The Ultimate Smile Transformation
Porcelain veneers are the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry — ultra-thin, bespoke ceramic shells that deliver a perfect, radiant smile with exceptional longevity. The choice of discerning patients worldwide.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Precision-crafted for beauty, strength and lasting confidence
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of dental-grade ceramic, custom-crafted in a specialist dental laboratory to fit precisely over the front surface of your teeth. Each veneer is individually designed to your preferred shape, size and shade, delivering a flawless, natural-looking smile transformation.
At Wickham Market Dental Practice, we work with master dental technicians using the finest ceramic materials to achieve results that are genuinely indistinguishable from natural teeth. Porcelain has a light-reflective quality that mimics real tooth enamel — creating that naturally radiant appearance that composite bonding cannot fully replicate.
Veneers can address virtually any cosmetic concern — discolouration, chips, cracks, irregular shapes, minor misalignment and worn surfaces — in just two or three appointments. With proper care, your veneers can last 10–20 years, making them a truly long-term investment in your confidence and appearance.

Why Patients Choose This Treatment
Exceptional Longevity
High-quality porcelain veneers last 10–20 years with appropriate care, making them one of the most durable cosmetic dental investments available.
Stain Resistant
Unlike natural enamel or composite resin, porcelain is highly resistant to staining from tea, coffee, wine and food. Your veneers will maintain their beautiful lustre for years.
Completely Bespoke
Every veneer is individually designed and hand-crafted by specialist dental technicians. Shade, shape, length, translucency and texture are all customised to your preferences.
Indistinguishable from Natural Teeth
The light-reflecting properties of dental porcelain create a depth and translucency that closely mimics real tooth enamel, producing results of extraordinary natural beauty.
Versatile Correction
Veneers can address discolouration, chips, cracks, gaps, misshapen teeth, worn surfaces and minor crowding — providing comprehensive smile correction in one treatment.
Minimal Tooth Preparation
Modern ultra-thin veneers often require only minimal tooth reduction — typically 0.3–0.7mm — preserving the maximum amount of healthy tooth structure.

We guide you through every stage — from your first consultation to your final result.
Smile Design Consultation
60 minutesYour journey begins with an in-depth smile design consultation. We discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your teeth and oral health, and use digital photography and imaging to co-create your ideal smile. A digital wax-up may be produced to preview your final result.
Tooth Preparation
60–90 minutesA very thin layer of enamel (0.3–0.7mm) is gently reduced from the front surface of each tooth to create space for the veneer. Local anaesthetic ensures complete comfort. Impressions or digital scans are taken and sent to our laboratory.
Temporary Veneers
45 minutesWhile your bespoke porcelain veneers are being crafted by our specialist laboratory (typically 2–3 weeks), we fit a set of temporary composite veneers so you can experience your new smile shape and provide feedback.
Laboratory Fabrication
2–3 weeksYour permanent veneers are hand-crafted by expert dental ceramists using high-grade dental porcelain. Each veneer is individually layered, fired and characterised to achieve the perfect shade, shape and translucency.
Fitting & Bonding
90–120 minutesAt your final appointment, the temporary veneers are removed and each porcelain veneer is carefully tried in for fit and aesthetics. Once you are completely happy, they are permanently bonded to your teeth using specialist dental cement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions our patients ask most often.
Because a small amount of enamel is typically removed to accommodate veneers, the process is considered irreversible — meaning your teeth will always require coverage once veneers are placed. However, if a veneer chips or wears out after many years, it can be replaced. Proper care can extend their lifespan to 15–20 years.
