The Treatment

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of high-quality dental ceramic, precision-crafted to bond to the front surface of your teeth. Each veneer is individually designed to improve the colour, shape, size and alignment of the tooth it covers — delivering a natural-looking smile transformation that is virtually indistinguishable from your own teeth.

Unlike composite bonding, which builds material directly onto the tooth, porcelain veneers are fabricated in a specialist dental laboratory to exacting specifications. The result is a longer-lasting, more stain-resistant and more aesthetically refined outcome — considered the gold standard in cosmetic smile makeovers.

At Envy Smile in London, Dr Hemani Gill has delivered over 50,000 cosmetic dental treatments and approaches each veneer case as an individual smile design project. From a single veneer to a full smile makeover, the process is meticulous, personalised and designed to produce results that look completely natural.

Veneer Options at Envy Smile London

We offer three smile enhancement options at Envy Smile. During your free consultation, Dr Hemani will assess your teeth, discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable treatment — or a combination — for your smile.

Gold Standard
Option 1

Porcelain Veneers

£695

per tooth — lab-fabricated ceramic

Custom-crafted in a specialist dental laboratory from high-quality dental porcelain. Each veneer is precision-designed to transform the colour, shape and proportion of individual teeth. The most durable, natural-looking and stain-resistant option available.

  • ✓ Lasts 15–20 years with good care
  • ✓ Highly stain-resistant surface
  • ✓ Most natural translucency and aesthetics
  • ✓ Correct colour, shape and alignment
  • ✓ Individual smile design per patient
Option 2

Composite Veneers

£400

per tooth — chairside composite resin

Applied directly to the tooth surface in a single visit using composite resin, sculpted and polished by Dr Hemani. A more affordable entry point for a smile transformation with no laboratory wait time — ideal for patients seeking improvement without the permanence of porcelain.

  • ✓ Completed in one appointment
  • ✓ No lab fabrication — same-day results
  • ✓ Repairable if chipped
  • ✓ Lasts 5–7 years on average
  • ✓ More affordable than porcelain
Option 3

Composite Edge Bonding

£295

per tooth — targeted edge enhancement

Rather than covering the entire tooth surface, composite edge bonding adds material specifically to chipped, worn or uneven edges — reshaping them to create a more even, youthful smile. A targeted, minimally invasive solution for minor aesthetic concerns.

  • ✓ Minimally invasive — no drilling
  • ✓ Corrects chipped or worn edges
  • ✓ Same-day results
  • ✓ No anaesthetic required
  • ✓ Great entry-level smile enhancement
Is It Right For You?

Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are suitable for adults with good underlying dental health who want to address one or more cosmetic concerns. Active decay or gum disease must be treated before veneers are placed. Dr Hemani will assess your suitability thoroughly during your free consultation.

Discoloured or Stained Teeth

Deep intrinsic staining that does not respond to professional whitening — including tetracycline staining, fluorosis marks or discolouration from root canal treatment — can be effectively masked with porcelain veneers.

Chipped or Worn Teeth

Teeth that have been worn down by grinding (bruxism), chipped through accident or simply shortened over time can be restored to their original shape, length and proportion with precision-crafted veneers.

Misshapen or Uneven Teeth

Unusually shaped teeth — too small, too large, too pointy or irregularly proportioned — can be redesigned with porcelain veneers to achieve a symmetrical, balanced and harmonious smile.

Gaps Between Teeth

Small gaps or spacing between front teeth (diastema) can be closed with veneers without the need for orthodontic treatment — typically achieving results in two or three appointments.

Mildly Misaligned Teeth

Veneers can create the appearance of straighter teeth by correcting minor crowding or rotation — an approach sometimes called "instant orthodontics", most appropriate where tooth positions are close to ideal.

Smile Makeover Goals

Patients seeking a complete aesthetic transformation — whiter, more proportionate, more symmetrical teeth — often choose a set of 6, 8 or 10 porcelain veneers to achieve a cohesive, high-quality smile design result.

