VENEERS
AVERAGE COSTS :
From £495 - £1200 per tooth. The average patient gets 10 veneers on the upper teeth
DESCRIPTION
Natural-looking, strong and stain-resistant, wafer-thin porcelain veneers can be used to correct just one, or multiple teeth. Veneers can be used to correct crooked teeth, or to improve the appearance of a discoloured, worn or chipped smile. To create a perfect fit and adhesion, the dentist reduces the thickness of the teeth, then chemically etches the enamel before placing the veneers.
