What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin coverings placed over the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. They can change the colour, shape, size, or length of a tooth and are custom-made to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth.
At Woodberry Down we offer two types of veneer. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory and bonded to the tooth surface for a durable, long-lasting result. Composite veneers use the same resin material as composite bonding, applied directly at the chairside for a more accessible and reversible option. Both can produce excellent results. The right choice depends on your teeth, your goals, and your budget.
What Can Veneers Improve?
Veneers are suited to patients who want to make a significant improvement to the appearance of one or more teeth. Common concerns we treat include:
Permanent discolouration or staining that does not respond to whitening
Teeth that are chipped, worn, or fractured
Uneven tooth length or an irregular smile line
Gaps or spaces between teeth
Teeth that are misshapen or poorly proportioned
A smile that lacks symmetry or balance overall
At your consultation we assess your teeth as a whole and discuss the outcome you are looking for. If veneers are not the most appropriate option, we will tell you clearly and discuss alternatives.
Your Treatment Journey
Porcelain veneers
-
Step one
Consultation
We assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and confirm whether porcelain veneers are suitable. A written quote is provided before you commit.
-
Step two
Tooth preparation
A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to create space for the veneer. An impression or digital scan is taken and sent to the laboratory.
-
Step three
Temporary veneers
Temporary veneers are fitted while your permanent ones are being made, usually for one to two weeks.
-
Step four
Fitting
Your porcelain veneers are checked for fit and shade, then bonded permanently to the tooth surface.
-
Step five
Review
We check your bite and make any fine adjustments. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to assess the long-term result.
Composite veneers
-
Step one
Consultation
We assess your teeth and confirm suitability. A written quote is provided before you commit.
-
Step two
Shade matching
We select a resin shade that closely matches your surrounding teeth. If you are considering teeth whitening, we recommend doing this first.
-
Step three
Application
The resin is applied directly to the tooth surface, shaped, and sculpted to achieve the desired result.
-
Step four
Curing and polishing
The resin is hardened using a curing light and polished to a smooth, natural finish.
-
Step five
Review
We check your bite and make any fine adjustments before you leave.

Book ConsultationFrequently asked questions
We understand you may have questions before booking. Here are some of the most common.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are the more durable option and can last well over a decade with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. Composite veneers will typically need refreshing or replacing after a few years. Both benefit from avoiding habits such as nail biting or biting into hard foods.
How much do veneers cost in North London?
Costs vary depending on the type of veneer and the number of teeth involved. A written breakdown is provided at your consultation before anything is confirmed. 0% interest-free finance is available. Call us now or see our fees page for more detail.
Do veneers damage your teeth?
Composite veneers are reversible in most cases and require no removal of tooth structure. Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which means the process is irreversible. Your clinician will explain exactly what is involved for your specific case at your consultation.
What is the difference between veneers and composite bonding?
Both treatments use similar materials and can address similar concerns. Composite bonding is applied in smaller amounts to repair or reshape specific areas of a tooth. Composite veneers cover the entire front surface for a more comprehensive change. Porcelain veneers offer greater durability and stain resistance. Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate option at your consultation. See our composite bonding page for more detail.
Can I whiten my teeth after getting veneers?
Veneers do not respond to whitening treatments. If you are considering teeth whitening, we recommend completing this before your veneers are made so they can be shade-matched to your whitened teeth.
