Dental Veneers in a nutshell
Dental Veneers in Highgate, London
Natural-looking porcelain and composite veneers designed to improve the shape, colour, and symmetry of your smile.
Dental veneers are thin layers of ceramic or composite material bonded to the front surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance.
They are used to create a more even, balanced smile—correcting discolouration, worn edges, minor misalignment, and small gaps.
At Pond Square Dental in Highgate, London, veneers are carefully designed to suit your features, using high-quality materials to achieve natural-looking results.
A consultation allows us to assess your teeth and recommend the most appropriate option for you.
Treatment Options
Ceramic veneers are the most durable and aesthetic option, made from high-quality porcelain designed to closely mimic natural enamel.
They are individually crafted to enhance the shape, symmetry, and colour of your teeth, creating a refined and long-lasting result.
From £800 Available as instalments from £99 per month.
Composite veneers are created using tooth-coloured material applied and shaped directly onto the teeth.
This is a more conservative option that can often be completed in a single visit, making it suitable for improving minor imperfections such as uneven edges, small gaps, or discolouration.
from £380 per tooth
Dental laminates are ultra-thin porcelain shells used to improve the shape, colour, and overall appearance of your teeth.
They require little to no preparation of the natural tooth, making them a more conservative option compared to traditional veneers.
Laminates are best suited for subtle improvements, such as mild discolouration, small gaps, or slight irregularities, creating a natural and refined result.
From £800. Available as instalments from £99 per month.
Treatment Introductions
Veneers
Veneers address cosmetic concerns through an assessment, planning, and treatment process. Simple cases are quick and often completed in a few weeks, while complex cases may involve stabilising underlying issues and creating a more favourable starting point, such as with orthodontics. Treatment includes provisional and definitive phases, with maintenance through regular check-ups and bite guards for lasting results.

More about ceramic veneers
WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE DENTAL VENEERS
Dental veneers are a widely used cosmetic treatment for improving the shape, colour, and overall appearance of teeth in a predictable and long-lasting way.
They can address multiple concerns at once, including discolouration, worn edges, minor misalignment, and uneven tooth shape—creating a more balanced and natural-looking smile.
WHAT CAN DENTAL VENEERS FIX?
Dental veneers can be used to:
- improve tooth colour and brightness
- correct worn or uneven edges
- close small gaps between teeth
- improve symmetry and proportions
- refine the appearance of mild misalignment
Each veneer is custom designed to match your natural teeth, ensuring a subtle and harmonious result.
PORCELAIN VS COMPOSITE VENEERS
Porcelain veneers are the most durable and natural-looking option. They are crafted from high-quality ceramic designed to closely mimic natural enamel and resist staining.
Composite veneers are a more conservative alternative, using tooth-coloured material applied directly to the teeth. They are suitable for minor improvements and can often be completed in one visit.
The most appropriate option depends on your goals, the condition of your teeth, and the level of change required.
HOW LONG DO VENEERS LAST?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
Composite veneers usually last 5–7 years and may require maintenance over time.
Longevity depends on good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding excessive pressure on the teeth.
ARE DENTAL VENEERS SAFE?
Dental veneers are a safe and well-established treatment when carried out by an experienced dentist.
Where possible, a minimally invasive approach is used to preserve natural tooth structure while achieving a predictable and aesthetic result.
ALTERNATIVES TO DENTAL VENEERS
Depending on your needs, alternative treatments may be recommended:
- composite bonding for minor cosmetic changes
- teeth whitening to improve colour
- orthodontic treatment (such as Invisalign) for alignment
- crowns for heavily restored or weakened teeth
Your dentist will always advise on the most suitable and conservative option.
VENEERS AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is normal to experience mild sensitivity after veneer placement, which typically settles within a few days.
To maintain your veneers:
- brush and clean between teeth daily
- attend regular dental examinationexamination and hygiene appointments
- avoid biting hard objects directly with veneered teeth
- wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
With proper care, veneers should feel natural and function like your own teeth.
