Porcelain Veneers in Barnet
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, porcelain veneers can provide a long-lasting and highly effective solution. At Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet, we create custom-made porcelain veneers designed to improve the shape, colour, alignment, and overall appearance of your smile while keeping the result natural and elegant.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of high-quality ceramic material bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. Each veneer is individually designed to match your smile and facial features, creating a natural appearance while improving the aesthetics of your teeth.
We recommend:
- Tooth colour
- Tooth shape
- Tooth size
- Minor alignment issues
- Small gaps between teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Worn teeth
- Uneven teeth
Because veneers are so versatile, they’re often considered one of the most transformative cosmetic dental treatments available.
See Your Smile Before Treatment Begins
Using digital smile design, we can show you a preview of your proposed new smile before any tooth preparation takes place, so you can feel confident about the result before committing to treatment.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Many patients choose veneers because they can address several cosmetic concerns
simultaneously without needing multiple separate treatments.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Correct?
Porcelain veneers are commonly used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns.
Discoloured Teeth
Some stains don’t respond fully to whitening treatment. Veneers can provide a brighter, more consistent appearance.
Damaged Teeth
Minor chips and imperfections can be concealed, creating a smoother, more balanced smile.
Gaps Between Teeth
Small spaces between teeth can often be closed using veneers without orthodontic treatment.
Worn Teeth
Teeth that have become worn over time can be restored to a more youthful appearance.
