Porcelain Veneers

Your porcelain veneers are built to stand the test of time.

With the right care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, you can enjoy your stunning new smile for 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer.

Just remember, treating them with care will extend their lifespan, so avoid using your teeth as tools and avoid hard, brittle materials like plastic and nail biting.

Let's clear this up: at The Modern Dentist, when you get veneers, your teeth remain largely intact.

If necessary, a small amount of enamel is removed to ensure a perfect fit and a natural look, but rest assured, your teeth are still there healthy and functioning.

Plus, the veneer acts as a protective shield, helping to safeguard your teeth from further wear or decay.

Thanks largely to social media, people have become a lot more informed about porcelain veneers and, in particular, "Turkey Teeth."

We think this is a good thing, as it's made people aware of the potential dangers, and reluctant to do something very damaging to their teeth.

Unfortunately, it's made people wary of veneers in general, and there's less understanding about how veneers can be good for your teeth when done properly, as well as making them look amazing.

Yes, they can. While the primary goal of veneers is to enhance the appearance of your teeth, they can also add a bit of strength to teeth that are worn down or slightly chipped.

The porcelain provides an additional layer of protection, helping to fortify your teeth against future damage.

However, it's important to remember that veneers aren't a fix for severely damaged or decayed teeth, which may require more comprehensive treatment.

At The Modern Dentist, porcelain veneers are priced at £950 per tooth. What do you get for that? Custom-made veneers to fit your teeth perfectly and enhance your smile naturally. Plus, we offer free consultations to help you plan your perfect smile.

During your consultation, we'll discuss your dental goals, evaluate your overall health, and create a tailored treatment plan. We believe in transparent pricing and exceptional quality, meaning you get the best value for your investment. For more details, check out our price list.

Unfortunately, the NHS doesn't cover porcelain veneers as they're considered cosmetic. But that doesn’t make them unaffordable. We offer various payment plans at The Modern Dentist to help you achieve your dream smile without breaking the bank.

Our porcelain veneers cost £950 per tooth, and we provide interest-free financing options for treatments over £1,000. This way, you can spread the cost of your veneers over several months, making it more affordable.

We also accept dental insurance from various providers, including AXA, SimplyHealth, Vitality, Cigna, and more. In some instances, insurance providers will cover porcelain veneers. Contact us to learn more about our flexible payment options.

Yes, porcelain veneers can be great for your teeth. They not only improve your smile but also add a protective layer. Veneers can cover and protect chipped, discoloured, or worn down teeth, providing a strong and durable solution. 

At The Modern Dentist, we use minimally invasive techniques to preserve your natural tooth structure while enhancing your smile​.

Composite veneers are a fantastic alternative to porcelain veneers at £450 per tooth. Composite veneers can be applied in a single visit and require less preparation of the natural tooth compared to porcelain veneers. They offer similar aesthetic benefits and are less invasive.

Composite bonding is another affordable option that can address minor imperfections. Let’s discuss the best option for your smile and budget at your next visit.

Absolutely! Porcelain veneers are crafted to mimic the natural look of your teeth. They’re made from high-quality porcelain that reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel, giving them a lifelike appearance.

Our skilled professionals design each veneer to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth, totally transforming your smile into one you’ve been dreaming of.

Gum disease can affect the stability and longevity of your veneers, so it’s important to treat any gum issues first to ensure the best results from your veneers.

At The Modern Dentist, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to help you achieve optimal gum health before proceeding with cosmetic treatments. Don't worry; we're here to guide you through every step and make sure your mouth is ready for your transformed smile.

When done by skilled professionals, porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable. They’re designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so the only thing people notice is how amazing your smile is.

A full set of veneers usually consists of 8 to 10 veneers each on the upper and lower front teeth, which are the most visible when you smile. However, the number can vary based on your individual needs and aesthetic goals.

Let's discuss your specific needs at your consultation and create a plan that’s right for you.
