Porcelain veneer cost

A full new smile from £5,100 (6 veneers)

In London especially, the cost of veneers can differ from practice to practice.

However, the general cost of veneers is based on the skills, talents, and expertise of your veneer dentist and technician and the type of material used. Porcelain veneers cost £850.

Patients should remember that particular offers will depend on the required veneers. For example, patients needing one or two veneers could pay more than those having multiple.

Our porcelain veneer offer:

  • Free consultations
  • Home tooth whitening when having multiple veneers
  • Aftercare and follow-up appointments
Porcelain veneers on finance

Patients looking to completely overhaul their smiles with six porcelain veneers can expect to pay £5,100 for their treatment. Patients looking to break up the cost of their payments can do so with 0% finance or over 60 months (14.9%) which would amount to £118.58 per month.

I chose Mint Dental Clinic after searching for various dental clinics offering sedation and I had an incredible experience thanks to the entire team!! I am terrified of the dentist with a phobia of needles, and I avoid going for check-ups to the point where I developed a huge amount of cavities. After my teeth were analysed by Dr Patel's team, they identified that some of them needed urgent fillings. As sedation is expensive, the team was helpful and patient in helping me figure out the right financial plan to tackle everything before my teeth worsened, including adding extra teeth cleaning for free! I had IV sedation twice for two rounds of fillings across a month, and each time I was put at ease despite coming in the clinic with intense anxiety. I cried as I sat in the chair with the IV in my arm due to my fear of needles. They were kind and patient, and the nurses / sedationists helped calm down my breathing despite the panic. I was terrified of being 'awake' but not being able to communicate or breathe. The team was very reassuring in those fears and I had a lovely experience where I remained conscious but with amnesia, so I had 0 trauma afterwards since you have no memory of anything! The team made me feel heard and supported without being judged. They made sure my chaperone knew everything before bringing me home, and all of my teeth are healthy without any complications post-appointment. I am now ready for routine work without the intense fear of dentistry and feel much more ready to start any dental work WITHOUT sedation in the very near future!

The whole team at Mint, starting from the moment you walk through the door (or call up) are focused on providing excellent care. Great reception team and Orman especially, always goes that extra mile. My dentists (Dr Mehdi and Dr Alves) are very personable, thorough and ensured everything was explained clearly, and only proceeded once I'd understood and was content. Whilst in the chair, both dentists were checking in making sure I was doing ok throughout it all. Then at the end, checked I was happy and offered an open-door to return, for some tweaks if necessary. I am very happy with the results. I always feel completely at ease for my visits, so much so that I look forward to them. Highly recommend! >

I’ve had an outstanding experience at this clinic. Dr. Raj Patel delivers exceptional quality work and somehow makes every treatment feel completely painless. It’s amazing having all types of dental care under one roof, and the whole team really focuses on prevention rather than quick fixes. After completing my treatment, I now have a healthy, confident smile that still looks natural. The hygienists are fantastic, and every member of the team is warm, professional, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing. If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t the place for you—but if you want thorough, honest, high-quality dentistry, I can’t recommend this clinic enough.

I’ve had an excellent experience at this dental practice. My hygienist Peter is absolutely brilliant, thorough and incredibly skilled at what he does. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes each visit comfortable. A big shout-out as well to Arman at reception. He’s always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the whole process from booking to check-in smooth and stress-free. Overall, a fantastic team and a dentist I truly trust. Highly recommend!

I inquired about Invisalign's earlier this year at this clinic, as I was quite self conscious of my teeth. I had a very insightful conversation with Arman who gave me a thorough explanation regarding the process, treatment, what to expect results wise, and the cost. This then led me to begin my Invisalign journey, and from start to finish it has truly been seamless, immensely effective, and so beneficial. Dr Sharma did an exceptional job throughout, and helped in understanding the developments to expect, how it occurs, and overall making my experience extremely easy and efficient. The service was immaculate from the receptionists, Dr Sharma and his assistant dentist. Also as of recent, I’ve been getting hygiene checkups by Danica and I must say she has been amazing. She explained the anatomy of my teeth and gums in detail, and made me understand much more about dental hygiene and its cruciality. Overall I have no complaints whatsoever, and will 100% refer this clinic to friends and family, as they produce and prioritise high-quality work and service. Extra shout out to Arman as he’s been extremely helpful, and looked after me very well.

