Veneers: Transform Your Smile with Natural-Looking Results
If you’re looking to enhance your smile with minimal changes to your natural teeth, veneers might be the perfect option. At Hampstead Dental Practice, we offer both composite resin veneers (often called bonding) and porcelain veneers—two highly effective and natural-looking ways to correct imperfections and give your smile a fresh, confident look.
Whether you’re concerned about chipped teeth, gaps, discoloration, or uneven edges, veneers can help you achieve a beautifully balanced smile with results that feel just as good as they look.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin layers of material applied to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They’re custom-made to meet your specific needs in regard to tooth colour and shape, and are able to create a seamless, natural-looking result.
Veneers are ideal for treating:
• Discoloration or staining that doesn’t respond to whitening
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Misshapen or uneven teeth
• Minor alignment issues

Composite Resin Veneers (Bonding)
Also known as dental bonding, composite veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin that’s carefully sculpted and bonded directly to the front of your teeth. This is a quicker and more affordable veneer option that can often be completed in just one visit.
Benefits of Composite Veneers:
✅ Typically completed in one appointment
✅ Minimally invasive—often no need for drilling or numbing
✅ Cost-effective cosmetic enhancement
✅ Easily repairable if chipped or damaged

Composite veneers are a great choice for patients looking for a fast, affordable way to make cosmetic improvements. While they may not last as long as porcelain, they still offer beautiful results.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality ceramic. These are bonded to the front of your teeth and designed to closely mimic the look and feel of natural enamel—including the way light reflects off the tooth surface.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers:
✅ Exceptional aesthetics—translucent and lifelike
✅ Long-lasting and highly durable (often 10–15 years or more)
✅ Stain-resistant—helps keep your smile bright
✅ Ideal for more comprehensive or long-term smile makeovers

Because porcelain veneers are custom-designed and made in a dental lab, they typically require two visits: one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement. The results are dramatic and long-lasting.
