What is a veneer?
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain designed to fit over the front of the tooth to change its colour, shape or position. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured tooth or to lighten the front teeth. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again by covering the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the broken part. Veneers are also recommended if you have gaps in your teeth when orthodontic braces may not be suitable, or if you have not had success with tooth whitening. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it in line with the others. Veneers last longer than bonding, provide a superior appearance, and are less expensive than crowns.

How long does it take to fit a veneer?
A veneer will take at least two visits to the Dr Richard Clinics near Harley Street, London, W1: the first to prepare the tooth and to match the shade, and the second to fit it. Before bonding it in place, we will show you the veneer on your tooth to make sure you are happy with it.
