Veneers allow us to change the appearance of teeth so we can transform your smile - but we do them in a way that's kind to teeth and can actually strengthen them.
Perfect Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Dreaming of a flawless smile? At The Modern Dentist, we turn those dreams into reality with our custom-made, durable porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are your ticket to a radiant, confident smile, and we do them in a way that's kind to teeth, strengthening both them and your smile.
What Is A Porcelain Veneer?
Porcelain veneers are a custom-made, ultra-thin, and chic facade for your teeth. They're a thin shell of material bonded to the front of your tooth to change its appearance.
They're the perfect solution to completely reimagine and redesign your smile. Unlike composite bonding where we can correct any minor imperfections, with porcelain veneers, we give your teeth and smile a total transformation.
And the best part? Each veneer is crafted uniquely for you, ensuring your smile is authentically yours, and done in a way that doesn't harm your teeth.
Nothing beats the aesthetics of a well-made porcelain veneer.
Our ceramists will use advanced layering techniques to craft veneers that not only mimic but enhance the natural beauty of your teeth, ensuring your smile is both stunning and authentic.
Long-lasting
Crafted from robust porcelain and expertly bonded, these veneers are built to last. So unless you have an accident, your veneers should last for many years without damage.
Minimal impact, maximum strength
We understand the concerns about tooth preparation. That's why our approach is conservative, focusing on preserving your natural tooth structure. The modifications we make are minimal and aimed at strengthening your teeth while providing a significant aesthetic upgrade.
We Do Porcelain Veneers Differently At The Modern Dentist
Traditionally, veneers are worked by drilling the teeth down excessively to make sure there is loads of space everywhere for the lab to build up the porcelain (hence the stumps you see in the Turkey Teeth videos).
Not at The Modern Dentist.
Your new smile starts with a free consultation, where we check that porcelain veneers are right for you. We'll answer any questions you have and make you aware of anything specific to your teeth.
Once you've decided to improve your smile, we'll get to work designing it. We consider how to enhance each tooth for maximum effect, without unnecessary drilling.
Our goal is to add volume and restore what time may have taken away. This thoughtful design phase means that many of your teeth will remain untouched, and those that do need modification are treated with the utmost care to remove only what's necessary.
We'll take a series of photos and scans so that we can create a unique smile that's tailored to you, and fit temporary veneers, so you're already looking amazing.
Once we've created our physical model of your new teeth, we transfer it to your mouth in a temporary material, so you can see if you love it or if there are any changes you want to make.
By using a mock-up of the final design, we can precisely determine where and how much to adjust each tooth.
This approach not only preserves more of your natural tooth but also ensures that the veneers fit perfectly, enhancing strength and aesthetics.
Once we receive the final veneers back, we try them in and let you see them, to make sure they're everything you dreamed they'd be.
Once you approve them, we bond them to the teeth, using bonding technology that means they're on for good.
The result is a set of veneers that enhances your smile while maintaining the integrity of your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
At The Modern Dentist, we aim to make your smile look flawless. We take great care in matching the porcelain veneers to the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, for a perfect fit and natural appearance.
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.
