Veneers & cosmetic bonding
A natural-looking smile makeover, planned around you. From a quick fix for a chipped tooth to a full set of porcelain veneers, we'll help you choose the option that suits your smile and budget.
What we can fix
- Chips and cracks: small repairs that restore the shape of your teeth.
- Gaps: close small spaces between front teeth.
- Stubborn stains: cover discolouration that whitening can't lift.
- Uneven or worn teeth: even out edges and lengths for a balanced smile.
- Slightly crooked teeth: improve how mildly misaligned teeth look, without braces.
- Small or short teeth: add length and shape where you'd like more.
Bonding or veneers?
Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-coloured resin sculpted directly onto your tooth. It's quick, affordable and keeps more of your natural tooth, which makes it ideal for small fixes.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They're very stain-resistant and long-lasting, and better for bigger changes or several teeth.
Not sure which suits you? We'll talk it through at your consultation, and sometimes whitening or Invisalign is the better first step.
Your treatment, step by step
- Cosmetic consultation: we listen to what you'd like to change, check your teeth and gums, and recommend the right option.
- Smile planning: we choose the shape and shade to suit your face and features.
- Bonding: resin is shaped, hardened with a light and polished, all in one visit.
- Veneers: a thin layer of enamel is gently prepared, impressions or scans are taken, and temporaries may be placed while your veneers are made.
- Final fit: your veneers are checked for fit and colour, then permanently bonded in place.
Why it matters
- Confidence in every photo: smile freely without hiding chips or gaps.
- Natural-looking results: shapes and shades matched to your own teeth.
- Options for every budget: from quick bonding to long-lasting porcelain.
- Honest advice: we'll tell you if a simpler treatment will give you the result you want.
Cost & coverage
Veneers and cosmetic bonding are usually considered cosmetic, so most plans don't cover them. Bonding to repair a broken tooth may be partly covered. You'll get a clear written estimate at your consultation. Starting prices and payment
FAQ
Do veneers look fake? Not when they're well planned. We match the shape and shade to your face so they look like your own teeth, only better.
How long do they last? Bonding often lasts several years and is easy to touch up. Porcelain veneers often last many years with good care.
Is it reversible? Bonding usually is. Porcelain veneers need a thin layer of enamel removed, so they're generally permanent. We'll discuss this fully before you decide.
Does it hurt? Bonding usually needs no numbing. For veneers, we numb the area so you stay comfortable.
How do I care for them? Brush and floss as normal, avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
