Veneers
Get a dazzling smile with veneers in Dunstable
If you’re looking to cover up dental flaws such as chips or discoloured teeth and get a dazzling new smile, porcelain veneers could be the answer.
Made from thin layers of porcelain, dental veneers are custom-made to fit over the top of the surface of your tooth to enhance their appearance. Veneers are colour-matched to your own teeth so that they look completely natural.
Veneers can be used to treat one tooth or several teeth. They are used to overcome a range of dental cosmetic issues including improving the shape, colour, size or spacing of your teeth.
Veneers are commonly used to:
- Close gaps between teeth
- Disguise discoloured or heavily stained teeth
- Give shape to uneven or misshapen teeth
- Disguise minor misalignment of teeth
We have treated hundreds of patients for veneers from Dunstable, Sewell, Houghton Regis, Totternhoe and Bedfordshire. Find out more about how veneers can update your smile by getting in touch.
Book An Appointment
How do veneers in Dunstable work?
At your initial consultation, we will assess your teeth and discuss what you want to achieve with your smile. We will discuss the process for veneers, and we may take x-rays at this stage.
At your next appointment, we will prepare the tooth or teeth by trimming off a very thin layer of enamel which allows the veneers to adhere to the surface of your tooth.
We then take impressions of your teeth which are sent to a specialist laboratory and used to create your bespoke veneers. This process may take a week or two so in the meantime you will be fitted with temporary veneers.
Once your custom-made veneers are ready, we will invite you back to the dental practice in Dunstable where your dentist will apply a special bonding material to your teeth which allows the veneers to stick securely in place.

FAQ's for Veneers
Is everyone suitable for veneers?
Veneers can give a long-lasting result if you want to disguise imperfections or enhance the look of your teeth. Your dentist will need to assess your teeth to ensure that you are suitable for veneers. If you have misalignment or spacing issues, your dentist may consider that other treatments such as Invisalign might be better suited. Your dentist will give you their honest opinion at your consultation.
Is the process for porcelain veneers reversible?
No, the process for porcelain veneers is not reversible and this is because the tooth has been gently filed during the preparation stage and the veneers adhered. Porcelain veneers can only be removed by a professional dentist and should then be replaced with new veneers.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
This will depend upon how many teeth you are having treated. As a guide, prices start from £725. We offer 0% financing at Dunstable Dental Practice to help make the cost of veneers affordable.
