by Dr Yasha Shirazi
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are a widely used cosmetic dental treatment for enhancing the shape, colour, and overall harmony of a smile.
Each veneer is custom-crafted by skilled dental technicians to match your desired shade, shape, and size. The porcelain material closely mimics the translucency of natural tooth enamel, reflecting light in a similar way. When designed and placed correctly, porcelain veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers in London are increasingly popular because they can address multiple cosmetic concerns within a single treatment plan, including discolouration, chips, gaps, uneven shapes, and minor alignment issues. Rather than undergoing several procedures, patients can achieve a complete smile transformation in just 2–3 appointments.

Everything you need to know about adult braces in London.
Porcelain veneers at our London clinic start from £547.50 per tooth for members (which is 50% off the standard rate). A full upper-smile case (8–10 teeth) is typically quoted accurately after your consultation.
With good hygiene and care, porcelain veneers typically last 15–20 years. Some of our earlier cases in the Smile Gallery are still in place 11 years later.
Only if they're designed to. A well-planned case mimics the natural translucency, surface texture and shade gradient of real teeth — the goal is a result people compliment without being able to say why.
Yes — single veneers are placed where a specific tooth doesn't match its neighbours. The shade-match challenge is the trickiest part of single-tooth cases, which is why we use layered porcelain rather than monolithic materials.
