About the treatment
Our dentists work closely with master technicians to produce restorations with stunning accuracy that look unbelievably natural.
And with a full suite of the latest digital dentistry and smile design equipment at our fingertips, we can plan your future smile, right down to the last detail.
Superstar Smiles
You’ve probably seen veneers before – they are the secret behind many Hollywood and celebrity smiles.
We use them to cover damage like breakages, chips and cracks, and they’re also helpful for closing minor gaps and hiding discolouration.
The veneer itself is an extremely thin but durable cover bonded to the teeth, a little like a false fingernail. When applied by our cosmetic dentists at Tavistock Dental, porcelain veneers are the ultimate in minimally-invasive aesthetic smile treatments.
Why Are Veneers So Popular?
Perhaps the most obvious reason for getting porcelain veneers is the immediate lift they give your smile. Unlike restorations such as bridges or implants, we place veneers onto your existing teeth, but the results speak for themselves.
We’ll create your new, natural-looking smile in a relatively straightforward procedure. You can choose to have veneers on just one tooth, or you could opt to give your entire smile a makeover.
Once placed, well-cared-for veneers can last over a decade, meaning your bright smile will shine for many years to come.
What to Expect From Your Porcelain Veneer Procedure
Before placing your veneers, we need to understand what you dislike about your teeth to ensure you get the best treatment.
We’ll start with a consultation where we’ll use the latest technology to assess your teeth and take a scan of your teeth. Then, using this information, we’ll carefully design your new smile and plan how we’ll create it.
We’ll send your information to the lab, where our skilled technicians will handcraft your beautiful bespoke veneers. Once they’re ready, we’ll get you back into the clinic to place them.
There’s very little preparation needed ahead of placing porcelain veneers. So that they sit snug on your teeth without protruding, we’ll carefully remove a fine layer of enamel off the teeth we’re treating.
At every stage of the veneer placement process, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible. For this reason, we’ll use a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area.
Once we’ve prepared your tooth, we’ll gently place the veneer into position. When we’re happy with how it looks, we’ll bond it to your tooth, ensuring it stays permanently in place.
Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
We want your veneers to look great for as long as possible. While they are durable, just like your natural teeth, your new veneers may chip or break if proper care isn’t taken. Avoid chewing anything hard like ice, your nails, or pen lids to make them last.
Your new bright white smile won’t discolour in the same way as your natural teeth. That said, strong-coloured food and drink may still leave their mark. So always brush after eating or drinking anything that may stain.
Finally, your veneers will protect your teeth from further damage or decay; however, it doesn’t mean you’ll become immune to dental caries. Always maintain good oral hygiene standards and visit us twice a year for a full checkup.

What our satisfied clients are saying about us!
Sarah Tweed I had SUCH a positive experience with Tavistock dental and can’t recommend them enough. As a very anxious patient due to past bad experiences, I was looking for a clinic that specialised in helping anxious people and that’s exactly what Tavistock do. From the receptionists (shout out to Rosa who took my initial call & Jo who was my contact for the actual appointments) who are trained to handle enquiries from nervous people, through to Dr Frances who is their nervous patient specialist - everyone was so kind and understanding. No one made me feel bad for how anxious I was. Everything was thoroughly explained. I had my treatment and am really happy with the results. Due to having such a good experience and it giving me more confidence, I’m going to stick with Tavistock and Dr Frances going forward. Thank you to everyone at Tavistock - this might finally be the clinic that cracks my long-standing fear!angela dong Very nice and professional!Estelle Zanga Joanna & Rosa are the best ! 😊😊 All the dentists are amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I was so nervous and they made me feel super comfortable!Yiran Wang Great service! Love it!parisa rajappan Fabulous dental practice! I called with tooth pain and was able to book an emergency appointment that morning. I've since had 2 wisdom teeth removed (within the space of a month) and the whole team was extremely kind and accommodating throughout. The receptionists, Rosa and Joanna, were so friendly and definitely helped calm nerves pre- and post-tooth removal. Dr Jack was very comforting when explaining the process and answering any questions I had, and made the whole procedure painless (and extremely swift). As someone with a terrible fear of needles and embarrassingly low pain tolerance, I can confidently say this place worked miracles! Thank you all :)Yijing Wang 上周四打电话约的周二下午五点 不用等很久 医生加班给我补的牙 技术很好😭😭😭Joanne Johnson Great dental practice. I'm on holiday & needed an emergency repair to my fixed retainer. They couldn't have been more helpful when I called and managed to fit me in the morning I called. Special shout out to Rosa & Jo in reception who were so lovely & Jack the dentist who was fabulous. Even though it wasn't a big job he still took his time explaining what he was doing, even showing me on screen the before & after treatment. He was kind enough to point out other areas of my retainers which will likely need some attention in the future. At each step of the process I knew what was happening. If I lived in London, and based on today, I'd use this practice.Gwen Mitchell Everyone is lovely and so understanding. The receptionists (shout out to Jo and Rosa) are friendly and really do their best to put you at ease. They have an option of being shown round and introduced to people before any work which I've never been offered before. Dr Frances is a calming presence and worked hard to put fears and my embarrassment to rest. I have fibromyalgia and issues with jaw pain. They did their best to work around my issues and not trigger ongoing pain. I would definitely recommend them to anyone like me with bad previous experiences which trigger severe anxiety.Daniel Ranebro Räddade min semester i London , Ioannna hjälpte till snabbt så jag fick träffa tandläkaren som tog bort min smärta i tanden .
