━ Veneers in Birmingham
Considered veneers,
not overdone.
Veneers are thin facings bonded to the front of teeth to change shape, shade or alignment. Our Birmingham team plans them carefully and explains what is removed and why.
━ Material
Porcelain and composite options
━ Purpose
Shape, shade and alignment
━ Planning
Photographs and try-in stages
━ Location
Erdington, Birmingham
━ When veneers suit
A change in
shape and shade.
Veneers can address teeth that are discoloured, worn, chipped or slightly out of line. Because some tooth surface is usually removed, careful planning and honest discussion come first.
Teeth that will not respond to whitening
Worn or chipped front teeth
Slightly irregular alignment
Old veneers needing replacement
━ Options and care
What to weigh up first.
Veneers are a long-term commitment, so the decision deserves time and clear information.
Porcelain veneers
Laboratory made, hard-wearing and highly aesthetic, bonded to the tooth.
Composite veneers
Applied directly in the surgery, more easily adjusted but less durable.
Tooth preparation
Usually a thin layer is removed, which cannot be replaced afterwards.
Gum health
Healthy gums are essential for veneers to look and function well.
Grinding protection
A night guard may be recommended if you clench or grind.
Maintenance
Veneers need normal cleaning plus regular professional review.

━ Questions answered
Veneers FAQs.
Straightforward answers to the questions patients in Birmingham ask us most often.
Veneers normally require a thin layer of enamel to be removed, which is permanent. That is why your dentist will discuss alternatives such as bonding or whitening first.
Well-made and well-maintained veneers often last many years, though they can chip or debond and may eventually need replacing.
Shape, shade and proportion are planned with you and the laboratory. A try-in stage lets you comment before final bonding.
Yes, a single veneer can be made to match neighbouring teeth, though matching one tooth is technically demanding and is discussed beforehand.
