Veneers and bonding in London

Veneers are thin shells fixed to the front of your teeth. They change the shape or colour of the teeth. The material is the biggest factor in the price.

What veneers cost in London

Across London practices that publish a price:

• Composite veneers and bonding have a median starting price of £250 per tooth, from about 580 practices. Composite is a tooth-coloured resin. It can usually be done in one visit. It stains sooner and often needs replacing after 5 to 7 years.
• Porcelain veneers have a median starting price of £800 per tooth, from about 370 practices. They are made in a lab and usually last 10 to 15 years.

The borough table on this page shows a median of £325 per tooth. That figure mixes both materials, and more practices publish a composite price than a porcelain one. When you compare quotes, check the material first.

A set of 6 to 8 porcelain veneers on the front teeth costs several thousand pounds. Ask for the total price, not only the price per tooth.

What is involved

For porcelain veneers, the dentist usually files away a thin layer of enamel (the outer layer of the tooth). This cannot be undone, so you will always need veneers on those teeth. Composite veneers usually need less or no filing, and they can sometimes be removed. Ask your dentist to explain both options before you decide.

Veneers and the NHS

Veneers for appearance are not available on the NHS. In rare cases, an NHS dentist may fit a veneer when there is a clinical need, such as to repair a damaged front tooth. This is charged at Band 3 (£332.10).
