Custom veneers

Custom veneers are thin, bespoke restorations designed to improve the appearance of teeth by enhancing shape, colour, and overall balance. They are carefully crafted to suit each individual smile, with a focus on natural aesthetics and long-term oral health.

At Harley Private Dental, veneers are planned with precision and restraint. Our approach prioritises subtle, considered improvements that complement your facial features and preserve natural tooth structure wherever possible.

What are custom veneers?

Veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. Custom veneers are individually designed for each patient, taking into account tooth shape, alignment, colour, bite, and facial proportions.

They are typically made from high-quality ceramic materials chosen for their strength, durability, and natural appearance.

Custom veneers are designed to create natural-looking improvements rather than dramatic changes.

How are custom veneers different from standard veneers?

Custom veneers are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each veneer is designed specifically for your teeth and smile goals. This includes:

  • Careful assessment and smile planning
  • Individual shade and shape selection
  • Precise fit and minimal tooth preparation
  • Attention to natural light reflection and texture

This level of planning helps ensure results look balanced, refined, and appropriate for the individual.

What can custom veneers be used for?

Custom veneers may be used to improve:

  • Discolouration that does not respond to whitening
  • Uneven or worn tooth edges
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Mild misalignment
  • Irregular tooth shape or size
  • Overall smile harmony

Treatment is always planned conservatively, and alternatives may be discussed where appropriate.

Who is suitable for custom veneers?

Custom veneers may be suitable if you:

  • Have healthy teeth and gums
  • Are looking to improve the appearance of your smile
  • Want a long-term cosmetic solution
  • Understand the importance of maintenance and aftercare

A consultation is essential to assess suitability and discuss whether veneers are the most appropriate option or if alternative treatments may achieve your goals more conservatively.

What does the treatment involve?

Custom veneer treatment usually takes place over several appointments:

  1. Assessment and planning
    We assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and plan the design of your veneers. Digital scans and photographs may be used to support planning.
  2. Tooth preparation
    Minimal preparation of the tooth surface may be required to ensure a precise fit.
  3. Temporary veneers
    Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom veneers are being crafted.
  4. Fitting and bonding
    The final veneers are carefully fitted, adjusted, and bonded in place to ensure comfort, function, and aesthetics.

Each stage is carried out with attention to detail and patient comfort.

What results can I expect?

Custom veneers are designed to create natural-looking improvements rather than dramatic changes. Results vary depending on the starting condition of the teeth and the agreed treatment plan.

Patients may expect:

  • Improved symmetry and tooth shape
  • A balanced, natural-looking smile
  • Long-lasting aesthetic enhancement
  • Results tailored to facial features and preferences

Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, and regular dental care.

Caring for custom veneers

Caring for veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth:

  • Brush twice daily
  • Clean between teeth regularly
  • Attend routine dental check-ups and hygiene appointments
  • Avoid biting hard objects

Good maintenance supports the longevity and appearance of veneers over time.

Are custom veneers right for me?

Veneers are one of several cosmetic treatment options available. A consultation allows us to assess your teeth, discuss what is achievable, and recommend the most appropriate approach for your individual needs.

Personalised care starts here

A consultation gives us time to understand your needs, explain your options clearly, and plan care that’s right for you.

Spread the cost of your treatment

We offer finance options through Chrysalis Finance to help make treatment costs more manageable. This allows eligible patients to spread the cost of treatment over time with clear, structured repayments. Finance is available at a representative 14.9% APR, subject to status and approval.

How the finance calculator works

Our finance calculator provides an indicative example of how treatment costs may be spread into monthly payments based on a 14.9% APR. Simply enter the estimated treatment cost and select a repayment term to view a guide price. Figures shown are for illustration only. Final repayment amounts will be confirmed following consultation and finance approval.

Using the calculator does not commit you to treatment or finance. It is designed to help you understand your options clearly, without pressure. Full details, including repayment terms and eligibility, will always be explained before you proceed.
