Porcelain veneers in Croydon
Porcelain veneers are a good treatment option to consider for stained, discoloured, chipped, or mis-aligned teeth, appearing like natural teeth.
Upgrade Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover over the front surface of teeth. They transform and improve the overall appearance (shape/position) of front teeth.
Based on your needs, we can adjust the shape of your veneers to make your teeth overall look longer and/or closer together.

quick facts about porcelain veneers
- You can have just one veneer or a receive a full smile makeover.
- Tooth preparation is minimal and confined to the enamel structure. The veneer is adhesively bonded to the tooth structure with tooth-coloured resin cement. Normally the whole process only takes 2 visits to complete.
- if a tooth is broken down, a veneer can add strength, but simultaneously look natural, like your other teeth.
- For a single stained tooth we can also match the precise shade of porcelain to give it a lighter appearance and fit in with the surrounding teeth.
- If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
- Patients should be aware that this is usually an irreversible process because it’s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.
Composite veneers vs porcelain veneers
At Mayfield Dental, we also provide composite veneers as a more affordable option to porcelain veneers, so you have more budget-friendly options to consider.
Though composite veneers are a more affordable, less invasive alternative to porcelain, their main downsides include:
- A shorter lifespan (5-7 years)
- Higher susceptibility to staining, and lower resistance to chipping or wear
- Being made of a more porous material, requiring regular maintenance, polishing, and eventual replacement
