Dental veneers are an increasingly popular cosmetic dentistry treatment used to transform smiles around the world and we are delighted to offer them here at Purley Dental Care. These wafer-thin, custom-made ‘shells’ are typically crafted from porcelain or composite resin and are designed to cover the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are an effective solution for addressing a variety of dental imperfections, including stained or discolored teeth, chipped or misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, and even minor misalignment issues.
One of the key advantages of dental veneers is their ability to provide a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance while preserving much of the natural tooth structure. The procedure involves minimal tooth reduction, making it a conservative option for smile enhancement. Veneers are also highly durable and resistant to staining, offering long-lasting results with proper care.
The process of getting dental veneers typically involves a consultation with our team to assess your suitability, tooth preparation, veneer manufacture, and final bonding. With their ability to deliver dramatic smile transformations, dental veneers have become a sought-after solution for individuals looking to achieve a flawless and radiant smile to match the ‘A’ listers!
Consultation - your journey begins with a consultation with one of our skilled cosmetic dentists. During this initial appointment, you'll discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. We’ll perform a thorough examination of your oral health and may take X-rays or impressions to plan your smile makeover as effectively as possible.
Your Treatment Plan - based on your unique needs and wishes, your dentist will develop a personalised treatment plan. This plan may involve dental veneers, or a combination of veneers and composite bonding.
Dental Veneers - veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain or composite resin, which are custom designed to fit over the front surface of your teeth. We will remove a small amount of enamel to ensure a secure bond and precise fit. Then, the veneers are permanently attached to your teeth, instantly transforming their appearance. Veneers are excellent for resolving problems with discoloration, gaps, misalignment, and minor tooth imperfections.
Final Touches - after the veneers are applied, your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and natural look. This may include shaping and polishing the restorations to match your surrounding teeth. Your smile makeover is complete!
Maintenance - proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain your new smile. Veneers can last for several years with good care.

Veneers are typically painless, and local anaesthesia is rarely needed. Some patients might experience minor discomfort or sensitivity during the process, but it's usually manageable and should recede quickly.
Veneers can last 10-15 years or more. As with many dental treatments, the durability depends on your oral care and habits
To place veneers, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the surface of the tooth, making the process irreversible. However, this is a minor alteration that usually doesn't harm your teeth.
Veneers made of porcelain are highly stain-resistant. However it's advisable to avoid excessive consumption of staining substances like coffee or red wine.