I highly recommend this dentist. Dr Patel is an exceptional professional, and my family and I have been attending for many years. Since we moved to the Clinic, even my son, who never liked going to the dentist, now looks forward to his visits. The dental hygienist is also excellent. The reception team provide consistently high service, always polite, welcoming and professional.

Porcelain veneer types

As you might know, veneers target multiple issues within a short time frame. 

However, with several different types available, ranging from high-end permanent to cheaper temporary solutions, it is unclear which ones to go for.

Lumineer veneers
  • Require less dental preparation
  • Referred to as no-prep veneers
  • Made from an ultra-thin material
  • Slightly more translucent
Ultrathin veneers
  • Crafted using ultra-thin porcelain
  • Requires minimal tooth preparation
  • The material is very thin, which means dentists can get away with removing the least amount of enamel possible.
  • Requires a skilled veneer dentist and technician.
Durathin veneers
  • Contact-lens-like custom veneers
  • Adhere directly to front tooth using special cement
  • Less invasive than traditional veneers – requires zero removal of enamel
Laminate veneers

Laminate veneers, are just the same as regular veneers, consisting of wafer-thin veneers that are made out of ceramic materials. 

Emax veneers
  • Created using durable and high-strength porcelain
  • Fitted without the need for etching
  • Requires minimal tooth preparation
  • Thin-layered

Your guide to dental veneers

What do porcelain veneers fix?

Porcelain veneers can be used to treat a wide variety of smile problems (even orthodontic ones) – they are the fastest way patients can achieve their dream smile. Many of the smile problems we use veneers to treat include:

  • General smile enhancements
  • To fix yellow, stained or discoloured teeth
  • To close gaps larger than 6mm
  • To fix chipped, cracked and broken teeth
  • Realignment of mildly crooked teeth
Advantages of porcelain veneers
  • Removes and minimises the need for tooth shaving, etching and drilling.
  • Requires no injections – local anaesthetic is used, however, to ensure the patient’s comfort.
  • Porcelain veneers are highly-resistant to stains.
  • The application of porcelain veneers only takes one appointment.
  • The most natural-looking cosmetic enhancement.
  • Very few laminates or dental prosthetics mimic natural light in the way that porcelain veneers do.
Limitations of porcelain veneers
  • Even though there is minimal drilling of the teeth, no drilling veneers are more commonly prescribed in cases where patients wish to have more expressive teeth.
  • Regular porcelain veneers will require a minimal amount of enamel removal from the tooth so they can sit firmly on top – this is often only the size of the veneer itself (between 0.3mm and 0.6mm). Tooth removal is also necessary for patients looking to avoid their teeth looking thick or bulky. Patients looking to avoid this process can turn to composite veneers instead.
  • Porcelain veneers are a commitment for life, they are non-reversible and will require care and attention.
  • Porcelain veneers can be expected to last a minimum of 10 years, however, it’s actually more common for them to last longer than this.
  • Porcelain veneers are not easy to repair, and will likely need to be replaced if broken.
The veneer process
  1. Consultation: We’ll get to know you and your smile and discover what a dream smile looks like.
  2. Examination: We’ll assess your teeth and gum condition to see if you’re a good candidate for veneers.
  3. Assessment: After examining your mouth, we’ll find out whether veneer application will be possible without any tooth removal.
  4. Trial smile: We’ll mock up your new smile on a cast model, so you can see exactly what we can achieve in advance.
  5. Impressions: After preparing your teeth, we’ll use impressions to create provisional veneers based on our trial smile.
  6. Custom-made: When you’re happy, and no modifications need to be made, we’ll send your specs to the dental laboratory for your final veneers to be made.
  7. Fitting appointment: Now, it’s time to apply your veneers, which will only take one appointment.
Do porcelain veneers break or fall off?

Any type or form of porcelain veneer can come off – but the likelihood of them falling off after being cemented to the enamel of the tooth is rare.

The bond between the veneer and the enamel will be incredibly strong. Breakages tend to happen when there is excessive forces applied or inappropriate habits.

Can porcelain veneers stain or be whitened?

Porcelain veneers do not stain easily and are regarded to be a highly-resistant material. However, they can discolour if you smoke, or drink beverages like red wine. Patients must also remember that the tooth around the veneer can still stain. 

Dental veneers cannot be whitened once you have chosen their colour.
