Do veneers ruin your teeth?

Done well, modern veneers are extremely conservative — we remove only a fraction of a millimetre of enamel. We always discuss less invasive options first.

How long do veneers last?

With good care and regular check-ups, quality porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years and often longer.

How many veneers will I need?

Usually 6–10 across the smile line for a balanced look — but we tailor every case to your individual smile and what shows when you laugh.

Are veneers right for me, or is bonding better?

It depends on the shape, position and condition of your teeth. We'll always be honest — sometimes composite bonding does the job beautifully and much more conservatively.

Porcelain veneers at Surrey Quays Dental Practice

01 — Overview

What is Porcelain Veneers?

A porcelain veneer is a thin, custom-made shell of dental ceramic bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers can change the colour, shape, length and alignment of teeth — and when designed and crafted well, they look completely natural.

We work with skilled UK ceramists, use digital design and always favour minimal preparation. In many cases we recommend an additive bonding mock-up first so you can preview and approve your new smile.
