Thin, custom-made shells that transform the appearance of your teeth while looking entirely natural.

Northampton Private Dentist

What are veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin covers, usually made from porcelain, that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can change the shape, size, colour, or overall appearance of individual teeth with very natural and lasting results.

They’re a versatile option for patients who want to address several concerns at once, such as teeth that are discoloured, chipped, uneven, or slightly misaligned, without the need for more extensive treatment.

Are veneers right for me?

Veneers tend to suit patients who are happy with the overall position of their teeth but want to improve their appearance. Your dentist will carry out a thorough assessment at your consultation and discuss whether veneers are the most appropriate option for your situation, or whether an alternative treatment might give you better long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers are very durable. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last ten to fifteen years or more. Avoiding habits like nail biting or using your teeth as tools will help prolong their lifespan.

Will veneers look natural?

Yes. Porcelain has a translucency that closely mimics natural enamel. We take great care to match the shade and shape to your surrounding teeth, so the result looks natural and feels like part of your own smile.

Does the preparation hurt?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any discomfort during the preparation. Some mild sensitivity in the days following is common and usually settles quickly.
