Veneers at Battersea Smiles: Your Path to a Natural, Lasting Smile Makeover

If you’ve ever wished for a flawless smile without years of orthodontic treatment, veneers at Battersea Smiles could be the perfect solution. Veneers are a versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment that can dramatically enhance your smile’s appearance, whether you want to cover chips, close gaps, or brighten stained teeth.

At Battersea Smiles, we combine modern techniques with a patient-first approach to ensure your veneers look beautifully natural, feel comfortable, and last for years.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. At Battersea Smiles, we offer both porcelain and composite veneers:

  • Porcelain veneers – Known for their strength, stain resistance, and natural translucency, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years with proper care.
  • Composite veneers – Made from tooth-coloured resin, these can be applied in a single visit and are more cost-effective, though they may need replacement sooner than porcelain.

You can read more about the differences on our veneers treatment page.

Why Choose Veneers?

Veneers are ideal for patients who want to address multiple aesthetic concerns at once, including:

  • Discoloured or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening
  • Chipped, worn, or uneven edges
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Mildly crooked or misshapen teeth

They offer a fast, predictable way to achieve a harmonious, confident smile without invasive surgery.

The Veneer Process at Battersea Smiles

Choosing veneers is an exciting journey, and at Battersea Smiles, we make sure every step is tailored to you.

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite. This includes discussing your goals, reviewing treatment options, and taking digital photographs or impressions.

2. Smile Design & Preparation

Your veneers are custom designed to complement your face shape, skin tone, and natural tooth colour. For porcelain veneers, we may gently prepare the front surface of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. Composite veneers usually require little to no preparation.

3. Veneer Application

Porcelain veneers are crafted in a dental lab and bonded in a second appointment. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto your teeth in one visit, then shaped and polished for a natural finish.

4. Final Adjustments

We make sure your bite feels comfortable and that your veneers blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Caring for Your Veneers

To ensure your veneers stay beautiful and last as long as possible:

  • Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
  • Floss daily to maintain gum health
  • Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pen caps)
  • Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night
  • Attend regular dental check-ups for professional cleaning and maintenance
