Veneers, Planned Around Your Smile
A veneer only looks natural if the plan starts with your face, not with a single tooth. We look at the shape of your smile, the way your lip moves and the shade of the teeth either side before anything is prepared — and we show you the plan before we begin.
Here is a look inside our Chester practice.
What can veneers fix?
Veneers are versatile, addressing a range of concerns, including:
Stained teeth – If teeth whitening hasn’t given you the brightness you’re after, veneers can cover discolouration and give you a radiant smile.
Chips and cracks – Small imperfections like chips and cracks can be effortlessly hidden with veneers, giving your teeth a smooth and polished look.
Gaps between teeth – Veneers can close minor gaps without the need for braces or Invisalign®.
Straighter teeth without braces – Veneers can also create the appearance of straighter teeth without the need for orthodontics.
In short, veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed over your natural teeth. They not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also provide added protection to your teeth.
Types of veneers
There are two primary types of veneers, each with its own benefits:
Porcelain veneers – Known for their durability and natural appearance, porcelain veneers require a precise fitting and may involve removing a small amount of enamel.
Composite resin veneers – These are more affordable and involve less tooth preparation. They can often be applied in a single visit but may not last as long as porcelain veneers.
Magnified precision for delicate work
Veneer preparation is measured in fractions of a millimetre — our dentists work under magnification to protect your natural tooth.
The Veneer Process: What to Expect
The journey to a better smile with veneers is straightforward. It begins with an initial consultation to discuss your goals and assess the condition of your teeth. Once we’ve created your custom treatment plan, your veneers are carefully crafted to match the color, size, and shape that will suit your smile best. When your veneers are ready, they will be bonded to your teeth, giving you a natural, flawless look.
Why Choose Veneers?
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution. Whether you’re looking to brighten your smile, fix minor imperfections, or achieve a straighter appearance, veneers offer a quick and lasting transformation. They are durable, resistant to staining, and designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a polished and confident look for years to come.
The veneers journey
Consultation
We begin by discussing your goals and assessing your teeth to ensure veneers are the right option for you.
Customisation
We take impressions of your teeth. For porcelain veneers, these go to a lab to create your custom veneers, while composite resin can be sculpted directly onto your teeth in the same visit.
Preparation
Minor adjustments to your teeth are made to ensure a perfect fit, which may involve removing a small layer of enamel for porcelain veneers.
Application
Your custom veneers are bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive for porcelain or shaped directly for composite resin.
Aftercare for veneers
Keeping your veneers looking their best is simple!
Regular brushing and flossing are essential to maintaining your veneers and overall oral health.
Avoid biting hard foods to prevent damaging your veneers.
Limit staining foods and drinks like coffee and wine, and visit us regularly for checkups to keep your veneers in top shape.
Our Approach To Veneers
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all dentistry. Veneers are prepared in fractions of a millimetre, so every case is planned around the tooth you already have — keeping as much healthy enamel as possible and matching the shade to the teeth around it.
Preparation only begins once your teeth and gums are healthy, so the result lasts as well as it looks.

Your Veneer Questions, Answered
Porcelain veneers commonly last ten years or more with good care; composite veneers are usually replaced or refreshed sooner. Regular check-ups and avoiding hard biting keep them at their best.
Porcelain veneers need a very thin layer of enamel removed so they sit flush. We work under magnification to keep that to the minimum, and some cases need little or no preparation at all.
Porcelain is stronger, more stain-resistant and made in a laboratory; composite is more affordable, needs less preparation and can often be done in a single visit. We will talk through both at your consultation.
Not if they are planned properly. We match shade, shape and translucency to the teeth around them, and you see the plan before we commit to it.
