We can address chipped, cracked, or worn teeth, stubborn discolouration that won't respond to whitening, gaps between teeth, misshapen or uneven teeth, minor misalignment, old fillings or crowns that show, and general smile dissatisfaction. Your free consultation will determine the best solutions for your specific concerns.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, porcelain veneers typically last 10-20 years or longer. They're highly durable, stain-resistant, and maintain their appearance beautifully. Avoiding very hard foods and not using teeth as tools helps maximise their lifespan.

At St Mary's Dental, we specialise in natural-looking veneers that enhance your smile without looking artificial. We carefully match the colour, shape, and translucency to your facial features and natural teeth. The result is a beautiful smile that looks completely authentic - people notice your smile, not your dental work.

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells custom-made in a lab and permanently bonded to your teeth - they offer superior aesthetics and durability (10-20+ years). Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin applied directly to teeth in one visit - it's more affordable and reversible but typically lasts 5-7 years before needing touch-ups.

Costs depend on the extent of treatment. Composite bonding ranges from £150-£300 per tooth, veneers from £650-£950 per tooth. A typical smile makeover (6-10 teeth) costs £3,500-£8,000. We offer 0% interest finance to spread costs affordably. Full transparent pricing is provided at your free consultation.

Traditional veneers require removing a small amount of enamel (about 0.5mm - the thickness of a contact lens) to accommodate the veneer. However, we offer minimal-prep and no-prep options where suitable. We always recommend the most conservative approach that achieves your goals while preserving maximum tooth structure.

Composite bonding can often be completed in 1-2 visits. Porcelain veneers typically require 2-3 appointments over 3-4 weeks for design, preparation, laboratory work, and fitting. Complete smile makeovers vary by complexity but usually take 4-8 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline at your consultation.
