Veneers at M Dental Greenwich
Veneers are one of the most transformative treatments in cosmetic dentistry, and at M Dental Greenwich we design them to look completely natural – never bulky or obvious. Our Harrison Walk practice is a short walk from Island Gardens DLR, with Cutty Sark DLR, Greenwich town centre and North Greenwich all close by, making us an easy choice for patients across Blackheath, Deptford, New Cross and Maze Hill.
Every case is planned by principal dentist Dr Tim Meskhi (GDC 151044) and our team, using digital scans, intraoral cameras and careful shade-matching so your new smile suits your face, your bite and your personality. Good veneers are as much about restraint and proportion as they are about brightness, and that attention to detail is what keeps a result looking like your own teeth at their very best.
Understanding your veneer options
A veneer is a thin, custom-made facing bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape, size or alignment. They are an excellent way to mask stubborn discolouration, close small gaps, repair worn or chipped edges and create a more even, harmonious smile. At our Greenwich clinic we offer:
- Porcelain veneers – crafted by a dental laboratory from high-quality ceramic, these are extremely lifelike, resist staining and are hard-wearing. They reflect light much like natural enamel.
- Composite veneers – sculpted directly onto the tooth from tooth-coloured resin, often in a single visit, offering a more affordable and minimally invasive option.
During your consultation we will explain the pros and cons of each, how much (if any) tooth preparation is involved, and roughly how long each type tends to last, so you can choose with complete confidence.
Are veneers right for you?
Veneers suit people who are broadly happy with the health of their teeth but want to improve their appearance – for example, teeth that are discoloured and do not respond to whitening, chipped or worn edges, slightly crooked or uneven teeth, or small gaps. Your gums and the underlying teeth need to be healthy first, so we will treat any decay or gum concerns before cosmetic work begins.
Veneers are not always the only answer. If your teeth are quite crooked, straightening them with Invisalign or braces first can allow a more conservative result. Minor chips or gaps might be solved more simply with composite bonding, while a badly broken tooth may be better restored with a crown. We will only recommend veneers when they are genuinely the right tool for what you want to achieve.
What to expect at our Greenwich clinic
Your treatment typically follows a few clear stages:
- Consultation and design – we listen to what you would like to change, take digital scans and photographs, and plan the shape and shade of your new smile together.
- Preparation – for porcelain veneers, a very thin layer of enamel may be gently prepared before impressions are sent to the laboratory; composite veneers are often built up directly with little or no preparation.
- Fitting – porcelain veneers are carefully bonded at a second visit, while composite veneers are usually completed the same day.
- Review – we check your bite, polish everything to a natural finish and make sure you are delighted.
Most patients find the process comfortable, with local anaesthetic used if any preparation is needed. Looking after veneers is simple: brush and floss as normal, avoid biting directly into very hard foods, and keep up regular check-ups and hygienist visits so they stay looking their best for years. If a veneer ever chips or needs attention further down the line, we can usually repair or replace an individual one without redoing the whole set.
Veneer prices in Greenwich & spreading the cost
Veneers at M Dental Greenwich start from £420 per tooth, with the exact cost depending on the material you choose and how many teeth you would like to treat. Your quote will always be clear and itemised, covering the planning, the veneer itself and the fitting appointments. Because a full set of veneers is a significant investment in your confidence, we offer 0% finance so you can spread the cost over comfortable monthly payments rather than paying everything upfront.
