In brief
Dental veneers are wafer-thin, durable porcelain laminates, made to fit your teeth, that disguise staining, small gaps and misalignment. At Thorpe Lea Dental in Staines, a small amount of enamel is prepared and your teeth are digitally scanned, then your veneers are fitted a couple of weeks later.
Disguise imperfections in your smile
Dental veneers are wafer-thin yet strong and durable porcelain laminates shaped to perfectly mask and disguise imperfections such as staining and misalignments of your natural teeth.
Our dentists in Staines use this minimally invasive procedure to improve the appearance of your tooth surface and its colour with beautiful, natural-looking results.
Close small gaps
Veneers can help to close small gaps in your teeth and improve their texture and shape.
Natural-looking results
Porcelain veneers mask staining and misalignment for a beautiful, natural-looking smile enhancement.
Durable and chip-resistant
Wafer-thin yet strong, porcelain veneers are long-lasting and chip-resistant. Well cared for, they can last between five and 15 years.
Made to fit you
Your veneers are tailor-made by professional technicians for the best shape and shade, whether you need one, a few or a full set.
What you need to know about veneers
It’s important to gather as much information as possible to decide whether veneers are the right solution for you, but our experienced dentists will be able to talk you through any further questions you have.
You can have just one veneer fitted to cover a broken or damaged tooth, a few veneers, or even a full set of veneers for a complete smile transformation. Your veneers will be tailor-made for you by professional technicians to achieve the best possible shape and shade for your smile transformation.
The veneers process
Whether you’re comfortable visiting the dentist, you’re a nervous patient, or someone in between; we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and at ease with the very best patient experience with us.

…true expert in what he does. I had long been self-conscious about my smile after a childhood accident led to a small gap between my front teeth. But thanks to Colin who suggested a resin bonding procedure to fill the gap I now have a smile that I'm proud of and even get complimented on by others! I can't thank him enough.”

Dental Veneers questions
Can I whiten my teeth if I have veneers?
No, because teeth whitening can only remove any post-treatment stains on your veneers, but it won’t alter their original shade. It’s a good idea to have your teeth whitened before you get veneers so they can be shade-matched to your whitened teeth.
How long do veneers last?
At some stage, your veneers might need to be replaced, but if they’re well taken care of, you can expect your veneers to last between five and 15 years.
What shouldn’t I eat if I have veneers?
Veneers are made of very strong material and bonded to your teeth so you can still eat most things, but be careful when eating hard foods and avoid anything that could potentially crack or damage your veneers.
