Are you dreaming of a perfect smile? Veneers, also known as teeth capping, could be the answer. At Balham Dental Studio, we can create a stunning, natural-looking smile with porcelain veneers.
A thin tooth-coloured shell is placed on the front of a tooth or teeth to improve the appearance of discoloured, irregularly shaped, or damaged teeth. They are usually fitted to the front upper and lower teeth, and made from ceramic, porcelain, or a composite material. Veneers offer a minimally invasive way to transform a tooth as only a very thin layer of enamel is removed (if any) prior to fitting.
Book a consultationUnlike tooth straightening which needs several months for you to see results, veneers only need a couple of appointments for us to get your new smile underway.
Thanks to modern materials, we can create thin and strong veneers that require less tooth needing to be removed. In some cases, we don’t have to treat the tooth at all.
First, we’ll have a friendly consultation to check your teeth and gums are healthy. We’ll talk about what you’d like your smile to look like and what you hope to achieve. Then, we’ll put together a plan just for you, so you’ll know the costs and how long it might take.
Sometimes, we’ll take a mould of your teeth to create models. These help us design your new veneers and show you how lovely your smile could look.
Once you’re happy with the plan, we’ll gently prepare your teeth by removing a very thin layer from the front. We’ll then take a scan or another mould to send to our skilled lab, which will craft your custom veneers. While they’re being made, we’ll give you temporary veneers to protect your teeth.
Finally, when your beautiful new veneers are ready, you’ll come back for a fitting. We’ll make absolutely sure you’re happy with the way they look and feel before carefully and securely bonding them to your teeth with a special dental adhesive. We want you to leave with a smile you truly love!
Find out more about veneersOnce your lovely veneers are in place, just keep up your regular brushing and flossing routine, just like you would with your natural teeth. We’ll give you some helpful tips to make sure your dental hygiene stays top-notch and to keep an eye on your teeth and gums.
While veneers are strong, a little care goes a long way. Try to avoid habits like biting your nails or chewing on pens, and it’s best not to use your veneers to open things. Also, be mindful of very hard foods that could potentially chip or damage them.
Think of veneers as a wonderful way to quickly and effectively achieve that bright, perfect smile you’ve been wanting. Whether it’s a small touch-up or a complete smile makeover, veneers offer a lasting, natural-looking solution that can really boost your confidence and give you a reason to smile wide!

Book your cosmetic consultation today!When done properly, veneers look incredibly natural! We carefully select the shade and shape to match your existing teeth and create a seamless blend. Modern porcelain and composite materials mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, so they’ll look bright and lifelike.
Most patients find the veneer placement process to be quite comfortable. We usually apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. There might be some mild sensitivity afterwards, but this usually subsides quickly.
Veneers are an investment in your smile, and the cost can vary depending on the material used and the number of veneers you need. While they might be more expensive than other cosmetic options like composite bonding, they offer excellent durability and a natural appearance. We can discuss the cost and payment options during your consultation.
Yes! Veneers are excellent for masking a range of imperfections, including severe discolouration, chips, cracks, and gaps. They can dramatically improve the appearance of damaged or misshapen teeth, giving you a beautiful, uniform smile.
