Porcelain veneers are thin tooth coloured shells designed to cover the surface of the teeth to enhance your aesthetic appeal. They are bonded to the front surface of the teeth hiding their shape, colour, length and size. It is a fairly popular procedure that is used in and around Wimbledon by many dentists to rectify the flaw in the teeth of patients, such as discolouration, chipped teeth and more.

  • Preparation: Firstly, ½ millimetre of the enamel will be removed from the surface of the tooth and this gap created will be filled with the veneer.  A local anaesthesia will be used to numb the part of the teeth to be treated. The next step is impressions to make a model that will be placed on the front surface of the teeth.