💡 Whiten First: If you're considering porcelain veneers on some teeth and have natural teeth remaining, we recommend completing professional teeth whitening first. Your veneer shade will then be matched to your new, brighter tooth colour — ensuring a consistent result across all your teeth.
🦷 Important — Irreversibility: Porcelain veneers require a small, permanent removal of enamel to ensure a natural fit. This means the treatment is irreversible — your teeth will always need to be covered with veneers or crowns going forward. This is an important consideration, and Dr Hemani will ensure you are fully informed before any preparation begins.
Step by Step

The Porcelain Veneer Process at Envy Smile

From your first consultation to your final smile reveal, here is exactly what to expect at every stage of your porcelain veneer journey at our Shepherds Bush practice.

1

Free Consultation & Smile Design

Dr Hemani assesses your teeth, discusses your goals, takes photographs and designs your ideal smile. Shade selection, number of veneers and tooth preparation requirements are agreed. No obligation.

2

Tooth Preparation & Impressions

A minimal amount of enamel (0.3–0.5mm) is removed under local anaesthetic. Digital impressions or moulds are taken and sent to our specialist dental laboratory. Temporary veneers are fitted.

3

Laboratory Fabrication

Your custom porcelain veneers are individually hand-crafted to your smile design specification. This typically takes 2–3 weeks. You wear your temporary veneers during this period.

4

Trial & Approval

Your new porcelain veneers are placed temporarily so you can assess the colour, shape and fit. Any refinements are made before final bonding — ensuring you love your smile before it is permanent.

5

Bonding & Final Fit

Each veneer is bonded permanently to the prepared tooth surface using a specialist dental adhesive and light-cured to create an exceptionally strong, long-lasting bond. Final adjustments and polish complete the process.

Total treatment timeline: The porcelain veneer process at Envy Smile typically spans 3–5 weeks across 2–3 appointments. You will leave your final appointment with a permanent, natural-looking smile transformation that can last 15–20 years.
Making the Right Choice

Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Veneers — Which Is Right for You?

Both porcelain and composite veneers can deliver beautiful results — but they differ significantly in longevity, aesthetics, cost and process. Here is a comprehensive comparison to help you make an informed decision.

Porcelain Veneers Composite Veneers Edge Bonding
Cost at Envy Smile £695 per tooth £400 per tooth £295 per tooth
Longevity 15–20 years 5–7 years 3–5 years
Appointments needed 2–3 visits over 3–5 weeks 1 visit 1 visit
Stain resistance Excellent — highly resistant Moderate — may stain over time Moderate — may stain over time
Aesthetic quality Finest — glass-like translucency Very good — skilled hand-sculpting Good — for edge corrections
Tooth preparation Minimal enamel removal (0.3–0.5mm) Usually none required None required
Reversible? No — permanent commitment Partially — can be removed Partially reversible
Repairability Must be replaced if damaged Can be repaired chairside Can be repaired chairside
Best for Permanent, premium smile makeover Affordable full transformation Chipped or worn edges only
Dr Hemani's Advice: For patients seeking the most natural, longest-lasting result and who are committed to a permanent change, porcelain veneers are the superior investment. For those wanting a beautiful improvement with flexibility and lower upfront cost, composite veneers are an excellent option. Dr Hemani will recommend the most suitable treatment for your individual teeth and goals at your free consultation.

Longevity & Care

How to Care for Your Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can last 15–20 years with good care. They are robust, stain-resistant and designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily life. Following these guidelines will maximise the life and appearance of your veneers:

✓ Do

  • ✓ Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste
  • ✓ Floss daily — veneers don't protect the gum line from gum disease
  • ✓ Attend 6-monthly check-ups and hygienist appointments
  • ✓ Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth (bruxism) — essential for veneer longevity
  • ✓ Contact us promptly if a veneer chips, cracks or feels loose
  • ✓ Use fluoride mouthwash to protect the tooth margins

