What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra‑thin shells of high‑strength dental porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can change the colour, shape, size and alignment of your teeth in just a few appointments, giving a brighter, more even smile.
Porcelain dental veneers can often transform your smile with minimal tooth preparation, making them a popular choice for patients considering a full smile makeover.
At Thames Dental & Skin, our specialist prosthodontist Dr Bravis has over 25 years’ experience planning veneer treatment for teeth and full smile transformations. During your consultation she will talk you through dental porcelain veneers, costs, alternatives and aftercare so you can decide whether veneers are right for you.

Our porcelain veneer treatment process
Consultation and planning
You’ll meet with Dr Bravis to discuss your goals, assess your teeth and gums and review options such as whitening, composite bonding, dental veneers and crowns. We take scans, photos and discuss the number of veneers needed.
Smile design and trial smile
Using your scan and photographs, we design your new smile and create provisional veneers or a mock‑up so you can see proposed changes in shape, length and colour before committing.
Tooth preparation and temporaries
Where needed, a very thin layer of enamel is removed to make space for the veneers. We take precise impressions or 3D scans and place temporary veneers while your custom porcelain veneers are crafted in the lab.
Fitting your porcelain veneers
At your fitting visit we remove the temporaries, try in each veneer and make fine adjustments. Once you are happy, the veneers are bonded to your teeth and polished for a natural, long‑lasting finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check‑ups, porcelain veneers often last 10–15 years or longer. They are more stain‑resistant and durable than composite options, but may eventually need replacing due to normal wear.
Are porcelain veneers a good option for me?
Veneers can be an excellent choice if you want whiter, more even teeth and are looking for a long‑term cosmetic solution. We will always discuss alternatives such as whitening, composite bonding or orthodontics so you can choose the approach that fits your teeth, budget and expectations.
What is the difference between composite bonding and veneers?
Composite bonding is applied directly to the tooth in one visit and is ideal for smaller chips or gaps, but it can stain and typically has a shorter lifespan. Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, require at least two visits and involve more planning, but they offer superior longevity, stain resistance and a highly natural appearance.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth and are mainly used for cosmetic improvements with minimal tooth preparation. Crowns (or caps) cover the whole tooth and are recommended when a tooth is heavily filled, cracked or has had root canal treatment and needs extra strength.
Do you provide dental veneers for patients outside Thames Ditton?
Yes. Patients visit Thames Dental & Skin for porcelain veneers in Thames Ditton from across Surrey, including cosmetic veneers patients from Kingston, Esher, Surbiton, Molesey and Walton‑on‑Thames.
