Porcelain Veneers in Hampstead
Refine, reshape and rejuvenate your smile with precision-crafted porcelain veneers
At Rosslyn Hill Dental Clinic, we offer bespoke porcelain veneers in Hampstead to help patients achieve a whiter, straighter and more balanced smile. Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments for transforming the shape, colour and symmetry of your front teeth with long-lasting results.
Each veneer is individually crafted from ultra-thin porcelain and precisely shaped to cover the front surface of your natural tooth. Veneers are an excellent option for addressing chipped edges, gaps, worn enamel or stubborn stains, offering a full smile transformation with minimal preparation.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Treat?
Veneers can improve the appearance of:
- Chipped or broken front teeth
- Worn or uneven teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Deep stains or discolouration resistant to whitening
- Misshapen or short teeth
- Mild crowding or misalignment (for patients not suitable for orthodontics)
- Uneven smile lines or white fillings affecting the aesthetic
The Porcelain Veneers Process
We take a precise, patient-led approach to every veneer case. Here is what you can expect:
- Consultation and smile assessment: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, evaluate your teeth and gums, and determine whether veneers are right for you. We will also take photographs and possibly digital scans.
- Preview your results: Where appropriate, we may create a mock-up or digital smile design to show how your veneers could look before any preparation begins.
- Tooth preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to allow space for the veneer. This is usually minimal and pain-free.
- Impressions and laboratory work: Precise impressions are taken and sent to our trusted dental lab, where your veneers are handcrafted for natural translucency and shape.
- Fitting and bonding: At your final appointment, the veneers are carefully checked for fit and appearance before being bonded to the teeth using strong adhesive. Your bite is adjusted and the veneers are polished.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
With good care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. They are strong, stain-resistant and do not require special maintenance beyond good oral hygiene. Regular check-ups and hygienist visits help extend their lifespan.
Caring for Your Veneers
To protect your veneers, we recommend:
- Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Using non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste
- Avoiding biting hard items (like ice, pens or fingernails)
- Wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Attending regular check-ups and hygiene appointments
Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers
Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- Composite bonding for smaller cosmetic repairs
- Teeth whitening to brighten your natural teeth
- Orthodontics for more complex misalignment
We will always explain all your options and help you make an informed decision.
Are Veneers Right for Me?
Porcelain veneers are ideal for patients looking for a fast, dramatic and natural-looking enhancement. However, they are not suitable if you have:
- Poor gum health
- Active decay or weakened enamel
- Excessive teeth grinding (without protection)
- Unrealistic expectations
A thorough consultation will determine your suitability.
