keep an eye on them
Keep up your routine check-ups so we can make sure your veneers, gums and bite all stay healthy. With good care, they'll keep looking well for many years.
The right smile doesn't just look good. It feels like you.