✗ Avoid

  • ✗ Biting your nails, pens or hard objects with veneered teeth
  • ✗ Using teeth to open packaging, bottles or similar
  • ✗ Biting into very hard foods directly with front veneers (use back teeth)
  • ✗ Abrasive whitening toothpastes — they can damage the veneer surface
  • ✗ Excessive alcohol-based mouthwashes — can weaken the bonding resin over time
  • ✗ Grinding or clenching without a protective nightguard
Nightguard Recommendation: If you grind or clench your teeth — even mildly — wearing a custom nightguard is strongly recommended to protect your veneer investment. Grinding is one of the most common causes of premature veneer failure. Dr Hemani will assess this at your consultation and recommend a nightguard if appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Porcelain Veneers London — FAQs

At Envy Smile, porcelain veneers cost £695 per tooth. Composite veneers are £400 per tooth and composite edge bonding is £295 per tooth. London prices across other practices typically range from £600 to £1,800 per tooth for porcelain. We offer 0% finance over 6 or 10 months to spread the cost, with no hidden fees — your consultation, smile design planning and aftercare are all included.
Porcelain veneers typically last 15–20 years with proper care. Key factors that maximise longevity include good oral hygiene, regular check-ups, wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and avoiding habits like nail-biting or using your teeth to open packaging. Composite veneers last 5–7 years on average and composite bonding 3–5 years.
Porcelain veneers require a small, permanent removal of enamel — typically 0.3–0.5mm from the front surface — to ensure the veneer sits flush and looks natural. This is minimal preparation, and the veneers actually protect the underlying tooth surface. However, the procedure is irreversible: your teeth will always need to be covered with veneers or crowns going forward. This is discussed fully at your consultation before any commitment is made.
This depends on your smile goals and which teeth are visible when you smile. The most common combinations are 4, 6, 8 or 10 veneers on the upper teeth. Some patients only require a single veneer to address a specific concern. Dr Hemani will photograph your smile, assess your bite and facial proportions, and advise on the optimal number during your smile design consultation.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory from high-quality ceramic, last 15–20 years, are highly stain-resistant and provide the most natural, glass-like translucency. Composite veneers are applied chairside in a single visit using composite resin — more affordable, completed in one appointment, repairable if chipped, but lasting 5–7 years and more susceptible to staining over time. Porcelain is the gold standard for a permanent, premium smile transformation.
The preparation appointment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel any pain during treatment. Some patients experience mild sensitivity to hot and cold on the prepared teeth while wearing temporary veneers — this typically resolves once the permanent veneers are bonded. Dr Hemani takes great care to ensure patient comfort at every stage of the process.
Yes. At Envy Smile we carry out a thorough smile design consultation using photographs and shade analysis before any preparation begins. Temporary veneers are also fitted following preparation, giving you a preview of your final result. Any aesthetic adjustments can be made before the permanent veneers are bonded — we want you to love your smile before it is finalised.
Yes — if you have natural teeth remaining alongside your veneers, we recommend completing professional teeth whitening at least 2 weeks before your veneer preparation appointment. Your veneer shade will be matched to your whitened teeth, ensuring a consistent, bright result. Porcelain veneers cannot be whitened once they are bonded — so whitening first is essential for a cohesive outcome.
The porcelain veneer process at Envy Smile typically spans 3–5 weeks across 2–3 appointments: an initial consultation and smile design session; a preparation and impression appointment where temporary veneers are fitted; and a final bonding appointment once the laboratory has fabricated your permanent veneers (usually 2–3 weeks later).
Yes, porcelain veneers can create the appearance of straighter, more evenly spaced teeth without orthodontic treatment — often called "instant orthodontics". They are most effective for mild crowding, minor rotations and gaps. For significant misalignment, Dr Hemani may recommend combining veneers with Invisalign or suggest orthodontics as a first step. This will be discussed at your consultation.
No. Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure and are not available on the NHS. However, we offer 0% interest-free finance over 6 or 10 months at Envy Smile, making treatment accessible to a wider range of budgets. Finance can be applied for at or before your consultation appointment.
Veneer maintenance is straightforward: brush twice daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and attend 6-monthly check-ups and hygienist appointments. If you grind your teeth, wear a custom nightguard. Avoid using your front teeth to bite hard objects. With good habits, your porcelain veneers can comfortably last 15–20 years.
